November filer (share ur experience here)

I-130 November 2017

I applied a 9 days after you, Nov 16th, had biometrics on Dec 15th. Did not get work/travel permit until end of March. Had interview on May 3rd, received GC 8 days later. This was in Miami.

I applied with my wife in November of 2017 for an I-130. Any other November Filers still waiting to hear that the application has been approved? In 5 days it will be 6 months and have only received on piece of mail the entire time. Hoping to hear either at the end of May or in June.

On Day 153, I got an RFE for I864, asking for the joint sponsor's tax documents for the most recent year, which is easy enough. On the 2nd paragraph, it says, the joint sponsor didn't meet the income requirement bla bla. Our joint sponsor's income is double the FPL so we find the letter strange, until a friend explained to us that it probably meant "you're missing the 2017 tax documents so we don't accept your joint sponsor's income yet however high and above it is". It's a generic statement, I guess.

Hopefully, it goes faster moving forward after submitting the RFE response. Good luck to us all.

I just got notified that I would be receiving a RFE - after 170 days!

A lawyer told me you can get an RFE any time throughout the entire process even after the interview, if they decide they need something else from you they will send you an RFE.

Sacramento CA here in the wait...

We filed for AOS marriage based, my husband who overstayed his J1 Visa, its been the most stressful year of my life, here is our timeline
Concurrent Filing I-130, I-485, I-765, and I-131

10/13/17 Mailed to Chicago Lockbox
10/20/17 Received our Case
11/01/17 NOA for i-485, i-765, i-130 and i-131
11/10/17 Biometrics Letter
11/24/17 RFIE for missing evidence on form I-864
12/01/17 Biometrics Done
12/27/17 Received RFIE response, case no longer on hold

and thats the last I've heard of that, no EAD, no online update, nothing just in the dry, yesterday I went on the forum and saw people who filed in March 2018 and already got their interview notice, I just had a nervous breakdown, I cried because this is just the worst to be in the unknown. Today I raised an SR for the EAD, which should be answered by June 3rd, and our field office doesn't take any info pass appointments anymore, I've tried everyday to get an appointment every day with no luck but now they've totally closed this option. We're praying and waiting everyday for some sort of an answer/notification with no luck.

finally got the approved email for work permit and travel document

Today is the day ... 178 days waiting almost 6 months and then get approved for combo card today!!!! Hopefully will get the card in mail in a week!!!
I only raised one SR on Apr and still no assigned to anyone so far.But it's ok now... Not using other ways of contacting USCIS. Was worried that too many inquires might delay the process. Just wait patiently and keep praying.

It Depends it could take anywhere from a month to 15 months for you to get an interview date depending on the processing times of your field office.
