US Immigration from Philippines

Silly question...we are preparing our i-751 & looking at the current processing times...it is roughly 26-29 months. What happens to the green card holder during that time? The green card will expire before the end of the current projected processing times...are they still legal to stay in the country? Do they receive some type of temporary card while the i-751 is being processed?

Thanks!

We are still very early in the CR-1/I-130 process. We had our case accepted a little over a month ago and at this point we are simply waiting for status updates. My question is: given that there are no requirements for additional or missing information, when should we expect to get our next status update? I know that the process is long and unpredictable, but on average how soon do you get progress updates on average when everything is going at a normal pace?

Good day VJ,

Our childrens ROC was filed and this is their timeline:

10/24/25 - Mailed(UPS), Elgin,IL

10/27/25- Received

11/01/25 - Notice of Applicant ( NO Biometrics) & Extension Letter (48mos)

sent.

*mail not in hand yet.

All 3 (kids) age 12, 10, 9 has the same status and right now no update and Im waiting for the mail. At the bottom of their paper says "SCOPS TEXAS FACILITY" while mine is just "Texas" as Service Center, what is the differrence? the processing time?

Thank you.

The petition you have filed does not allow derivative status for family members. This means that any spouse, unmarried child under age 21, or parent will require his or her own petition to immigrate

I have filed for cr1 for my wife and my child is already a US citizen, not sure what they are referring to. Any help would be appreciated

I checked my nvc tracker and it was issued but yesterday it changed to ready. I dont know what it means and Im getting anxious. I tried to call the hotline of usem manila but they wont give me any direct answer but just to wait. They also wont give me any extension number to the usem to properly address my queries. Im getting depressed because the other I know of already got their visas.
