There's definitely some progress! December 2024 filers stats as of 03/03/2025 @ 12:50 PM ET: Approved: 875 Denied: 8 Fingerprints Scheduled: 451 Interview Cancelled: 92 Interview Scheduled: 8764 Pending: 4 Processing: 17372 Received: 22 ResponseToRFE: 8 RFE: 90 Terminated: 2 Withdrawal: 16 OathCeremonyNotice: 396 OathCeremonyScheduled: 433 OathCeremonyReady: 1

There's always a minority of cases who get approved blazing fast.

NOA issued in November is a sign of November filer IMHO

Overseas I-130 cases take about 17 months

Is she filing taxes jointly with her parents?

It's not the case since April 2024 They will keep it. You need to ask civil surgeon for a copy when you go to exam.

Just need to be patient. Only 30% of December 2024 filers got interviews already

As @Ontarkie mentioned, perhaps consulate isn't happy with what you submitted

Yes, this is correct for I-485 form. Check the box to issue card, this will save you trip to SSA. If I-765 approved, restricted card will be sent. Then when I-485 is approved, unrestricted card will be sent.

How and who flagged you?

The processing times would look much worse if cases were processed strictly based on first in first out basis. Plus some cases are genuinely easier, especially if under general provision, especially if no pending I-751, no criminal history, no divorces or children, and safe country of origin.

AOS after K-1 takes a year or so to process. I-129F can expire, but I-130 shouldn't.

MyProgress estimate can be safely ignored. Check documents tab to see if biometrics was reused. Good luck!

No delay will occur if you upload extra evidence. Nobody is looking at your file right now

You mean MyProgress? it's unreliable

Yep

1. Every entry is CBP officer discretion. 2. Why not just marry and do CR-1? 3. Canada is slower in the last several years 4. Can't comment 5. No. All K-1s are processed at same service center regardless of location in the US.

Did he provide proof of US citizenship?

Yep, for a process that takes months, whether you get access code today or next week isn't going to change much. Biometrics should be 2-3 weeks away.

Thank you, I will update VJ with my experience once it's over!

I filed in late 2024 (December 2024). I got lucky to get interview date already. Many November 2024 (about 50%) and December 2024 (about 70%) filers are still waiting for the interview.

If a question can be answered with "yes" or "no", say "yes" or "no". If a question asks about details, give straight answer. Examples... Good - Do you live in San Diego? - Yes - How did you meet your spouse? - At work Bad - Do you live in San Diego? - Yes, I live at 345 Main St, for the past 3 years. I also have my brother living with me. - How did you meet your spouse? - Me met at CoolStuff incorporated while working there in 2017. At first, me and Maria worked on same project. But one time, after company party I asked her out and we started dating. If officer needs details, they'll ask more questions. Don't try guessing why they're asking what they're asking. Let them lead the interview.

Any unauthorized work is forgiven for a spouse of a US citizen as long as it's disclosed. 5 year ban is a separate matter.
