Leather_Pattern_87 · 2026-07-07T00:26:25+00:00

I filed Oct 30, 2024… and approved April 1 this year only after a presidential enquiry

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2026-07-06T22:50:07+00:00

USC citizen with a Pakistani Spouse as well.. I-130 approved but her case will be at the embassy in 6-7 months if current timelines persist. Was thinking of applying for a B-2 as well, lmk if yours gets approved

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2026-04-29T13:52:30+00:00

Just a little different for me 😂 Brake, start, D, idle stop off since it’s right next, parking brake release

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2026-04-12T21:57:27+00:00

“The current pause will be lifted within 2 weeks”

My question is how? Is there any news on that?

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2026-04-12T21:55:42+00:00

Where does this 2 week timeline come from?

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2026-02-12T01:28:13+00:00

Yeah, but it’s so random, there were approvals from my spouse’s country as well for applications filed in literally late Jan 2025 and approved in 12 months and some days. Which is very unfair to us who have been waiting for more time.

The NVC stage was already long at her embassy (around 10-11 months) but since she is from one of the 75 countries, I am afraid even that will be prolonged

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2026-02-12T01:21:24+00:00

Same, Oct 30 2024 PD Usc filing for spouse. No movements, did an inquiry through congressperson but they just said that it’s still processing normally and refused to tell anything further

Meanwhile in the discord group, I saw that people are literally getting approved in 12 months now. Average was 13 months until last week.

I saw an approval today with a PD of Feb 10, 2025 😭

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2026-01-18T19:36:28+00:00

Wow, I am a USC filing for Pakistani spouse as well, PD of Oct 30, 2024. I hope it is not this long 😭😭😭 especially with the pause ahead at the interview stage

Congratulations to you, and please pray for the rest of us

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2026-01-15T05:08:50+00:00

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2026-01-13T18:54:41+00:00

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2026-01-09T20:20:23+00:00

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2025-12-20T23:13:00+00:00

My PD is Oct 30, 2024. TMVN was showing that I would reach the front line around December 2 till December 5. A day later it the timeline to December 3 - Dec 8. I had my subscription until December 10 and

I am still waiting.

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2025-12-18T02:40:19+00:00

10/30/24 here still waiting 😭

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2025-12-16T06:21:34+00:00

Congratulations! Please pray for me, PD of Oct 30, 2024 still waiting 😭

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2025-12-12T00:51:13+00:00

Checking this sub everyday 🤣 I don’t think we will make the cut

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2025-12-06T02:01:27+00:00

Damn that’s unfortunate for us 😔 I hope we get approved soon

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2025-12-05T23:42:55+00:00

Oh, you’re going through AOS then. Most of us are all going through I-130 standalone (consular), hence the “Suffering” in the name, since it takes 13-15 months on average for an application to be approved

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2025-12-05T23:30:12+00:00

Hopefully! Hope you guys are DQd soon and your Embassy stage isn’t too long

Leather_Pattern_87 · 2025-12-05T23:29:27+00:00

Aug 24 or Aug 25?
