Stepson's I-130

[warpedbored]

Curiouser and curiouser.. I checked the dates on the visa bulletin yesterday and they are working March 2006 for unmarried sons and daughters over 21. Yesterday my stepson received a package from GZ. I'm not sure what yet. The case status shows nothing new, just the same old "post decision activity".

Let's hope it's something good.

March 2006 ?????? Does that mean they have a seven-year backlog.....

 

I know they be slow, but surely not that slow....

It's a backlog due to quotas, not processing. They are only ALLOWED to admit a certain number each year. Once processing is complete, your petition/application sits and waits (for years) until a "visa number becomes available", or your "priority date becomes current".

Thanks for the clarification, Randy. I thought for a minute it might just be organizational incompetence....

We filed in 2008. I am surprised to here from GZ but until my wife talks to him tonight I won't know what it is.

False alarm. The package turned out to be from someone else for the company he works for.

Yeah, you won't hear anything until the priority date becomes current - I was hoping for you that this represented a jump in that date, but apparently no dice.

 

We still have an I-130 on file for Jiaying's son, which we had filed after the denial of his K-2 AOS. The petition approval came up shortly after we moved to China. Fairly recently, she was still claiming that he wants to go to the States. I don't believe her, but I have no way of knowing for sure (that's just the way I read the interactions between the two of them). If the petition ever comes up from Guangzhou, I'm certain we'll just let it die.
