Hi

So I applied an I-130 for my wife and my PD is 11/09/15 NOA is 11/12/15 at Nebraska, clearly people with dates after me has been approved and I even checked the app. I called today and got a tier 1 rep that said that they are still processing 09/02/15 applications, which seems really off. I am just checking to see what are my options when I can submit an online case inquiry? or talk to tier 2 rep? or my congressman...is it after 5 months or 6 months?

Thanks in advance

You will not be able to submit an inquiry until you are outside normal processing times-which right now say 5 months. So if you do not have your NOA2 by 5 months after your priority date (starting with month 0).

All you can do right now is wait. NSC has the highest volume of petitions so even though 5 months is average, It can take 6 or 7 months. Mine took almost 6 months. Tier 1 will only tell you what they see on the computer which is often the same date as what's posted on the USCIS.gov processing times website. Your 5 months will be next week. I would advise you to wait about 2 weeks after your 5 months and call to speak with a tier 2 person. They may say the same thing "still processing."

If you created a profile on the USCIS.gov site, you can see if your case has been "touched" by the "Last Updated" column. If it still shows a November date, then you know it hasn't been touched yet. If you haven't signed up for the text and email notifications through the website, you should.

It's much too soon to try and escalate anything or put in for a case inquiry. Hang in there. You'll get your approval soon.

Thanks all for the replies, I just got an email saying that they sent me an RFE today, so I will wait to see what it says.

I also got an RFE for the fiance application I submitted.

The good news is things are moving along :)

You mean for the I-129F that is part of a K3? You didn't file any fiance applications.
