Approval letter
From February 28th, 2024 to May 12th, 2025, I've checked everyday in hopes of seeing an approval. The suggested time on the my progress tab has been up and down. It changed several times before being stuck at 7 months and then being eventually approved. My advice, completely disregard the timeframe displayed under the my progress tab. It's no where near accurate. As of today, approval of a consular processing I13O takes approximately 14.5 months if filed by a U.S. citizen. Hang in there everyone. Don't loose hope. Your time is coming.

Congratulations to you. I still haven’t been approved. I received an email saying there was an update on my case, but it’s been 23 hours and nothing has changed. I don’t know what to do now.
Vanessa PMay 13, 2025
@Amy Nguyen did you check the document tab when you log in your USCIS account? I didnt receive any email or notification. I was just randomly checking when I saw the approval letter under the document tab.

@Amreen Anjum Prova are you a U.S. citizen?
Amy NguyenMay 13, 2025
@Vanessa P I checked all the documents after receiving the email, but there were no changes. I’m honestly very worried.
Vanessa PMay 13, 2025
