Approval! 503 Days
Hi community. I first want to thank everyone in this forum for helping us navigate this process. it has been a very long wait to get here and it was not easy but reading the stories and the experiences and knowledge of others has made it more bearable.
I am a US citizen and I have a wife & stepson that are immigrating to the US from Costa Rica.
We applied with the I-130 form in September of 2023 and we received our approval in February 2025. We received an RFIE in January of 2025 but we responded with the documents they requested and were approved not long after.
We are beyond over joyed although we know there is still time to wait and work to be done before we can finally be together. One step closer feels very good. If you are waiting I pray you will get your answer soon as well.
Our documents were sent to the NVC so we will wait for them them to contact us. Our case was reviewed by the California Service Center.
