Case Takes Longer Than Expected
Hi guys!
I just joined the app as I’m getting (slightly?) desperate. We filed I-130 in August 2022 and we still haven’t received anything. The timeline on USCIS just says « Your Case Is Taking Longer Than Expected ». Our case is being processed at the California Service Center. Anyone in the same situation with a similar timeline? Thanks!

is your case “being actively reviewed?”
August 12 2022Nov 18, 2023
I think they’re working on it.

Our case had taken about this long so we reached out & did an inquiry. After we did the inquiry, our i130 was approved in less than 30 days. . maybe that’s something you can look into

@Lucas K I’m in the same shoes, since sept 2022- case is taking longer to 5 months. It says I can’t make inquiry until 2024 or so.

@Sara Faella Simon no my case is still with this message since April 2023. The wait is killing me!
Lucas KNov 19, 2023
@August 12 2022 I really hope so! Also thank you for your post regarding gathering the documents for the NVC part of the process. We appreciate it!
Lucas KNov 19, 2023
@Ada M Oh really? How did you do this? I’ve been chatting with Emma who connected to a live agent, but all they say is that it’s taking a bit longer but still normal, so I don’t know what to do next. Any recommendations?
Lucas KNov 19, 2023
@Darnell Wellington I’m so sorry your case is also taking longer. Do you know which Service Center is processing your case? Yes same, we can’t make an inquiry until February 2024 based on the USCIS website’s indication so it just feels like we sit and wait…
Lucas KNov 19, 2023
@Martins Chima we already contacted their office and they sent an email on our behalf but they received a similar answer as us (« it’s long but normal ») so I don’t know if there’s much more they can do
Mr MCCNov 20, 2023
ok. the petitioner should keep bugging then on calls over the issues and they will attained to the case fast
July 2022Nov 20, 2023
same here. waiting from July 2022
Ada MNov 22, 2023
@Lucas K Yeah I went through Emma also. If that happens try a different rep.. we did it for 3 days straight
Lucas KNov 23, 2023
@July 2022 stay strong!! Do you know which Service Center is working on your case?
Lucas KNov 23, 2023
