So you are one of the people on here who went to the interview right before your two year wedding anniversary?

Does CBP tend to forget to endorse people's visas? And what happens if they don't endorse it?

Thank you for that advice. I took a screenshot of it for the hubby so that he will know what to try to do at the airport if they issue it as a CR-1. How much of a pain is it to have to get USCIS to re-issue it as a 10 year if they screw up?

Thank you everyone! Yeah I thought the paralegal was wrong too as I saw a post in the past about someone interviewing right before their anniversary date but not entering the country until after it and getting a 10 year.

Thank you! The paralegal assigned to my case at my attorney's office told me that you have to be married 2 years at the time of the interview. As a result, we have waited since we got approved in March to submit all the documents. We are going to to be at the Frankfurt consulate.

Forgive me if this has been asked before but how long does it take NVC to issue your interview date after you have been DQ'd? My husband and I are about 3 months shy of our 2 year wedding anniversary so we are trying to time things out perfectly so that his interview date falls the week after our anniversary.

Mine said "your case is taking longer than expected "

Congratulations! I'm so happy for everyone!!! I literally just recieved the notification from USCIS saying they submitted our petition to the Department of State! It's all uphill from here! Happy days ahead!

Congratulations!!!! It is nice to see all of us early December filers getting approved within days from each other!

Did you just get yours too?

I'm not sure. From what I have seen from other timelines, there isn't a long wait at the Consulate in Frankfurt. We are currently about 5 1/2 months shy of our 2nd wedding anniversary so we are going to drag it out to make sure he gets his 10 year green card. Being that USCIS took so long, it is pointless at this point to rush through the rest of the process to only get a 2 year one. I don't want to deal with USCIS again until it is time for him to become a Citizen.

Thank you!!! Yours will happen too within the next few days😁

After further digging on myuscis, I found the approval notice!!!! I am so happy to be past this stage of the process. It took 15 1/2 months. PD: DECEMBER 07, 2023 APPROVAL:MARCH 21, 2025 POTOMAC SERVICE CENTER

I literally just recieved a text message from USCIS within the past 10 minutes stating that USCIS has taken action on my case. Went into my USCIS account and it says they are actively reviewing my case and that no further information is needed at this time. It is dated for March 21, 2025. It doesn't say anything other than that. Is that my NOA2?

I hope so! Visa Journey sent me my latest approval estimate and said SEPTEMBER 22, 2025. #######?

Thank you!!! Me too!

I know that the current overall processing time is 16.5 months but each service center is not processing petitions at the same pace as others. I haven't been seeing any I-130s being approved out of Potomac while I am seeing petitions submitted the exact same date as mine or later being approved at other service centers. Potomac is part of Washington DC so it's making me wonder if Potomac is actually working on their case loads since a lot of federal employees there are throwing a fit about having to return back to the office instead of being allowed to work from home anymore. This has me concerned that my I-130 is going to be part of the 20% that isn't completed in 16.5 months. We have been on top of all immigration matters from the day we filed. All vaccines have been completed except for the seasonal flu and covid, neither of which will probably be required at the time we are DQ'd. Our attorney has both our address history's, copies if my divorce certificates, copies of his passport, etc. We will blaze through the NVC stage of it all. Lol I'm kinda OCD about stuff like that.

Potomac-the slowest service center there is. And thank you!

Hello everyone! My pending I-130 for my immigrant husband has officially hit the 15th month mark as of a couple of days ago. I have seen others with the same PD as myself get their approvals on here in the past couple of days but their cases were at different service centers. I am trying to get a better picture as to where Potomac is currently at on their I-130 processing. The last time I heard anything was back on August 28th, 2024 and they were currently processing May 14, 2023 I-130's.

Congratulations!!!! Your PD is the same as mine. What service center were you at?

Your PD date is 2 days after mine. Our time is coming soon! My husband comes is coming to visit me next week and is staying for 6 weeks. We are hoping to get his approval while he is here visiting.

We DEFINITELY deserve some questions answered. We played by the rules, paid the fees and are the ones helping pay their ridiculous salaries. There needs to be some accountability.

My Senator's office seemed to be unaware of what is going on at USCIS and how long it is taking them. They thanked me for bringing the issue to their attention. I think that everyone needs to contact their Senator about the current processing times. Things won't change til people start speaking up and bringing it to the attention of their elected officials. And I would not hold my breath with the new acting director of USCIS. She was the assistant director under the last administration and she wasn't nominated for the position. She basically got the position by default. The Judiciary House Committee ripped the former director apart back in December over her management of USCIS. That's probably why she's out.

April 7th would be exactly 16 months for me. I contacted my Senator's office last week expressing my dissatisfaction with how long USCIS currently takes so I've been wondering if maybe something came from that as my attorney's office said that tends to cause USCIS to act.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I just checked my account again and a little over 24 hours later, it is now saying "4 weeks". I'm just grasping at any little sign of hope there is at this point.
