Now that USCIS has moved on to April 2024 filers, what will happen to all the March i130 spouse filers that has not been approved yet? Will they go back and approve or will we wait longer than the 17th month processing time? I'm 3/11/24 filer. thank you all.

My wife is a U.S. citizen, and I am a U.K. citizen. We have been married for four years (married in the U.K.) and have a two-year-old child together. Due to a recent and urgent family matter, my mother-in-law has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, we are planning to relocate to the United States as soon as possible to be closer to her.

My wife has recently received a job offer in the U.S., and we were hoping to explore the possibility of filing through the Direct Consular Filing (DCF) process with the U.S. Embassy in London, given the circumstances. However, we've had difficulty finding clear guidance on the eligibility and steps for filing. When we contacted the embassy, we were referred to USCIS but were unsure of how to proceed specifically with DCF from the U.K.

We would greatly appreciate any guidance or assistance you can provide on whether DCF is an option for us and how we might begin the process if so.

Hi! I 'm from Peru and my wife is from The USA, we received the confirmation of the DS-130 been approved, we are waiting for NVC received, we read that it takes within 1 week to get the consular case number and then complete DS-260. We are wondering. What is the nearest day we can schedule the appointment for the interview after getting the Interview appointment letter? or how much time they give us approximately until the interview appointment date? Someone could give us information to this, please.

Just wondering if any one here kmow how the processing work for form 1 600 . How long it takes after fingerprints to receive receipt number that will enable daily checking on the status. It has been 3 weeks after fingerprints no reply from USCIS. Just worried.

Good afternoon all,

I have been DQ'd since 16th April this year, long story very short I was able to file an expedite request on urgent business grounds and this has since been approved by the NVC and then subsequently the US Embassy in London. I was notified on 25th June that my application has been fully transferred to the London Embassy and my case status on CEAC as of the 27th June now shows as "Ready" (there now also appears to be an 01-04 on there which I assume is my wife and childrens applications).

Now, the question I have, has anyone else done this before, or does anyone have any indications of how long from this point might it take for an expedite request to be processed to an IL?
