we sent RFE documents back in February 2022 and it says that “they WILL review” does this mean they haven’t even started the review process and does anyone know what I can do to expedite the process. I don’t have any expedite circumstances that they have on their site but it’s been 2+ years and our travel document is about to expire ! TIA

@lili e I filed 130 before 145. does that take longer?

lili eMay 3, 2023
@adi hough I don’t know. I just applied for my mom last week. I wanted to know if I should file them together

@adi hough how long does it take to get your i130 approved?
a
adi houghMay 3, 2023
yes I think you should file them together. from what I’ve seen online with other ppl it seems to be faster if applied concurrently @lili e

@adi hough okay thanks. My only concern is that if I 130 get denied the i485 money is lost
a
adi houghMay 4, 2023
I don’t think they deny unless there’s something major wrong with the app. @lili e

I 130 got denied after 1 year of waiting because they said the translation was not certified
