EB2-NIW Case Delayed for 479 days: Anyone Else?

Hi everyone, my case has been stuck in 'Case Was Received' status for 479 days. We raised a service request, but nothing has changed. Is anyone else experiencing similar delays? Is this the norm now? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated! #EB2 #NIW #EB2-NIW #Texas

My Progress" Section Removed from I-130 Case - Anyone Else?

Hello everyone, I submitted an I-130 petition for my spouse on August 1, 2024, and initially, there was a "My Progress" section showing an estimated timeline for my case. Recently, this option disappeared, and now my case status only displays "Case Was Received And A Receipt Notice Was Sent. Has anyone else seen this happen? Did you experience significant delays after this message? Any tips on what to expect or steps I could take would be very helpful. Thank you for any advice!
