depends on your embassy

usually 2-4 months. how long did it take your i130 to get approved

@Epris Richardson It’s New Zealand Embassy.

@bilal k It took 1 year.

I've been waiting for 5 months (11/13/23) still no word from the embassy in Dakar

I’ve been waiting 9 months now still no response

@Sagar Patel Hopefully someone from the same embassy will see this and let you know. Or you can search Visa Journey or find a WhatsApp or Facebook group for your country/embassy. My husband's embassy is a 10 month wait. They all share their DQ dates when they receive an interview letter and that's how we keep track. lol. So those little communities are very helpful at the NVC stage.

hi @Epris Richardson. Where do i find Whatsapp groups can you help me?

@Geralda Lushaj You just have to ask around. Try Reddit and Facebook.

@Pri R Thanks let me look into this.

how long did it take for nvc to open your case?

@lovely roses So my I30 took about 13 months.
