Hi,
I'm looking for any information as to why it seems that the california service center is at a standstill in processing I-130 forms. I am a US citizen, and I submitted an I-130 for my Colombian wife on October 15. I received a notice of receipt shortly after, which contains the same information available online -- that processing will take between 990 and 990 days. Furthermore, the date of the I-130s currently being processed has been Feb 5, 2003 since I filed the form in October. I can't find information anywhere regarding the standstill.
(We can't apply for a K-3 Visa because we were married in Spain and my wife's visa to be in Spain expired, so we are both in Colombia now. We unfortunately can't afford to fly to Spain for the interview, and the K-3 will only be issued in the country where the marriage took place.)
Thanks for any information!
