Today are 5 months i am waiting to have a NOA2.

I really don't know and don't understand why Nebraska gives as deadline 5 months to have a NOA2!

Usually they teached me to not lie, NEVER!

But i see the US governement can do it without any problem at all!!

I will keep waiting for more 5 months I guess, but my trust on the US system is dropping LOW LOW LOW.....

The 5 months is only an estimate not a guarantee or promise. Some take 10 months to a year others less so it averages out to 5 months. Sorry you are feeling discouraged. Just be patient it will come. In the meantime are you already for NVC stage?

Here is the NVC process Wiki http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

This is an exctract from the USCIS:

If the field office or service center is meeting its goal for processing a form, you will find the timeframe listed in months. For example, if the office is processing Form N-400 naturalization applications in five months or less, then the chart will say "5 months." However, if the office is experiencing a processing delay, you will find the filing date of the last case that the office completed before updating the chart.

5 Months is not an estimate, but a promise!!!

It is guaranteed by the US government!

This is what they said!

Sorry to open your eyes!

Anyway i will wait 10 more years to see my wife, not a problem, but it is so sad!

(inappropriate language violating TOS has been removed - VJ Moderation)

Doesn't say anything about NOA2.

And i don't really care what the visajourney says about NVC Process, i am talking about official site of the US government.

I would be very happy to know that my case is in NVC!!

But unfortunately after 5 months is still in Nebraska!

I just received a NOA1 5 months ago, then nothing!

I think dwheels was just trying to give you the link for what you need to do to prepare for the next step to burn off some of your anger doing something beneficial.

If you notice on the government website that you're quoting, it also says the processing times are as of May 31, 2014, which was over 6 weeks ago. We filed in May and had high hopes because in May the Nebraska center was processing at under 5 months, but has since slowed down, so I would guess that near the end of July when they publish the June numbers, it will no longer be 5 months' processing time.

And just to let you know as a future resident, the US government doesn't promise or guarantee any dates on anything I've ever seen. This is an estimate, not a promise.

Good luck and hopefully it will be soon for you with a Feb date.

I rather doubt that anyone has gotten through the IR1/CR1 process in 90 days. You understand, of course, that its an immigration visa and because of that they delve more deeply into background checks before they move your petition from stage to stage? Stay the course, you should hear something soon. I'm in the same timeframe, and I understand your anger and frustration. I can't afford the energy it takes to hold onto mine, and I sure can't control it...so I let it go. At least for another few weeks.
