What is Visa Journey saying everyone's expected approval date is? Mine is saying between December 17th and December 31st. That just seems so long 😔

Mine's been all over the place, latest one said December 10th...which would be 14 months if it is, but hoping its sooner 🙏 x

At the moment is 6 weeks over one year, when every thing is okay,……but it could change each week……🤷🏻‍♂️🙇🏻

Isn't one year and 6 weeks = 13.5 months? Not 15...just trying to be hopeful here 😂😂..hopefully no RFE too...some June and July filers are reporting they were 13 ish, so that would be good 👍

That's where my estimates are now as a July 2023 filer. However, things have been getting significantly worse. In May of 2023, the estimates were around a year. Now we're looking at 13.5 to 14 months at least. It seems to get worse every month. 15 months is on the horizon.

Uuugh yes you're probably right. Can you imagine what it will be next year! Thank goodness we are in the queue at least 😏

Yeah mine too and I am 2 days behind you. 

But, there was someone on June or July filers who recently was already approved and her estimate was still saying 10 months or something 🤔. I take more notice of what others report on here to be honest.

The estimates are made up, you're correct paying attention to reports by others.

Filed Oct 8, 2023. Under active review since Oct 18, 2023.

Estimate says another 6 months which we know means nothing.

Bottom line, it is taking over a year just for I-130

My PD is Oct 2, 2023 and I have been checking every week the processing times as well as filers by month. It's very close to being the end of September (early October) so I'm hoping that they will hurry to approve August cases. It is a very long wait and we can only assume that USCIS are doing their best to move things along as best as they can.
