I-130 Approved!
Receieved an email yesterday, May 6th, that action was taken on my case. At first it just said actively being reviewed again and a little later the approval was in the documents tab. I just wanted to share the timeline to give others hope. I hope you all get your approvals soon too ๐Ÿ™

did you see it just now as you logged in ? @Hamza Zahadi
Mac Roy AwahMay 7, 2024
what about your I-485 is it under actively reviewed?
Hamza ZahadiMay 7, 2024
@Mac Roy Awah I saw it like 24 hours ago, they emailed me saying action was taken. Also, no I-485. Iโ€™m a US citizen, I filed for my wife who is outside the US.

Thank you all for the congratulations! Anyone whose still waiting, stay strong! The wait sucks, but sooner or later itโ€™ll be over.
One Together May 7, 2024
congratulations. I filed a week after you so hopefully Iโ€™m close ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™
Jane VotoMay 7, 2024
did you have to get your state representative involved to get it approved fast? or did yโ€™all just waited?
Hamza ZahadiMay 7, 2024
@Jane Voto I tried that but it didnโ€™t do much in my experience. Contacted my representative, filled out the form, she contacted USCIS, they told her it takes 12-14 months, she relayed it back to me and that was that.

Yayyy! Same here. Yesterday May 6, I also got a second notice "Case is being actively reviewed by USCIS," dated today May 7. When I logged into USCIS and looked in my Documents tab, I saw "I-130 Approval.pdf" dated today, May 7! In it, it says "The above petition has been approved." So though my official status still says "Case is being actively reviewed by USCIS," I expect it to change today to "Case Approved"! My wife and I are overjoyed!!!

congrats!!๐Ÿฅณdid you file k3?
Jeremy BoisvertMay 7, 2024
that was actually really quick. congrats
Hamza ZahadiMay 8, 2024
@Melissa Lorgen I did file a K3 but it went nowhere. Even now it only says โ€œcase received.โ€ I heard they rarely give them out and extremely slow processing times right now.
Melissa LorgenMay 8, 2024
@Hamza Zahadi thatโ€™s good you were lucky then !!๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ
Hamza ZahadiMay 9, 2024
@T A February was when I contacted my representative. The other questions, all the information is there on the timeline I shared.
Hamza ZahadiMay 9, 2024
@Mrs Ans stay strong ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ its hard I know. I donโ€™t know why I got lucky but you all deserve to be with your loved ones. Soon ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™. Keep faith and youโ€™ll wake up to an email like I did and be so relieved.
Hamza ZahadiMay 9, 2024
@Irfan Gill shukriya, intezaar karna bohat mushkal hai. But donโ€™t worry, my prayers are with you ๐Ÿ™. Stay strong and sooner or later, youโ€™ll get your approval too. 200 days drove me crazy so I canโ€™t imagine how you feel, but inshallah your approval is soon.
Hamza ZahadiMay 10, 2024
@Mrs Ans my congressperson is who I mean by representative. See my comment above, in response to Jane Voto, for the details.
