I submitted my I-130 March 7 and got actively reviewing March 10. Still no word. Some people receive the actively reviewing status and get approved next day 🤷‍♀️ so there’s really no way of knowing what to expect in my opinion.

@Cole which service center?

my service center is Vermont

@vermont is showing 12-16 month so actively being reviewed mean nothing? all that so confusing

My I-130 case was submitted on 8 june 2015 but till now no response 😔😟😢😭

@Javed what is the status of your application? which service center ? where is the beneficiary located?

does the location of the beneficiary matter? if so how? what if my beneficiary is in the Bahamas?

i was reading through other thread , what I understand there are more one factors is considered to determine which service center the case will be processed that include beneficiary locations . I also think speed of case how quickly they can valide documentation and do their background check in a specific country.

@Tabeer My application received on 15 june 2015. Service center is California. And my beneficiaries are also located in California

@TABEER, I summited my case about the same time, I alredy did my bio app and the same day got approved the ead. It seems to go faster for people in 2022… im not sure why but yeah. the best!

@Juan was your application was for EAD only ? my application is not for Work authorization its I130.

@TABEER, mine is for AOS.

wow that's awesome, many congratulations 👏🎉
