Case Processing
recomendaciones I130
Buenas tardes
les comparto un poco de mi historia
mi caso como verán es un i130 F2A con PD de jun 2024 proceso consular, según USCIS mi caso está en california (uno de los más cargados con trabajo) (hace apenas unos días me llegó una actualización, uscis está trabajando en mi caso) es algo muchos siguen en caso recibido o algo así.
en fin el tiempo de espera es demasiado y sinceramente estoy planeando dejarlo a un lado (anularlo) una vez se cumplan los 3 años (jun2027) es demasiado desgastante llevar una relación a distancia por ya cerca de 3 años, realmente las estimaciones eran de 2 años la aprobación y el resto el proceso consular en el país de origen pero como van las cosas se proyecta hasta 6 años (a más ) entonces merecen pasar por esto solo por salir de país? y eso que es de manera legal, dando pie a que la ilegalidad se mantenga quién va querer entrar de manera legar esperando cerca a 10 años cuando de ilegal entras en menos de 1 mes tiene sus riesgos claro pero logras más y encima te pagan el vuelo de regreso que irónico, Personalmente me casé con mi esposa la cual la conozco hace más de 10 años pasamos por todas las etapas de amigos enamorados novios, pero verse 15 días al año ( las vacaciones en ese país son de 7 días y el resto son fechas que vas guardando) sumado a que no te dan la visa de turista por miedo a que te quedes de ilegal cuando estás por el camino legal (?) una fumada ilógica, es DEMASIADO desgastante y más cuando somos jóvenes mi esposa y yo tenemos menos de 30 años ambos somos profesionales en nuestro país la idea era emigrar y crecer como pareja y profesionalmente pero nos chocamos con el muro de la burocracia yankee donde premia a los ilegales y hace sufrir a los legales.
gracias por su atención espero que puedan cumplir su sueño de llegar a estados unidos y reencontrarse con sus seres queridos.

(SIJ)Final action date current since april 2026) whole process take me 7 years and still not done yet..
USCIS issued a Request for Evidence (RFE) on September 16, 2026, requesting the new edition of Form I-485.
The deadline to respond is October 16, 2026(30 days)..(USCIS New York city field office)
I sent the completed package new edition of Form I-485 and my medical report to USCIS by FedEx on September/23/2026 by priority mail.
my package was delivered on September 24, 2026.
However, as of today, USCIS system has not been updated to show that they received my RFE response.
I am very worried because I want to make sure USCIS received my documents before deadline and will continue processing my case before the deadline.🥺😢
(how long take the process and anyone received RFE from new york city field office)?

Has anyone filed a WOM for a delayed I-485 recently?
Has anyone filed a Writ of Mandamus (WOM) for a delayed I-485 recently?
My attorney recently told me that in two of the WOM cases he filed, government attorneys are preparing to file Motions to Dismiss, arguing that the applicants haven’t waited long enough for their I-485 applications to be considered unreasonably delayed.
I filed my own WOM in September, so I’m pretty worried about this.
Has anyone else experienced something similar recently? Did the government attorney try to dismiss your case? If so, what happened afterward?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks!
