DQ on November 17th waiting for Interview Letter

PD -12/10/2022 approved on November 1st 2023 Potomac service center now waiting for NVC email

Processing time is by case by case basis. It’s good it shows only 3 months for you however do not get too excited because most of the times it’s not accurate that’s what I have seen on lots of people cases, after 3 months high chance of showing “it’s taking longer than expected” hope yours will be approved within this time frame. Also you might want to check with USCIS live agent regarding your case to find out which service center has your your case currently. Hope it stays at Nebraska!!

You were almost lucky haha, it was in Nebraska and with K3 it would have processed within 4-6 months in Nebraska SC , I have been doing so much research and saw very quick approvals from Nebraska with K3 and also on USCIS website processing times for K3 at Nebraska shows 4 months however Vermont I think is more than I-130 processing times. Mine is at Potomac and it’s the slowest and seems like Potomac does process in chronological order so no hope at all however lately I have seen some very few quick approvals(6-7 months) at Vermont SC for those who have filed K3 so there is some hope for you, otherwise Vermont processing time is worst of all SC. They have committed to improve for quicker decisions for FY2023 and new goal is to process within 6 months that’s the only hope I have otherwise we will be waiting for 1 years of just I-130 approval looking at last year trend and another 2 months at NVC and then don’t know how long wait for visa appointments at embassy so roughly 1.5-1.8 years to complete everything sadly

My case got first AR on Jan 31st filed on Dec 10 not sure if it’s good sign I know first AR doesn’t mean anything

Depends on service center, if your case is in Nebraska or get transferred to Nebraska then it looks like it speeds up, we have seen some on Texas also but service center like Potomac I don’t think so. Since it s free so it does not hurt to try

Yes you are right, my case was transferred to Potomac and K3 also received at Potomac. I hope they will process everything soon this year.

When did you file ? Was for spouse or parents ? USC or LPR and did you file K3?

Has there been any update online regarding email you received? I got same email in fact 2 emails in 2 days in a row but no update yet.

I filed on December 10 2022 online for spouse living abroad. PD-12/10/2022 NOA1- same date US citizen filing spouse K3 filed/mailed on 12/12/2022 no received notice yet. Received email on 12/13/2022 saying “we have taken action on your case” no status update as of yet. Again received another email next day saying same thing no status update as well as nothing on documents tab except Notice pdf which was there since the file date 12/10/2022. anyone received similar email ?
