Finally Some Action! I-130 Approved 😁 now two more steps to go , NVC and then Visa Interview
It was a long wait and stressful for both of us. Finally, some light at the end of the tunnel. I-130 got approved after 10 months plus some. We got more anxious when USCIS was increasing processing time every month. The goal post was always moving away. At first processing time was 6 months, then 8 m, then 9 m, 12 months and recently 13 months. It sank our hearts. The family separation is painful and frustrating, but this good news is certainly a boost for our hope to finally start our married life.
Now, next is waiting for letter from NVC and then Visa interview 😀. Two more steps to go! Hoping to spend Summer together here in US! 🤞

April 2022 filers (I-130) Spouse Visa
Hello there,
US Citizen applied for wife in Bahrain.
i130 filled online (IOE) California service center.
02 April 2022 - Receipt Date /PD : NOA1.
05 May 2023 - First Active Review
10 May 2023 - Second Active Review
11 May 2023 - we Got APPROVED
We were so happy until we saw the approval notice,
in our i130 we mistakenly filled both adjustment of status and consular processing, so now we have to file another form i-824 and pay another fee so the USCIS can send it to NVC :(
has anyone gone through this before 😭

I-130 & I485 Approval
Hello everyone
I had my I485 interview yesterday (Cincinnati,OH FO). I was fortunate to get an extremely nice officer. the Interview felt more like a casual conversation, granted I was accompanied only by my attorney due to my USC spouse passing in December of last year. the FO was advised of the situation prior to attending the interview. I was asked very basic and little to no questions about my marriage and majority was spent answering I485 questions.
the officer did tell me that my petition will automatically be converted to an I360 widower petition. to my great surprise less than 12 hours of my Interview my I-130 and I485 were approved. alhamduliallah!
I’ve been in the states since I was 10. this is 17 years later.
I wish all of you the best of luck. #I130 #I360 #I485

I130/I485 Expedite
Has anyone had any luck with expediting I130/I485? I’m currently employed and being able to travel is a critical part of my job. I received my AP some time ago, but I don’t want to risk it and travel using AP. My employer asked multiple times when I will be able to travel again, but I obviously can’t tell when that’s going to be. My company offered writing a letter to USCIS to expedite, but I’m not sure how that works. Anyone?

The National Visa Center Processing
Hello, there is "Due to the numerical limitations on immigrant visa issuance prescribed by law, this petition is not eligible for further processing at this time. The National Visa Center (NVC) will retain the petition until an immigrant visa becomes available. The NVC will notify the petitioner, principal applicant, or attorney of record when this petition is eligible for further processing. The principal applicant should not make any firm plans such as disposing of property, giving up jobs, or making travel arrangements at this time." information in CEAC. I am the applicant, and my visa class is F11. I filled I 130 when I was single but I will marry in a month, so I will add my wife as a spouse. Will my visa class change from F11 to F31 or not? Will I face any problems?

Should we apply for K-3?
The agency that is helping with my wife’s case advised us not to apply for a K-3 visa because it would delay the process. We are applying as the spouse of a US citizen and our PD is June 13 2022. We are still waiting for I-130. The website says 4 months left. At this stage, would it be worth it to try for K-3?
