NEWBIE QUESTIONS!!

[Michelleaye 0]

I was just wondering how the process is carrying on for those of you that have sent in your I-129s to the Nebraska Service Center. Mine was sent in on the 21st of July and still havent heard anything. I guess cuz Im also in Ethiopia I feel kind of distant from the offices there.

Thanks for your help.

It's been taking a month or more for people to get their NOA1s... much different than before the IMBRA legislation.

You can also expect that your case will be transferred to California. Nebraska is no longer processing K-visas but the paperwork still says that they should be sent there....

You might check with your bank to see if your check was cashed... that might give you an indication of when to expect your NOA1.

Hopefully you sent with some sort of delivery confirmation.

When you send any documents to USCIS, NVC, it is better to send them with a delivery confirmation or any tracking method. That way, you can aleast know that they have received it.

NEVER EVER SEND ANYTHING WITHOUT PAYING FOR SIGNATURE REQUIRED!!!!!!

It is only proof that you have that it arrived.

Why is this???

Why is this???

All petitions sent to Nebraska and Texas are now forwarded to California service Center. Vermont and California are only centers working I-129F petitions.

You still mail it to the center listed on the instructions for your local, but they then forward it to CSC or VSC

Why is this???

Because they stopped processing I-129Fs in Nebraska supposedly to make each center a specialist in a particular visa type and improve efficiency and processing (HAH!)

Why didn't they change the form or instructions? Because that would take a committee of people to requisition supplies so they can create a new form with a new address or a request for permission to remove the Nebraska address from the instructions and from the website - that then has to go into the budget review which only happens on alternate years when there is a full moon on Thursday that falls on the sixth of the month . . . so it will be quite some time until they are able to take care of this . . .

Or alternately, it's USCIS and this is the kind of ####### they do . . .

Actually think kitkat has good handle on the inner workings of USCIS!!!!!
