so there will be no interviw they gonna give visa right?

@Joban preet yeah this means that they will be give visa without interview

thats really good hopefully we will hear some good news in new years

Patience is key. If your petitioner is a RESIDENT it’ll take longer than if they were a CITIZEN. I waited about 2.5 years JUST to receive an approval notice. I sent my RFE (Request for Evidence) about three months ago and barely recieved my biometrics letter in the mail for this upcoming January. It’ll be almost 3 years from the date I first applied. I hear it’s taking 3-5 years for the full process.

@dee gomez i guess we have patience too

Don’t sweat it, before you know it - you’ll be receiving letters! I hope nothing but the best for you :))))

thanks you dear i hope everybody have very good new year and all the casea have approved

You were probably transferred to a different service center that has a longer processing time. Go online to USCIS website. Use the “Ask Emma” and type to speak to a Live agent. Then choose technical difficulties, enter your USCIS info and it should connect you to a live agent. You can ask which service center is your case currently located and what the processing times are. Also, file a K3 to help speed up the process. it’s free and it helped our CR1 to get approved in 4 1/2 months.

thanks kimmy i will try that

@D Gee my RFE status is 17% and approved is 100% what i do?

You’re welcome, Joban. Good luck!

hey Ali, we have the same time line, processing center and status. the only difference was I had an RFE in august and I replied in October. immediately I replied, it changed back to “…we are actively reviewing your form…”. I don’t think they transferred the case anywhere because once the status is on actively reviewing, then just start expecting a response- either an RFE or approval. that’s what I think and I’m waiting for. all the best man

That means you are going to get a RFE notice in the mail. They just want you to provide a little more evidence as to your reasoning. Thats good news!! :)

Also, I forgot to mention all my notices have different receipt numbers. My first notice still says “being actively reviewed”, however my biometrics notice is a different receipt number and that one shows the updated status of my case. Look closely at all your receipt numbers on every notice you receive.

@Haider where did you get that info that uscis open visa and cancel interview visas Jan 1st 2022?

@D Gee thanks ❤️

@Blessed Awuah go to us travel.com but this news is for nonimmigrant visas

Almost everyone I know had their case changed from Nebraska to a different service center and you do not get a notice. The only way to find out is to contact Ask Emma as I stated before and ask for a Live agent. The agent can tell you where your case is located and how long the processing times are at that service center. I still think filing a K3 helps speed things along. I was approved in 4 1/2 months. my case went from Nebraska SC to Texas SC.

I was told by my lawyer they send your case to the center that has jurisdiction over you as arriving alien
