frustrated again….
I posted this message at the end of July, and guess what. the same thing JUST happened to me for the second time, exactly the same way, last night. yesterday my progress said “two weeks” and then last night it jumped back to “two months.”. I just wish I knew what was actually going on.
I'm at a point of sheer frustration, exhaustion, and confusion. When I first filed the I-130 in March 2024 for my husband, my timeline was four weeks. then it changed to six months. September came and went. then it changed to "taking longer than normal but still within processing time" until last month. then it was finally updated to 4 weeks. every week since then it dropped to 3 weeks, 2 weeks. I'm entering my final week and checked this morning, and it was updated to two months. I'm practically in tears from the lack of understanding. people are being approved who applied way after me. I'm tired of having "hope" and reading about "trusting God." these processes are broken and not logical and no amount of hope or faith can justify or appease this lack of logic. #frustrated

I am same March 2024,it was at 4 months and I just checked and noticed I have an API update yesterday then I checked the progress tab and it is at 9 months. I don’t think about the progress tab at all and don’t want to worry again.

Firstly, I am so sorry your case is delayed. please don’t worry about the my progress tab. I am also a March 2024 filer, and when we were approved it still showed 11 months waiting time.

I would definitely ignore the progress tab. Mine was showing 14 months and i485 was showing 33months and my interview will be in a few weeks. I applied feb2025. Hang in there, since you applied 2024 there's a slight chance you may or may not even need an interview and will just get approved. But still do what you can to follow up because yes the system is indeed broken.

same here and they’re approving cases filed in 2025 and from what I know 2024 came in before 2025 unless I can’t read… totally feel your pain am in it too

stop looking at the processing time when it’s ur turn they will adjudicate ur case processing time don’t mean nothing it’s just a window period when ur case might be approved .

yes progress tab , doesn’t really matter,, ead did same , jumped to long extra I can’t remember but it was approved much less than they mentioned, same to 485 and 130 .. you might just ignore it,, it will come

the USCIS estimates time means nothing

the progress tab is notoriously inaccurate. it will fluctuate the entire time you wait and even after your case is done, it will still be showing a wait time. ignore it.
