I-130 Approval FINALLY
I still can’t quite believe it! 🙏🏻✨ USCIS Approval TODAY after 375 days! 🥂 Submitted I-130: March 12th 2022 Active Review: March 12th 2022 K-3 Submitted: May 4th 2022 K-3 Received: May 9th 2022 • 375 days later • K-3 Denied: March 21st 2023 I-130 Approved: March 22nd 2023 Our case was initially received at Nebraska Service Centre. We found out in January of this year that we had actually been transferred to California Service Centre, but we weren’t told at what point that was. I don’t believe filing the K-3 helped us at all, as we had such a long wait time! I cannot believe it. We’ve been waiting for sooooo long. My husband is the US Citizen, and I am the beneficiary from the UK. We filed on our own, no lawyer or anything…we waited and waited and waited! It was tough, but it feels amazing to finally have this tick in the box!! ☑️ So, onto NVC next! Any tips/advice are extremely welcome as we have no idea what happens next! 🙏🏻 This process is definitely on the extreme side, and I’m sending so many good vibes to those still waiting. I really began to doubt as the months kept passing by and hearing nothing 👎🏻 it’s not fun, and I feel your pain. But for now, I can finally say that we are one step closer ♥️

Thank you! We did not expedite! And we filed the I-130 and the I-130A in the US while I was there visiting. We collated our evidence submitted that also. I haven’t directly filed anything from the U.K. yet, as that’s all that was required from the first stage!

Oh that’s so good to hear Lauren! 😊thank you so much, and congratulations to you too! It’s been a crazy journey. We submitted our documents to NVC and got approved from there after only 13 days! I now have my interview date - crazy that one part took so long and the next was so quick!
