I’m November 2019 and my I 130 was approved in 2022

how interesting. @girly Reds have you tried to contact California USCIS center?

@Za daughter S I did they stated it's processing in regular processing time which to me in strange because I've seen here person in Same category as I am is already approved

@Jorge Mendieta happy you had movement are you f1 category also?

@girly Reds yes I’m F1 also

I'm from May 2019 and I am not aproved yet. So every case is different no matter the categories.

I called USCIS and asked the same question. I was in processing for 1560 days (50.5 months). they answered that my I-130 will be processed when visas for 2022 will be available, however apparently there are people from 2022 and later from the same category that were already reviewed and got their answers (approved or denied). Did I miss that day when visas become available? I understood that availability of visas for the year applied and timelines that stated on USCIS site has nothing to do with how and when USCIS processes I-130 applications even within same category. It is a random, selective process which is taking place individually at each visa processing center and these centers disconnected from each other. There is no guarantee if you applied in2012 , your application will be processed before someone who applied in 2024. It is not first in first out process. There is chaos with many unfinished cases hanging their for years when officers opened the case and moved on or moved out from USCIS without closing the case. Lastly, it was already raised by some orgs that application fees that were collected 10-15-20 years ago for the applications that never been reviewed, what happened to that fees.

Hello, I am from F1 Oct 2020 and still in processing. I don't know how long it will take to be approved.

mee too case received 2018 f1 still waiting for approval!!

I'm also from 2018, nothing yet, not even Elis

I -130 /F1. September 2018.. They moved to Elis in 2024 only. still waiting...

My priority date is May 7, 2018

Hello! Mine changed to in process, I'm 12/2018. We are supposed to go by the Date for Filing, and for consular processing they also use the dates for filing if that is what the USCIS is suggesting. Also "A federal judge struck down the USCIS policies that froze green card and other immigration benefit applications for nationals from 39 designated "high-risk" countries." So the visa ban maybe coming to an end. Make sure you check your emails/text messages and regular mail for that welcome/approval letter. Congratulations!

@Jason Reyes what category are you?

@ihab azawi which month?

@Portia Tabitha Saunders You are already current, if you are F1 category you are supposed to used the Dates for Filing. When you on the Visa Bulletin, go to https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/visa-availability-priority-dates/adjustment-of-status-filing-charts-from-the-visa-bulletin and read the current month's adjustment.

@Gordo.C thank you for the information!

@Gordo C I'm F1, +21 years old

@Jason Reyes which month?

@Gordo C March/2018 and 3 more people

@Jason Reyes You are current. You have to go by the Dates for Filing dates (link is above) if you have not received any letters/texts or emails, call them, tell them your priority date is current and that you have not receive any communication.

@Gordo C Are you from the Dominican Republic? I'm in a Whats-App group just for F1.

@Jason Reyes No, I'm Colombian in Colombia so I have to do consular steps. All of you in the US, just have to do form I-485. Good luck to all of you.

@jason reyes @Gordo C my PD is march 2018 too , let's keep in contact. i am still waiting for the approval. the only action happened on my case is ELIS migration on 2024.
