**"Why does the asylum officer keep the original passport and documents during the interview? At my asylum interview in Massachusetts, the officer kept my original passport and supporting documents. Has anyone else experienced this? Does keeping the passport mean a denial? I would really appreciate any guidance or shared experiences. Thank you!"**

Not received any update on my I-130 filling yet
Hi everyone,
I filed an I-130 petition for my parents (as a U.S. citizen) and it’s been almost 13 months now. So far, I’ve only received the receipt notices and no updates about whether the case has been approved or not.
Is this normal? How long does it usually take to get a decision?
Would really appreciate if anyone can share their experience or advice.
Thank you!

How sad, really. I'd like to know if I filled out something incorrectly on the form. They received the evidence a while ago, exactly the month I sent it online. And it still says my case is under active review. In other words, the timeline hasn't changed at all.We have a one-year-old child, and I have a student visa. We have never had any problems with the law.
