i130 f1 timeline
Hi everyone, My mother’s F1 petition (unmarried daughter of a U.S. citizen) was filed in November 2018, and our USCIS case status is still “Case Was Received.” Our Priority Date has already become current according to the Visa Bulletin, but USCIS still hasn’t approved the I-130. Is this normal? Has anyone experienced the same situation where the Priority Date became current before USCIS approved the petition? Based on your experience, when do you think USCIS might approve our case? Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences.

@moe jouniZ Have you tried to call or write USCIS or your lawyer to check what is going on with your case? I suspect it is not normal that your case is still not being reviewed.
Gaby Kababa 🍄Aug 10, 2026
@zafer dogan i did contact uscis and their answer was diplomatic and mentioned that they don't follow visa bulletin and i have to wait . also my attorney said thats correct .
zafer dogan Aug 11, 2026
