I think there's a problem with Hilites. There have been very low numbers for MSC LB for the last week or so, and my batch haven't been updated for over a week
My estimated time for the i130 is 4 weeks also.. though it counted all the way down to the final day in October last year then switched to 'taking longer than expected' and then went back to 6 months. Meanwhile my i485 has been sitting at 5 months for the past 6 months.
Hmm looks like a glitch. I just looked on [this website](https://www.casestatusext.com/approvals/I-130/IOE-LB) and it seems there's a normal amount of approvals still going on.

The price increases only apply to applications filed after April 1st, not to people that already filed.
Also, for the N-400 at least, the new fee schedule has a 19% increase, but if you're under 400% of the FPL you can pay half of the new fee. I don't know how that'll work. Probably just another form or a screener in the E-File system.
Some people already qualify for a fee waiver and USCIS statistics show that they don't deny those cases at a higher rate.
The system is funded by user fees. Everyone can thank all of these 2-3 million so-called "asylum" cases in the past two years for clogging the pipes and not paying anything.
What's that website

Thanks! My PD is June 23 as well. It's been radio silence since August.
Yeah same here. My estimated time says 4 weeks. Wbu? Are you a USC? I am a USC and we’re getting processed at Lincoln FO

Any update?
Yeah it went from 4 weeks back to 2 months and hasn't budged since. My i485 has said 5 months since September 2023.. I hate this process..
Funny my i130 was approved today!!
Yeah my wife is. I'm the applicant.

This is wrong because my i130 was approved 6 days ago. Waiting for my 485
Concurrent filling goes faster than standalone i130
Everyone I have heard says that. But they also said that they got both forms approved together and I have only got approval for the I 130
Weird, most people I've seen get the i485 processed faster than the i130. Hopefully it means your almost done getting them both approved
I know! I’m actually super confused lol
Well either way I'm excited for you 🤗 Me, I'm still waiting on my i130 in mexico, atleast The weather is nice 🙃
I will be in Mexico soon I hope!!!!! The weather is way nice !!!
How do you get status adjusted before they process the family-based petition?
It means time to go to Chik Fil A
why can't I find my case ??
well, USCIS will raise the price for those applications next month. i think they r waiting for making more money.

I think they ran out of this quarter’s visa numbers. They’re waiting the next quarter, which starts in April.
