    Default I-130 Application from 1998 How to Check Processing Time

    Hello,

    my brother who is a U.S. citizen living in SF, CA filed the petition I-130 and on May, 2005, I received a notice in my country saying that they have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN.

    Since that notice I haven't heard anything else. How do I know what's going with that petition? In their site the processing dates for I-130 are from 2001. In the embassy last year they said that they weren't working yet with '98 petitions. What should I do? I'm not in US right now.

    Info greatly appreciated.

    Hello,

    my brother who is a U.S. citizen living in SF, CA filed the petition I-130 and on May, 2005, I received a notice in my country saying that they have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN.

    >>> That letter that you received, is just a notice of receipt of your brother's petition. It doesn't mean they approved the petition.

    Since that notice I haven't heard anything else. How do I know what's going with that petition?

    >>> If you want to know the case status, you can go on www.uscis.gov and click on "case status online", and where asked, enter the case number (which is at the top right corner of the letter you received and usually starts with the 3 letters: WAC).

    In their site the processing dates for I-130 are from 2001. In the embassy last year they said that they weren't working yet with '98 petitions. What should I do?

    >>> There is not much to do but wait. You are supposed to stay in your country (or outside the US) until the application is approved and then they can get you an available Visa number. Takes a long time(10 yrs +). Patience is KEY.
    GOOD LUCK!
