Hi there!

Wife: US Citizen
Me: UK citizen
married july 2003
i130 recived by BCIS on july 28
i129f received by BCIS august 13

the processing dates initially were 395-425 days for i130 and 60-90 for i129.

Last week the dates suddenly dropped to 30-60 for i130 and 15-30 for i129 so thought all was going well, but a day or so later the dates have all gone back to their originals :-(

Is this normal or a bad sign? We've been calling the operators, and have now got them "performing an inquiry" because it's over 60 days and they will give a written answer in 30 days. It seems like the NCSC aren't the most organised..

Thanks for any help!

m,

These dates are meaningless, aside from the recent BCIS problems that cause the changes you saw.

A good exercise for you, as a new member, would be to use the Search function to find Matt Udall posts about the SC processing reports, and read his discussion about how to determine when a case becomes overdue.

The same thing happened to me. The dates changed and caused some stressful days before realising that the 15-20 days was just a mistake. I think the date change is due to the increase of applicants and therefore they have changed the dates. I don't think this will delay the ones that have already applied since we are already in line.
