Believe me I'm not happy either with the process of all of this. This is all taking too ridiculously long. But you know what? Maybe that's ok... I've been exhausted waiting for a response on our visa for about 11 months now. Checking the case status thing, talking about all we'll get to do together when we're finally together again. It's draining no doubt, but I've forgotten how to enjoy the moment too. My fiance would say "honey, relax things will be settled soon ok?" To hear those things would frustrate me a little because I really want something but it's not in my grasp yet. Things are different now because I've had time to accept that this process will not only take long. But it's going to change our lives forever. I want everyone to know reading this that things will happen in all do time if you really love that person.

Process is very slow my brothers and I were sent to different centers,I was sent here ,they go their I-130 approved and I am still stuck without mine being approved here.For 3years and 5 months I'm here waiting for it to be approved. My brother are approved 7 months now and me nothing.Its funny enough my Priority date( March )6months before my brothers (September) and my centre is still slow. Frustrating.....sigh

PLEASE CREATE a STAMP so spouses of permanent residents and US citizens can live and work in the USA while this long process is taking place. It is a sin what immigration is doing, forcing couples to stay away for so long and extending the distance caused by the pandemic. We should not have to waste our time in life because of this. Many of us could be having our families, children and progressing in life right now. I am sure the Lord will make every government and officer that is making laws to destroy the union of families to pay for the suffering of thousands of families on the big and great judgment day.

When we started the K1 process, over 300 days ago, USCIS said the expected processing time should be no more than 6 months. Now, 10 months into it, they have given NO UPDATES and now say the processing time may take 13 months … and it continues to go up each month. They claim they have a plan to bring the processing time down to 6 months in the next 1.5 years, but instead of going faster, since their announcement of their plan, they have only slowed each day. To be clear: this is not the fault of the adjudicators processing the claims. This is the longest wait time in HISTORY and has only gotten worse under the Biden administration & the confirmation of Director Jaddou, the current administration keeps blaming the former administration’s policies, but nearly a year-and-a-half into his leadership it is time to stop blaming the predecessor & start facing accountability. I hope to one day, SOON, have my fiancé in the US so we can FINALLY get married & start our lives together… I can only hope USCIS will step it up & start increasing the speed of processing before it goes any further out of control.

Questions & Answers

Why California service center is too slow for i-130 application when other service center is too fast? I am feeling confused with the way they process the application.

I put two I-130 in last year one ago and was given different dates each time I went to the lawyers office I'm in Kentucky. My wife's case is in Nebraska where as my step daughters case has been moved to California. the current wait time now is "12.5 to 16 months" just for the Judication process that's not counting the NVC which could take 4 to 6 more depending on the embassy in the other country. My wife is Italian. Now it's been 2 years since we've started this process and the cases have been moved several times. It's supposed to be in Vermont now but, who knows they never give you a direct answer, I even have my local senators office inquiring about the cases and still nothing, even when you call the main office all you get is a run around. The time frame now is 16 - 24.5 months from the start. It's now currently 8/2021 we submitted our cases 9/2019

Hello, is there a way to know the current date this service center is processing for the form I-130, permanent resident filing for spouse or child under 21 years. Either Internet sources are not accurate or this service center is not processing.

Edrey | Aug 27, 2018
Krishanada Brooks | Aug 27, 2019

Guys please do your research I know the process seems unending however the. California center takes from 18 up month to get I1-30 approved the good news is that fro all those who are waiting you will be able to file i485 immediately with out a wait since the dates are now current on the visa bulletin board. They are currently at December 2016 so for all those who filed in 2017 only a few months left for your approval! Just be patient and be ready to start i485 when your approval comes!

I have been continuously keeping an eye on i130 processing date cases and whenever it reaches to November 2016,it went back to September 2016 . I have seen this happening three time now. It is bug in the website or what's going on?

USCIS did not speed up the process even though they accepted my citizenship documents. I feel like they delayed it on purpose.

I filed online for I-130 application on December 25, 2020 . haven't update any case status , I tried to call them but they do not transfer call to agent. can anyone know how can I talk with agent to ask about my application process ?

Is California Service Center the place where I mail my I-765 form along with the fee waiver I-912 form!

Hao Tang | Aug 26, 2020
Duy N | Aug 26, 2020

Here is the link for specific information where exactly to file https://www.uscis.gov/i-765 . If you are filing along with I-912 form then you will need to look at the instructions on that form to see where to file your I-912 along with your I-765. There are many locations to mail in your form but it depends on the reason you are filing it for. Hope that helps.

The i-751 instructions will indicate where to send your filing to, and the mailing address is dependent on what state you live in. There are several address licatuons throughout the US.
