I-130 Inquiry
Hey guys! Following are the details for my I-130: I-130 (F4 / Sibling) from Pakistan Priority Date: June 20, 2012 (Originally California Service Center, Moved to ELIS in 2024) I noticed Visa bulletin getting a little fast, and the date passing my priority date, which I'm aware doesn't matter as much in my case since it hasn't been approved/denied I just wanted to see if anyone here in a similar position has been approved or denied yet or has received any updates? Should I be worried or just wait? Thank you for the response in advance

​Title: I-130 Inquiry (F4 Category - Priority Date July 2011) ​Hey guys! ​I'm following up on my I-130 petition under the F4 category (Sibling of a U.S. citizen). My details are below: ​Category: I-130 (F4 / Sibling) ​Priority Date: July 2011 ​Case Status: Currently stuck / pending with USCIS (Receipt number starts with IOE), and has not been approved or denied yet. ​I've noticed that according to the Visa Bulletin, the priority date for July 2011 has become current, but my petition is still pending approval at USCIS. ​Is anyone else with a 2011 Priority Date in the same situation? Have you received any approvals, updates, or submit an official service request/e-Inquiry to USCIS? ​Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your responses!

@God first ### So, could it be said that it takes approximately 3 years in ELIS for the form to be approved?"

Why is my F4 case registered on Track My Visa? According to their calculations, this phase takes 32 months, which matches the processing time of your case. Thank you very much, sir.
