#IR-5 #consularprocessing #I-130
Hello everyone, cases have been processing very slow recently. However, on my uscis portal i noticed a new tab that gave me an estimated time until case decision of 2 weeks. I wish I was able to upload a picture to show, but this app doesn’t have the option to do so. Has anyone confirmed if it’s real or has anything similar like it? Please share any inquiries. Thank you.

I don’t see. How exactly to find it on USCIS website after logging in?
key 4Oct 2, 2022
the drop down box where u find the documents , case history and case status
Ro RoOct 2, 2022
Angelica, it seems it appears only in the petitioners account. are you the petitioner or beneficiary?
Revi hOct 2, 2022
Im the petitioner but I don’t see it either…
Angelica GarzaOct 2, 2022
@Ro Ro Im the petitioner on the account
Angelica GarzaOct 2, 2022
@A J it should be a tab that says processing time
Cornell TwilleyOct 2, 2022
oh boy 11 months
tas smithOct 2, 2022
I don't no if this give an idea but when my child file my i130 back in 2019 ir5 case it took 11 months I did not get no rfe no appointment nothing my case stay one receive form until they send me the approval letter in the mail
Angelica GarzaOct 2, 2022
Hello @tas smith, my pd is 10/27/2021. So far I haven’t received any request for rfe, appointment is still pending since my case is consular processing through Ciudad Juárez. My processing time for application decision shows as 2 weeks, hopefully it gets approved by then to continue with the next process.
tas smithOct 2, 2022
@Angelica I think you get approved
Cornell TwilleyOct 2, 2022
does anyone know if the time stated is from the beginning when the case was sent in or does it count down. mine says 11 months but is that 11 months from today or 11 months from the start?
Angelica GarzaOct 2, 2022
@Cornell Twilley the countdown should go backwards because my case has been waiting for 11 months and 2 days. Good luck!
tish squirewellOct 3, 2022
angelica can you tell me where on the uscis account can i find it please
Y KOct 3, 2022
This was released days ago I believe so unlikely to have any information on the trustworthiness of that estimation yet.
tish squirewellOct 3, 2022
Y K thanks
s aOct 3, 2022
we are under same category filled in November interview waived in June still waiting for approval when I inquire they said 80 percent of cases approved in 11 months that means not all of them that’s what they said
Ana ariasOct 3, 2022
I wonder if the processing status is only for the I-130? I’m looking for my processing estimated status on my I-212 to no avail.
Angelica GarzaOct 4, 2022
@Ana arias Hello, just be patient. I believe it’s a new feature that’s barely been imported on the portal.
Ana ariasOct 4, 2022
@Angelica thank you, I shall check again at a later time.
Sam BrownOct 5, 2022
@Angelica pls let us know if you actually got a decision in 2 weeks. thank you
Noor aOct 5, 2022
@angelica Yes Please 🙏🏻
Y KOct 5, 2022
@Angelica Garza Yes, please do keep us posted if you get a decision in that estimation's timeframe, we need to gather data on this estimation's trustworthiness.
E. FenixOct 5, 2022
I agree my estimate also for 130 says 3 months. so Angelica we are counting on you after 2 weeks to see how accurate it is 🙏
Angelica GarzaOct 5, 2022
@sam brown
Hello, sure I’ll update any changes
Angelica GarzaOct 5, 2022
@Y K
Absolutely, I’ve been waiting for a decision on my case for close to a year. I really hope it works
Sam BrownOct 6, 2022
thank you Angelica. you are a real MVP wohoo 🥳
Melicia StevensOct 6, 2022
@angelica my kids I-130 says the same thing, so I’m really hoping that we will hear something in 2 weeks.🙏
Sam BrownOct 7, 2022
pls keep us updated Melicia
Y KOct 7, 2022
Yes please @Melicia
Angelica GarzaOct 7, 2022
@Melicia Stevens wish you the best of luck with your case
Melicia StevensOct 8, 2022
@angelica I wish you all the best as well🙏🤞🏽
Melicia StevensOct 8, 2022
@angelica thank you😊
Sam BrownOct 9, 2022
Melicia and Angelica, does your case processing time the same ?
Angelica GarzaOct 9, 2022
@sam brown
Hello, last night at 12am it changed to 1 week
Noor aOct 9, 2022
@agnelica hopefully you gonna get approval this week 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Y KOct 9, 2022
Nice, so we now know it does actually continue to countdown the time until the estimate provided so it seems to be a functional estimation. 1 week till we see the accuracy/trustworthiness/legitimacy of it. 😊
Melicia StevensOct 9, 2022
@sam no mine is September 15th.
Melicia StevensOct 9, 2022
@angelica mines changed to 1 week too. I pray that we hear something soon.
Sam BrownOct 10, 2022
yay!! that’s exciting news
Sam BrownOct 10, 2022
thank you Angelica and Melicia for all your updates. we really appreciate it!!
tish squirewellOct 10, 2022
hi guys where you guys seeing this update?
Cornell TwilleyOct 10, 2022
I wonder if this is an estimated time overall or if these estimates will change if the case moves location, etc.
key 4Oct 10, 2022
there is a question mark ?, where they say estimated time … and it has not changed. anyone else has a ? as their estimated time
Cornell TwilleyOct 10, 2022
@key 4 yes mine just says that it may take more or less than the the estimated time they have provided
Melicia StevensOct 13, 2022
@Angelica did you get approved???
Melicia StevensOct 13, 2022
@angelica my kids didn’t. now it changed to the case is taking longer that expected. sigh this is really hard.
Angelica GarzaOct 13, 2022
@Melicia my case’s processing time hasn’t changed. It still displays as 1 week. Dont lose hope, cases are taking long but surely they will give an answer soon.
Melicia StevensOct 14, 2022
@ Angelica ok. Good luck 🙏
Melicia StevensOct 14, 2022
@angelica I won’t. I just miss my kids.
Sam BrownOct 14, 2022
so sorry guys!! stay strong
Y KOct 17, 2022
@Angelica, you got an update on your account?
Sam BrownOct 17, 2022
yes pls update us. this should be the week of responses!
Angelica GarzaOct 17, 2022
@Y K Hello, my account hasn’t changed yet. it still displays 1 week.
Hopefully, I get an answer this week
Cornell TwilleyOct 18, 2022
I checked mine last week and it was displaying 10 months. checked yesterday and the time has dropped to 6 months. I really am hoping that this estimate is somewhat accurate as that is quite a severe drop
Angelica GarzaOct 21, 2022
Hello, my case updated to “Your case is taking longer than expected to process. You do not need to take any action at this time”. I guess I need to wait a couple more weeks or months to expect a decision.
key 4Oct 21, 2022
@Angelica Garza, since this new feature that’s exactly what mine says, it doesn’t give an extimated time either..
Y KOct 21, 2022
Thank you for the updates @Angelica and apologies it wasn't accurate. I understand the hope it gave and being letdown by it is very frustrating. Hope you get approved real soon.
It seems, after seeing multiple people, this is indeed fully inaccurate. Haven't seen anyone get approved at the indicated time. Hopefully they do get this corrected some time because the unknown is horrendous, especially for the planners of each family, like me.
Ro RoOct 21, 2022
Angelica, thanks for the update. hope we all get approved soon
Sam BrownOct 22, 2022
So sorry Angelica! thank you for the update though. it’s much appreciated
Angelica GarzaOct 22, 2022
Thanks everyone for the support. Indeed, it’s difficult to obtain an exact date of when our applications will get approved with all the immigration of people from different nationalities that’s happening. I try not to lose hope, even though I’ve been waiting on my case for almost a year. I will continue to keep updating if anything changes. Let’s pray we all reunite with our families soon.
Cornell TwilleyOct 22, 2022
Keeping you in my prayers Angelica. The only way we get through this is by uniting together. I hope you get some great news soon.
Sam BrownOct 22, 2022
Yes keep your head high!! your turn is coming
Angelica GarzaJan 5, 2023
Hello everyone, just wanted to inform that my case got approved on 12/29/2022. I’m so excited to move on forward with my case and wish you all the best as well in your immigration journeys. Happy New Year 2023 for everyone!!!
Ro RoJan 5, 2023
OmG, congratulations Angelica and thanks for keeping us posted, happy new year to you too.
Sam BrownJan 13, 2023
yay!!! congratulations 🎉
E. FenixJan 13, 2023
congrats Angelica I’m starting to notice somewhat of a pattern on some cases with these approvals they seem to be taking 14 months hopefully I’m right 🙏🙏
