Finally made it! We got our approval today!

 

PD 11 December 2023.

Approved 24 March 2025.

Texas Service Center.

 

I cannot even express in words how relieved we are! 

 

Hang in there December filers, yours is right around the corner!

 

P.S. For what it's worth, I got an email to say an action had been taken, but Lawfully still hasn't updated. It currently suggests I'm 143rd in a queue of 332 awaiting a case decision. I signed into USCIS and sure enough, in the Documents tab is my approval document (dated today).

Congrats! Let me guess, MyProgress on USCIS showing something like "3 months to decision" ?

Yes. They should contact you within a week or 2 with details and login information

I gave up on Lawfully months ago.  I actually only use it for the community.

LOL. 7 months! 

 

Lawfully still hasn't updated. Glad looking at that app and waiting is now behind me.

 

But of course, sudden realisation that the NVC stage is now up! Exciting though!

NVC seems to be speeding along following our I-130 approval.  

 

I've already received the Case Creation email with our access details for CEAC, and I submitted both payments this morning. 

 

It is honestly such a relief that we now have more frequent updates and much shorter waits. Hopefully that continues through to interview and getting our passport back!

It will do if you’re in the UK - London is one of the quickest consulates out there. But other consulates have a 2+ year wait for an interview. 
 

NVC processing times are updated weekly here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html

 

Good luck.
