ALL Nebraska I-130 Filers - 2

[julieascott 19]

Hi,

Filed for I130 for my mom last July and my case was sent to Nebraska. My NOA1 came with a case number that's still not recognized until today. How lucky can I get? I tried to download the app but my case number didn't work on it either. Won't there be any other way, aside from calling the USCIS people, to track my case?  I would like to have your thoughts. Thanks.

I see, we filed through a lawyer, not getting any messages directly from USCIS. Is there any other way to sign up for text/email updates?

you can sign up by creating an account at www.uscis.gov, click on "Check your case status"

Hmm, what do they say when u call them? Do they say your petition is pending? 

I was sent a email saying it’s being reviewed because I requested expedite, but they hqve only said if not heard back in 30 days to call them. By 30 days it will have been over 1 yr since I filed and the heartache continues

Just thought I would update everyone on today's cases. I feel like the John King of CNN with i130 approvals instead of electoral maps.

 

NOA1 Nov 3, 2016 - Peru - approved

NOA1 Dec 8, 2016 - US (guessing AOS case) - approved

 

These were on top of the NOA1 Feb 21 case from Nigeria that was approved.

 

The trend I have noticed the past 3 weeks is Nebraska is cleaning up a lot of Nov/Dec cases before moving on to Feb. Could be why the backlog is continuing to get worse.

The processing time page was updated today, unfortunately no change to the I130's dates

They just closed our I-129F 

so we are hopping the approval of the I-130 will follow soon

That's good news! 😊 InshaAllah your noa2 should get approved in just few days from now. Good luck!

Well I hope this is the case! I'm a Dec filer (12/6) and coming close to the anniversary of our filing date. Crossing fingers!

HI, just curious where you got the information on which cases they are approving? The Peru and US one?

I have the USCIS app so any approvals will notify me on my phone.

torontoguy got his approval yesterday from Canada Feb 8 NOA1. I thought it might be mine as my actual NOA1 date is Feb 8. But when it goes through it's the date received, not the NOA1 date.

 

This morning a case from the US (likely AOS) got approved in Nebraska with the date Dec 8, 2016.

 

There is not a lot of activity but I am gathering it is because it's Veteran's Day.

iPhones don’t give us that feature on the Uscis app. Only android phones will

I will try to keep everyone updated on the cases being approved. Today with it being Veterans Day I don't think any of the USCIS offices are open.

If you're still waiting: you're not alone. We are here for you. 

I know, that doesn't help but I know how easy it is to feel like you're alone and left behind while other people get their approvals. 

 

It is incredibly stressful to see people that have been waiting half of what you have been waiting complain, but it is a difficult scenario for all of us nonetheless and I get it. Waiting longer puts things in perspective, you realize that you can't really plan ahead and you start to feel anxious, desperate. We miss our husbands and wives, and we start to feel hopeless.  But it also has some weird silver linings, you also get to be independent and appreciate your relationship more. You figure out new hobbies, you enjoy time with your family and friends. If you don't let it dominate you completely, you can see the good along with the bad. 

Some of us get the short end of the stick and we have to wait longer without any reason but that Nebraska is a nightmare center that has done nothing to reduce the backlog and continues to be a horrible center all around. It is easy to feel wronged by the government, but we also have to take care of our emotional and physical health.

Things will get even rougher before they get better, you know how they say it's always darker before the dawn. With the Holidays around the corner, it's easy to feel defeated and depressed, but try to fight against it. We will survive this and become stronger, thanks to it. We will ultimately be with our loved ones and this will all be a distant memory. 

Big hug to everyone <3
