I-130, The main petitioner is a Green Card holder, while the spouse is outside the U.S.
The main petitioner is a Green Card holder, while the spouse is outside the U.S. The PD is February 19, 2023, Case is in California Service Center. As of October 5, 2023, the case is being "actively" reviewed by USCIS. After that date, the estimated waiting time (I know it's not accurate) changed to "taking longer than expected." I tried to contact my Senator’s office in June 2024, and the response was that the case was within the normal processing time range. Two weeks after that email, the waiting time reappeared on the USCIS website, indicating an approximate wait of five months. Now, in November, the waiting time has disappeared again. What is the current timeline for this process? what should i expect? Should I consider contacting another Senator for assistance?

Still Waiting…💙
Let me just start saying that every time I see someone sharing their news in this App, I start tearing from happiness for others. Knowing that I am not the only one going through this tough process, madness, a battle that I have been having with myself to learn how to be patient, not knowing when your day will come, it is a devastating feeling. Having to wake up every day with the hope maybe today it’s my day, it has killed my happiness somewhow. I am happy though because I Wake up Everyday, and I am hopeful. HOPE is still in me and I see hope is in all of you. You are so blessed. Some people live miserable and we are here thriving waiting to be united with our loved ones. We are so lucky. Sometimes the hope gets in the way so much, I start dreaming things that feel so real. From the moment when I finally receive the Approval, to the moment he gets his Visa and I am waiting for him at the Airport , filming every moment. Me waiting for him at the airport to give him the most felt hug, kiss… From the Airport we are Ubering back to our apartment that I set up before him moving here. Everything it’s in its place, looks beautiful, our bed is made perfectly, I have left space for him to put his clothes, I have bought everything he needs when he wakes up. Oh, I have cooked for him all day long so the food is warm and delicious for him when he arrives home. And I know he will feel Numb when he comes the first day, he just started a new life, away from his parents, family, friends… I will have to relive those feelings once again with him. Maybe that will heal my pain, the homesickness I have, reliving a pain that I didn’t know how to manage alone. I dream all of this, while I see each one of you saying Yayy” I Got Approved” … be patient and believe.😍😭 My case says I have been waiting only 2.6 years but in reality it has been almost 5 years. When I first arrived in 2020 I got stuck here for almost 2 years due to Covid-19, when I finally could go back and flights were allowed, and I had finally made some money to go back I surprised him… I went in front of his building and every doubt left my body, when I saw him running like crazy down the stairs without his shirt on and a pair of sleeping shorts, I Knew we had to get married. I knew I have to wait for him here. And here we are after 5 Years still waiting everyday, both of us, with these dreams. it might have been a hard Journey but if you ask me what would you do differently I would say “Nothing”. We wouldn’t be what we are if we didn’t go through all of this. Sorry for taking your time, I just wanted to let you know that waiting sometimes makes things better. Maybe we needed this time to improve and realise that the relationship needed this to become Stronger.♥️ Keep loving and dreaming every little detail, it makes it easier I promise. Close your eyes and Write your story. Case: F2A California Center Permanent Resident Filled: April 15th, 2022

Finally Approved Spousal Visa I130 American Wife petitioner Nigerian husband. pd August 11th 2023 Approved October 24th 2024 California Service Center
First off I want to Thank God that we finally got through the USCIS stage after 440 days waiting Our prayers have been answered. I'm just so grateful as I recently had my daughter 3 months and we have been waiting since August 2023 of last year. We tried requesting expedite a few times knowing I wanted my husband to be here to witness the birth of his 1st daughter. Although he wasn't here physically, mentally and emotionally he has been. This journey has been so hard on us with already so much distance between us. So yesterday October 24th 2024 I received a phone notification from Lawfully that there had been an update on our case, but when trying to log into USCIS the verification code wasn't coming through for me to log in. So I waited with anticipation to see when I would finally be able to log in. once I did I immediately went to the documents tab an typically where I uploaded the receipt I saw there was 2 documents instead of only being 1. My heart was pounding as I open the file and begin to read the approval letter. it was like 1am my husbands time I called him like 4 times until he picked up the phone to share the good news! I still haven't gotten an email but the approved letter was in documents and now after all that waiting 440 days we can move to NVC STAGE!!! Praying for so many people in the same situation took 14 1/2 months but God did it for us. Still Speechless!! Please keep faith it's going to happen. We did not hire a lawyer we did all the work and put together a Bonifide packet ourselves with 4 full PowerPoint pages of pics, receipts of trips I've take (flights, airbnb stays), my paybstubs for last 6 months, my Credit Cards I put in my name with my married name, added him as authorized user, added my husband to 401k Finance documents, our marriage certificates, Letters of Affidavit from his mom and my best friends, Both or Birth Certificate, Passports and Idenfication documents, my daughters Certificate of Birth from Hospital, Expedite request came later but never approved we also reach out to our Congress women and was denied approval for Expedite. We reached out to the White House again no Expedite approval, but we kept the faith knowing everything we uploaded was more than what was asked. I just want to have my little family together in the same place 🙏🏿 I'm grateful the light at the end of the tunnel is coming! #USCIS #I130 #Nigeria #Spousal #CaliforniaServiceCenter #NVC #FAMILY #GREENCARD

US Citizen - Petition for Father (i-130) california service center
my lawyer filed I-130 USCIS received January 4,2023 and i got receipt notice. but i noticed that category is incorrect, showing petition for child instead of parent. they submitted a online inquire to changed category May 3,2023. august 30, 2023 actively reviewed by uscis. October 26, 2023 my paralegal message me and said USCIS said they cant see that i have a representative. my lawyer sent a new g-28 form on January 11, 2024. I called USCIS September 26, 2024 to check if they fix the category already but they cant give me any information that it got changed, and they told me that they can only see that i have a representative now. im still waiting for the decision. how long do i need to wait to get my case approve? its showing that my case is taking longer.
