USC who lived in Manabí, Ecuador with hubby from 2009 - 2013. Hubby became a naturalized American citizen in August 2016. Currently living together in northern Virginia.

This is just for IR-1/CR-1 filers, so they won't need to do the Adjustment of Status process. Thanks, though. good.gif

If you live together abroad with your husband, that's where it almost always goes, and it's usually faster.

Good luck!

All I-130s filed after August 2012 get sent to NBC. Unless both the beneficiary and the USC are living abroad (in which case it would stay at NBC for processing), your case should get sent to your local field office after a month or two. good.gif So you're good for now!
