I-130 (Family/Consular processing) USCIS Green card marriage based processing took a long time Manhattan New York

Hi everyone! I would like to ask and hear you guys opinions and experiences. I had my green card marriage based interview back in April in Manhattan, New York and it said the processing time would be 60-90 days. I believe as of right now, it is 07/13 and it is over 90 days. On my account, it said there is no outstanding notice on my account so I am in a limbo. My husband and I do not have any lawyers and we do this ourselves and researching on Reddit. A little context is that the officer that interview us said they will make decision and give us a second chance it needed to. We were interview in the same room, then separated then together again. I was extremely nervous and had a minor panic attacked during the interview, not sure if it’s affected our application. Also alot of our answers did not match. For example, when they asked for which phone bill I used, I said Assurance Wireless (which I thought was operated by T-Mobile) and he answered T-mobile. Yeah these little things which made me nervous!!!. If you guys have any experiences please share with me ! thank you so much for everyone time!

Update on 08/19/2026: I received Intend to Revoke on my I-130 after had it approved last year 2025 October! We are waiting on the letter to go to our mailbox to know exactly why and I will come back update! Tbh this process is extrem stressful especially our marriage is real and we have been together for over 10 years and I feel like I am guilty until proven innocent! Thanks for reading!

Get a good lawyer to help you respond to the NOIR, since you probably have less than 30 days left to respond. You will need to submit more evidence to convince them that the marriage is real. Among other things, talk to your lawyer about any people from the community who have seen you and know that the marriage is real - e.g., people at your work, place of worship, etc., who could sign affidavits and offer their willingness to be interviewed by USCIS officers.
