I-129F Received Jan 20, 2023

Hello, I filled for my fiancé and the case was received on Jan 20, 2023 and I called USCIS and requested for expedited processing which was denied. I got the contact of my senator that can reach out to USCIS on my behalf but I`m not sure what/how to write him so I can convince him to reach out to USCIS. Has anyone successfully completed the expedite process with a senator? I need support in completing the process? #K1 #I-129F #fiancé

is there any approved case from August 2021?

hi, our case was received in August 13 2021, Nebraska Center. september 19 fingerprints were taken. nothing updated in our case account. but with some Emma chats we find out that our case first moved to Arizona in August, now it is in Newark FO. in between this time we received RFE in August, and did all our medical and sent back. they didn’t give any info about did they received or not. in October 2022 our fingerprints were reaplied again to case. we received our EAD and advance parole cards. Are here people that received approval notices from August? processing times in Newark is 21 month. we are met out 19 month marks. please share of your timeline if it is ok. thank you very much

RFE from a field office different from my field office for my I-485

I got my RFE for medicals from a field office different from my field office why? The letter came inform of an email, it has not been updated in my document section, I130 and I131 still shows case was received and a receipt was sent. I am confused 😕

I-130 is still saying receipt is sent?

I submitted my I-485, I-130, I-131, and I-765 all together. So far only I-485 and I-765 have changed their status to being actively reviewed by USCIS. I-131 and I-130 are shown as "Case was Received and a receipt notice was sent." Is anyone else running into this problem?
