So, exciting news: We are March 2024 filers (NOA1: 2024-03-08). We just received I-130 approval (NOA2) today 2024-10-03.
We also filed a K-3 application (I-129F) in early April and received an NOA1 date for I-129F of 2024-04-25. We strongly believe that having filed for the K-3 had a significant impact on our timeline when we are seeing normal processing timelines extend to 14-15 months right now. There is nothing special about our application. We were fully expecting an I-130 approval to come closer to July 2025. However, our I-130 application was approved in under 7 months total and 5-6 months from the date of filing for the K-3.
