My packet was received in Chicago and sent to the California Service Center. I am waiting for my responce from them (I-797), Should be here by next Wednesday.
Received I-797c Notice of action today....Priority date 01/02/2011
very disapointed... called USCIS today to get status update, they said our I-130 was still under review and would be 5 months before we receive an approval or denial, each case is handled differently and I cannot do anything else until June 3rd at the earliest. My wife and I are devistated about this news.
I applied for a CR1. Is this a normal practice.
Applied for CR1 Visa for my wife
