Perhaps the petition for your additional child is cause for delay? From what I can tell on this forum, it seems they’re up to around August 29th today. August 4th petitions were processed a few weeks ago. If I were you, I think I would consider reaching out for help at this point. Does anyone know if there’s a number to call if a petition seems to be stagnant, or if there are attorneys who might be able to help with GMF’s situation?

They said have to wait until the end of June 2025 to file an inquiry, that is past the timeline for the petition.

according to track my visa website, if I am reading correct about 35 percent of the cases from August 2023 are still pending

Is there possibly any reason why my date of Aug 4th is just sitting there with no updates? When dates past mine are being approved. Vermont Service Center.

I’m also Aug 4th with no updates. Original service center was Texas but now I think it’s Vermont…

We’re doomed ☠️

But I think if you look at all previous months, the unapproved 25-30% range remains for a very long time. It’s my understanding that that percentage is for cases which are more complex, i.e., by people petitioning for additional dependents, from field offices and so forth, but that straightforward cases are generally approved within 15 months.

How do you know if your case was transferred? We just have the first NOA letter as an attachment which reads Nebraska. Is the transfer posted elsewhere in MYUSCIS or on another site?

Go to Emma and type “INFOPASS”. Immediately directed to a live agent. They tell you where is your case at.

Thank you GMF and Mocha!😊

Our filing date was August 30, 2023.  Today we got a notice that our case is being actively reviewed.  It says that estimated time until decision is 4 months (!), but I am guessing that is a canned reply that doesn't mean much, from what others on this forum have said?  Fingers crossed that it's within the next few days.

My case was officially approved after 5 days of a second AR. Approval letter presented the date of a second AR. Your case must have been approved already!

We got our I-130 approval notice today, we were August 30 filers.  Approval dated Nov. 22, so they kept us in suspense for the weekend.

Still no news here. Any other August people still waiting? I called Emma/INFOPASS and we’re still at the Texas center where we’ve apparently always been. The agent said, if I’d like, I can file an appeal next summer. We’re an older couple and our time together is limited enough as it is. This is such a heartbreaking process.

Estimated time is a made up number. Could be shorter or longer wait.
