After 832 days since filing the 130 and 630 days since we switched from consular to adjustment and the 130 was approved yesterday and 485 today without an interview.. on my wife’s birthday! It took much longer than we wanted but oh well. We’ve been married 2.5 years so here’s to skipping removing conditions !

Zero. In person was where we focused our attention.

Then it will take longer. She’s their step mother so I would think your relationship would last long enough to petition them? Longer one would hope.

as I told you on the other forum each kid will need a 130.

Yep I used TD then and still do now. They had no issues adding her.

My wife is Canadian and I am a UsC. We used to meet every few weeks at a border town for a weekend. In between our days were much like yours as we spent them on video chat nearly 20 hours a day on days I didn’t work. So for us the meeting every few weeks at a border town ( 7 hours for me 6 for her to drive to meet) was important. It allowed us more time together in the real world plus lots of evidence of a relationship. The more time together the better and we had pics in various locations together plus the border crossings. Aside from all that we made each other beneficiary for life insurance, I added her to my lease and as an authorized user on my CC and added her to my bank account. All before she was here and had a SSN.

Is there a question in that? 130s typically take around a year.

Ours has more than once. Waiting since aug 2022. It’s happened a few times. Our latest went from 3months to 11 after it disappeared for a day.

Myprogress is wildly inaccurate. It goes up down zeros out then starts again. We’ve been at this since August 2022 and ours have been at 12 months 1 week taking longer than expected 4 months 1 week taking longer repeat. There’s zero rhyme or reason to it so it’s best to just ignore it.

I filed 2/22/2023 and we’ve gotten EAD and AP but nothing else. The 130 and 485 are both at NBC. They’ve both gone into ‘active review’ twice in the last month but no status change.

My spouse received her EAD 5 months post biometrics last year and her AP 9 months post biometrics.

We got an RFE for medical in April last year. Submitted it and crickets since. It sadly happens.

Also married to a Canadian and doing AOS. We filed ours in Feb 2023. Responded to RFE in April 2023 and nothing since on the 485.

I was able to add my spouse without a ssn but she was living here during her adjustment phase. I inquired prior to her coming and was told no until she lived here.

Yes. Most of us that have the tab have experienced this. Mine has gone up down zeroed out gone to taking longer than back up To many months.
