  1. Bummer! Oh well. Not much to do but wait. "What you resist, persists." Therefore, I'm going with the flow. Well, at least trying to
  2. No change today. I googled some, and rumor has it the USCIS website updates processing times on Sundays. I have no idea if this is true; I just happen to check the status on weekends. From what I understand, I'm not alone in this boat. Many folks eventually end up with this message. All it means is the USCIS has no idea when they get to my petition. I guess it's worth checking on the status to make sure they haven't lost the application. But I may contact the Congressional office to inquire on my behalf. The kids in the call center seem completely useless.
  3. This is encouraging. They're alive! I checked my case, and the screen says "Your case is taking longer than expected to process. You do not need to take any action at this time." (I'm still thinking it's AI messing with us.)
  4. No news on my front. The processing time says 5 months. Honestly, I can't remember what it was the last time I looked. I didn't bother to call. First of all, the phones are answered by contract staff who have very little idea of what happens and why. Second, calling won't change a thing. So back to waiting. To all, please stay in touch and let us know if you get any updates. It helps to know if the USCIS is still open for business.
  5. I haven't researched it yet, but I'm sure there's plenty of info here. I guess everything to do with your relationship to the beneficiary, their civil state, your financial ability to support them. Birth, marriage, death certificates (with translations), your recent tax records etc. Their vaccination records. Stuff that doesn't expire. No need to worry about police records at this point, because they're only good for three months or so.
  6. Not me. Once I'm done with my family's situation, I'm never going to talk about this. I hate all of it. I don't mind helping others if they ask for my help, but to be honest, I don't find the process super complicated. I think it's more about commiseration and mutual support. A way to deal with frustration, because the process takes forever.
  7. From what I hear, the case sits with USCIS for about a year (probably a year and a half at this point), then things get moving relatively fast. So... no point in trying to figure this out. I plan to use this time to work on document translation etc.
  8. Same here. I filed an I-130 for a parent in October 2022. The estimated date was stuck on 5 months for a while, then moved to 4 months, then back to 7 months. Not sure what this means, some algorithm somewhere being funny. This sucks.
