Approved I- 130 today
Hey family, we received our approval today and so thankful for this support group πŸ™ Here's a breakdown so far. PD July 3rd 2023 Consular process - Thailand 1st review August 24th 2023 No RFE 421 DAYS TEXAS SERVICE CENTER A couple things we did to stay pro active with our application. We did add extra evidence along the way like recipes for financial support, photo of us with date on our 1 year wedding anniversary, also when our application was at 1 year. I showed them proof of my Veteran Status and it showed she is my beneficiary. Funny, our marriage is not recognized by the US because we were married in Thailand but the VA has no problem adding her. My friend wrote a beautiful letter on our behalf that I added. Finally, when I got back to the US last week August 20th, I did a live chat with an agent Last Friday thru Ask Emma and after verifying our case was in Texas, I specifically asked the agent Is our case actually being processed currently or still waiting to be looked at ? It took a few minutes to respond but she gave the generic response as usual. Monday night I noticed our timeline to complete changed 2 times from 4 months to 8 months then 5 months which frustrates everyone as you know. Then last night 10pm I received an email alert and an alert from Lawfully. I logged in and saw under documents our approval letter. Now on to step 2 and the NVC process, then waiting for her interview but we think the long wait times are behind us.. Sort of. lol I believe in being pro active, giving them a little nudge but not sure it worked. I believe in support groups like that one where we can gather information to help each other and I believe in the power of Prayer πŸ™. I look forward to hearing when you all get your approvals and able to reunite with your Loved ones giving anyone the encouragement needed to get through this journey. It's still a ways to go until she can actually step foot in the US and I look forward to updating every step.

Congratulations!! Your date is the date they are approving right now I've seen many from July 3rd being approved in different groups. So you were in the right time. I'm delayed as many others from June. I've done all you did but still nothing. But like i told you on the other post I will write the congressman, if it doesn't work it won't hurt. Although I have to do it myself on behalf of my husband because he doesn't wanna do it he thinks it's not helpful
Ivy VNAug 28, 2024
@Marcus Boeckel By the way, your 1st review was on the same day as mine August 24th. But my PD is different, June 14th.

Marcus BoeckelAug 28, 2024
@Ivy Vn It definitely is helpful to submit more evidence and show beyond any doubt you're in a real relationship. Besides, it just shows that you are organized making the USCIS rep's job easier . I believe it will happen soon for you guys, only 11 day difference

@Marcus Boeckel Like I said I uploaded all the evidence of the relationship 2 weeks ago so I dont have more now and besides it's too soon to upload more but anyway I don't have more. The only thing I can do is to write the congressman. The difference between your case and ours is 20 days from June 14th to July 3rd so it's a long time and they started approving July 6th today so they are going farther. Anyway, I know my case could be a little complicated to review for certain reason but hopefully I'll get approved soon
Ivy VNAug 28, 2024
@MUSTAFA alawad No I havent got approved yet. I feel very discouraged. I know there are cases that are delayed and that sometimes take 16 or 18 months to get approved. I didn't want that for my case, but it is what it is. I was going to ask my husband to call USCIS again but I decided to write the congressman instead.
Marcus BoeckelAug 28, 2024
@Ivy Vn You will get approved, it's coming soon. Power of prayer πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ and I will pray everyday for you guys along with everyone else on here.

congratulations! i filed June 28, 2023 as a USC with the case being processed in Texas service center. still no approval. i was so excited the last 2 weeks because i was seeing a lot of end of June approvals. and now I’m just left wondering if it’s going to be one day or 5 months until i see my approval since they’re working on July cases now.

Congrats Sir!πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰ Please did you applied for your wife as a Permanent Resident or as a US Citizen? I applied for my wife as permanent resident and later became a citizen but it’s still doesn’t change anything. I am still waiting for approval from USCIS and it been 738 days, I am totally confused and I have been contacting USCIS through Emma and costumer service but no encouraging response. I also found out that cases overseas takes longer time than cases within the US. I’m new to lawfully, as I was exploring the app, I came across your post and it gives me hope. Thank you!

Why do you think the US doesn’t recognize your marriage? The US totally recognizes marriages in a foreign country.
