just do demand letter

@arun Ahlawat how to do demand letter

been waiting…. my pd is march 22 2025

I found a link that lists the following timeline for the I-130 process, but I am not sure how realistic or accurate it actually is right now, in August 2026:Immediate relatives (spouses, parents, unmarried children under 21): ~10–15 months for I-130 approval, no annual visa cap.Family preference categories (F1–F4): same I-130 timeline, plus 2–3 years to 20+ years waiting for a visa number

@arun Ahlawat Have you done it ? did it work!!

@Sarina Cruz 😭😔

@T&C Byrd its longer than 15 months 💔mine has been 17 months and still nothing

march 16 2025 waiting

it works for most of people

waiting for 19 months now, American stepfather filled petition for my 16-year-old son and we get nothing yet 😩, consular process

Mine is since 7 April 2025. I believe the last approved under our category is Feb 2025. Haven't seen any movement since then

mine is 20month and no approval

check again your case must not be at national benefit center

@Bhargav pandya why is that?

@Paola Catari ugh waiting is the hardest part I hope you hear good news soon! 🥹❤️‍🩹

most cases for i-130 ioe stays at scops

@Bhargav pandya im outside us (consular processing) 🫠

yes our case falls under scops.. for 130 i live outside of us too.. mine is at Texas service centre what does your service centre says? it's at the bottom left of the receipt

@suio amsri I received the approval today 🥲, after 20 months . I hope your will be approved soon .

@Paola Catari Yay congrats so happy for you! Was it just normal processing or did you submit an expedite request?

@sia alkubaisi I asked for help to the congressman of my city since my son is a minor , two days after the application was submitted, the congressman's office contacted USCIS and then yesterday we got the answer , in this case they decided to approve the form I-130 , now we are waiting for the NVC answer . my PD is 01/18/2025, we contacted the congressman on 08/18/2026 and the approval was yesterday.
