USCIS assigns the service center location based on their workload and/or other factors......the petitioner's place of residence is totally irrelevant.

Probably other factors given that they are still sending petitions to Nebraska when they are so far behind the other service centers 🤨

Hi everyone,

 

can someone maybe help me understand this... my husband lives in Dallas, TX and our case is being processed in Nebraska. I am a bit confused why since there is a service center in Texas that has shorter processing times 

I wonder if it is related to the chances of being adjudicated by someone who knows you irl. For example my husband lives in California and we got sent to Texas, Im sure USCIS demands their employees to adjudicate in an unbiased manner, and sending you to another state improves their chances of doing that.

I don't think so. People you know can live anywhere. It's supposed to be based off of workload and whatever but yet it's so unbalanced so they're not really doing too good of a job, California Service Center also doesn't process spouse of USC petitions so it couldn't be sent there regardless

Yes people you know can live in any state but im talking about lowering chances. I dont think Ive read about people being assigned to their home state service center. However I could be wrong but this is what happens when you have a lot of time while waiting in the immigration process 😂

Since spouse is from Iraq, extra security and won't allow K3.....or so the powers that be have informed me. 

 

Who are these power that be? If you want to extended delays on each step go for it. But if you could reduce delays at one of the steps shouldn't you take the chance? 

 

It costs nothing but effort and postage. The two outcomes that could happen is.

 

They process it faster or 

It process it normal speed 

 

It's not going to effect you in any other way but those two outcomes. 

 

So the door is still shown to you. It's still up to you.

My case was approved on 29-08-2019 and 14 days after it is still writing case approved . Is it normal or should it be case sent to NVC ?

WHAT A MIGHTY GOD! 

The STATUS has changed from ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING TO

"VISA ISSUED" AND NOW WE READY TO JET.

To those who are still waiting, "JUST BELIEVE" the storms are over and your moment of BREAKTHROUGHS are here. 

I WISH YOU ALL GOODLUCK IN YOU FUTURE ENDEAVORS!

Mine was approved 8-23 and was just sent to NVC yesterday, 19 days.

I am starting to get nervous it seems like all of Texas service center February fillers have gotten approved.

 

I called them and they didn't give me any information other than if it takes more than 10 months i can submit a form for application being outside of normal processing time.

Nebraska service center approval!
I130 NOA1: 2/14/19

I129f NOA1: 7/31/19

I129f NOA2 (Denied): 9/19/19

I130 NOA1 (Approved!): 9/19/19

We sent in a K3 I129f petition on July 31 and after 50 days we got the I129f denied and the I130 approved, the I129f denial came through email and egov.uscis and I130 approval through calling USCIS

Another update! Our case has been sent to the Department of State yesterday, just 8 days after our I130 approval. If anyone could share how long it took them to get their case number after their case was sent to NVC we would appreciate it!

Update:

Case#'s at NVC created today. It took 27 days from when NVC recieved the I130's.

And this was 48 days from NOA2.

 

I know waiting for case creation # is agony once we have NOA2, so i hope this will help you guys suffer less.
