Hi, my sister filed I-130 for my parents got the receipt in 9/01. Until today, we don't hear any update news. My parents are living in Hong Kong, and so my sister filed I-130 through CP. We don't know why my parents still haven't received any package from US Consulate in Hong Kong. It is 10 months past already. I have a friend who also applied family based immigration for her parents at the same time. And, they got I-485 approved in 5/02. I thought the process through CP (interivew in H.K.) is supposed faster than I-485 in here. But now it seems the case processing in here is much much faster than the oversea. My sister just called to CSC but the lady told her need to wait 815~825 days (printed on the receipt). If after 825 days still no answer, then she can call back CSC and check the case status. Also, that immigraiton officer is really ridiculous because she told my sister that she couldn't check the case because she did not have any computer in front of her.

Therefore, I would like to know is anyone who filed I-130 last year was already get approved and please post. Thanks!
 
depends on the INS service center

Just look up the INS service center processing times for 130 IR.
 
Same ditto case for Ist week of October 2001

Hi buddy,

I have exactly the same case except that my parents case is in VSC. Please send me private message for more updates. Also if you can update the status @ "instrack.sce.net" that would help. Take care and good luck.:rolleyes:
 
but.....

I check the INS processing time, but the problem is that information is update or not because my friend has the same situation, but her parents already got approved in last May. Now, the INS said its process up to 6/01, but my friend's case is 8/01 and got approved in 5/02. Is that weird? Anyhow, I think what we can do is just keep waiting...... :(
