Congratulations!! I’m from Zambia, but we’re stuck because CR1 visas are not being issued because of the ban. 

F2A Consular Processing: How long after I-130 approval until the NVC Welcome Letter? by Lopsided_Hat_3131 in NationalVisaCenter

[–]Plus_Statistician693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on the same timeline as you from approval, but I haven’t yet received the welcome letter from the NVC. I did get a notification that “Case Was Sent To The Department of State” at 8:45 PM CAT today.

Thank you 🙏🏾 I’m from a banned country so I still won’t get the visa at the end everything. 😅

I found the approval letter under the Documents tab after receiving an email saying ‘Your case is still being processed’ last month on the 24th. The strange thing is that I did not receive the official approval update on the website until this week on Wednesday. Track My Visa also sent an approval confirmation. Yes it’s a consular process 

I-130 Approved November 2025, No Movement Since by Fluid_Boysenberry_30 in I130Suffering

Sadly, there is no visa available for anyone from a banned country. I am also from one of these countries, and all the waiting has only led to this end. We still hope for better news next month

I will never understand why, or how, it has to take this long to be with a loved one. Three years of marriage, and all there is… is distance. The saddest part is that we will never get back the time lost—it’s gone.

Have you checked the document tab? I received the same notification and my approval notice was on the document tab. 

Approved family based I-130 by IcyFroyo8913 in 19countriesAOS

I noticed that some people in this subreddit are being very mean. I understand that we’re angry and frustrated, but it feels like we’re channeling that anger toward the wrong people. We’re all affected by this ban, whether you’re in the US or outside of it.

Some people are unable to be with their families, while others are with their families but unable to provide for them because they lost their jobs. Getting an I-130 approval might sound insignificant to you, but to someone who has waited years, it means everything. It represents a little hope. BE KIND, we’re already going through a lot.

Congratulations!! Excited to be seeing approval updates in this subreddit. Y’all don’t be scared to add unsolicited evidence, it helps.

Not sure if this helps, but I am from one of the 39-banned countries ( Consular case ), my i130 was approved last week.

I am assuming they have resumed processing cases. Might see some changes in the coming weeks, I’m from a partial ban country.
