Almost 400 days since last update...this is normal right?!

USC submitted for foreign spouse and minor child 20th September 2023, active reviewing since 28th September 2023, consular processing from the UK. Just getting antsy at the lack of updates but I get the idea that this is normal. I guess I just need some reassurance it'll have some movement soon? Nebraska service centre.

You've put this in the DCF section but I assume it's not a DCF case?

 

If not, then yes, this is perfectly normal. Officially processing times are currently at 15.5 months (https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/), but about 14 months seems to be the norm at the moment, so hopefully you'll get approval next month.

 

Good luck.

Sorry, what is DCF?

Direct Consular Filing. Which would usually be much quicker.

 

So if you are doing that, then yes, 400 days would be unusual. But if you're not (and I assume not from what you've said), then you're still well within normal processing times.

Thank you for clarifying. I dont believe we met the criteria for DCF which is why we filed online

Yes, it was just that you've posted this in the DCF section, which is why I checked.

 

But no worries. Good luck.

Oh I'm sorry! I don't use this site much so my mistake. Thanks for answering though.

Yes. It's normal.  I am a December 23 filer, with an active review since January 9th.  All they did was move your case into the line. And the line is longggg....
