November Filer for I-130

PD- 11/17/17
Bio Completed 12/10/18
SR 2/1/18 - Not Assigned
SR 3/5/18 - Not Assigned
No updates since. Anyone else still waiting and nothing?

Hey, I filed the I-130 for my wife in November of 2017. Received the confirmation letter around the same time as you (12/8-12 ish). I have not heard anything back. My lawyer has told me that these cases tend to me examined on an individual basis and it really depends on the officer assigned. Anyone else on here filed for immediate relative?

Hi jay,

Very interested in your experience as I am about 10/15 days ahead of your timing. I submitted my package on November 7th and got my EAD/AP card on Feb 26th. I'm also based in Miami.

Would be curious to see when our interviews are scheduled but from what I read, the Miami office is a long way behind on scheduling any interviews.

All,

So happy that I have received my EAD card now!!!

12/7/2017: Biometrics appointment done at USCIS office in Chatsworth, CA

No RFEs received.
Raised 2 SR's and no reply
Emailed the ombudsman 2/16/2018, replied 2/27/208 saying that the Ombudsman's office reviewed our case and that they contacted USCIS regarding our application.
We also called USCIS twice and they only said they are still processing our case.
Im trying to get an appointment thru INFOPASS hoping it will help our case.
The wait is becoming ubearable

Hi all,

Sorry have not been following this thread much, however seems that many November filers are still waiting....

I received notice that my EAD was approved then 2 days later it changed to being mailed. The I-131 has not updated, however I still assume that Advanced Parole will be on my EAD Card. Our I-485 and I-130 have yet to update with any notice of interview of case being moved to local field office, however I will update once they do. Update of case:

Based in Miami and Lawyers are based in New York.

Some questions:
First he asked what proof do you guys have to show. We showed all the stuff I listed before. Here asked some questions to compared with the answer my wife provided. What do your wife do, when are you finishing your phd, what is your wife?s name, date of birth, parent name, where are your wife?s siblings located, how many, what is the name of your joint sponsor, when you guys traveled how did that go and how did you fly, what did you do for Christmas and wife?s birthday? Those are the questions then he recommended us for approval. I hope that helps.

Anyone has this issue? Unable to check online status. RD is October and it is way beyond 45 days. Additionally, called the number 4 times, but never got a call back after being put on the call back list. Thoughts/suggestions?
