Does approved NoA2 mean petition sent to NVC? (Merged 2x)

[Ryan & Rachaya 9]

 

A few weeks ago, I submitted a request to withdraw the previous I-130 since there wasn't a way to correct my mistakes.

I received the confirmation of that today, so that attempt is dead and buried and I'll try to stop kicking myself about it.

 

We filed (and paid for) a new I-130, electronically again, on Sept 27th and by Oct 2nd it was already marked as active, with an estimated time until decision of 6 weeks. I was hoping for something in the mail to expand on this (we received the NoA1 quickly, as normal) but nothing has arrived - though the estimated time is ticking down (to 4 weeks now).

 

My question is what could be going on here? Normally an I-130 would sit there for a year+ before being looked at right? Is there a chance that some angel at USCIS read my letters and bumped us up since this is a "replacement" application? Or is this more likely a sign that something is wrong? I suppose, in theory, that I will find out in 4 weeks - but I thought I would ask and maybe save another month of stress.  Either way, good news or bad, it would certainly be better to get it in a month rather than in a year!

I cannot talk for your case, hopefully it will be 6 weeks, I have come to the conclusion time lines are assigned on a random basis and usually have very little relationship to reality.

 

Good luck.
