Those are the ‘My Progress/Time to a Decision’ ones on your USCIS profile, which is always all over the place and never seems to bear any resemblance to reality.

 

The link above is different to that.

 

Probably went higher as people want to get apps in before the new president.

Mother was in the US 20 years ago. Overstayed her visa by about a week, but we don't have the visa information because it was lost during Hurricane Mitch. How would we put all that on the I-130? We put she has been to the US but don't any info on it.

 

Also the I-130 says we may not meet eligibity. I assume it just always says that since it isn't a smart form. Check US Citizen. Naturalization. Years ago.

 

I also assume we don't need to put her A-number since she is a US Citizen now.

And the fee increase in April, lots of people rushed to get apps in before that, so that will be part of why processing times have been steadily increasing since then too.

Have you done the I-94 online check? That should give you entry and exit dates.

 

Odd that it says you don’t meet eligibility though, what is the exact message? Just checking that you’ve definitely said she’ll be doing consular processing? As I wonder if it’s because you’ve said she’ll adjust status and she’s not in the US.

I didn't know I could submit a form for that. The website goes back only 10 years I assume an I-94 goes further.

 

It just says 'might not' probably always says that. I mistyped before. Not adjusting status outside of the country.

Yes, I-94 goes much further - had all of my exits and entries going back about 30 years when I checked. https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/search/history-search

 

Ah, might not is just a standard message I think, to inform LPR’s that they cannot petition parents. So I wouldn’t worry about that.
