ALL Nebraska I-130 Filers

[Ahmed & Amy 291]

I received my NOA1 on April 7, I still have not heard anything from USCIS Nebraska. Even when I check my case status online, it says only when they received it, nothing else. I'm assuming this is normal as I've noticed that it can take 4.5 months to 5 months for the USCIS to approve petitions. I did receive a hard copy of the NOA1, and thankfully they have not asked for more information. I called as well twice and all they could say was that it is being processed, nothing more.

I see several of you mention about cases being transferred... so do they notify you when they do this or if so, how soon do they let you know?

Yes, you are still within the normal processing time, I'm afraid. Ours took 5 months and 13 days. You won't see any updates online until they either approve it, request further information or transfer it. If they transfer your case it will say so on the online system and if you signed up for email alerts you will also get an email.

Good luck!

My I-130 got approved! I just checked the app and it says approved 3rd August!! I just jumped up out of my seat!! My NOA1 date was 24th March so it took 133 days...now the waiting game for the hard copy and further instructions.

No that is a terrible excuse. That would total about 9 months waiting just for an NOA2. You should make that request here https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/Intro.do . If it were me I would also email a state senator to try and get that expedited. Normal processing time is only 5 months.

They sound like they are trying to just put you off. I have an issue to this day where I am not able to check my online status. If I were to use the online checker it tells me that my receipt number is invalid yet it is not. Is yours invalid or has been invalid for a long period of time?
