accuracy of TrackMyVisaNow at this time for I-129f?

[thakattack159 0]

I am hearing how i-129f petition processing times have improved to around 6 months. My TrackMyVisaNow shows an estimate December 2025 (I submitted in Nov 2024). I was hoping for around 6 months!

with the upcoming administration change USCIS has slowed down signifcantly

but stuff like trackmyvisanow usually over estimate processing times, so its not 100% accurate

 

the immigration process is long, so have patience

MyProgress estimates are known to be largely inaccurate. Don't rely on them. Today it can show 12 months, tomorrow 3 days and the day after - 4 months.

At the same time, I concur with @MalloryCat, cases may take longer in 2025 than they took in 2024.

Whilst there are mixed responses in the past on trackmyvisanow - my personal experience was that it was inaccurate..

 

The most appropriate advice and thing to keep in mind is that all of these website and services to track are essentially using data to make an estimation - when USCIS is historically known for being an unpredictable organisation in terms of their processing behaviours. So trying to predict when a case will be approved is going to have its limits when the organisation itself is so unpredictable; USCIS skips weeks, jumps back, speeds up, slows down - all on a regular basis. 

 

Best thing to do is to try and focus on work or hobbies, and take the tracking methods with a grain of salt.

 

We've all been there, the wait is awful. But it'll all be worth it in the end!

country is India so expect longer for the actual interview, and  embassy to do the additional security checks for u to see approved or denied / what you are seeing now is  estimate of a petition approval only .   This   is only the 1st step

 

It will be a it slower are this time for the holidays are coming and staff in several offices are often told to use their vacation time

"use or loose it "  as businesses and some government offices to now row vacation time over like they use to 

 

Federal holidays that will affect your processing time

 

Christmas Day off

New Year's day off

Martin Luther King birthday off (jan 20th)

Washington's birthday off (Feb 17th

 

 

While u wait do your 2024 tax returns as soon as you can so you have the IRS transcripts for interview

 

Quit counting the days and keep yourself busy
