Why Nebraska Service center is so slow? I have been waiting for 256 days.

[LC & MS 6]

Hello, everyone, nice to meet you here because we have the same feeling and share the same frustrated and complicated CR1 journey.

My case was received on 22, June, 2018 and is in Nebraska service center. I have been waiting for 256 days now.

When my approval can finally come?

My husband bought the airplane tickets and will fly here to celebrate our 1 year anniversary together.

I really hope we can get approval soon before his coming and this will be the best gift for our anniversary.

Cr1's are taking alot longer now. A year isn't unheard of at all. Just try to be patient.

It was 271 days before my consular return was processed. You can try your friendly neighbourhood Congressman's office for assistance.

Ours was received June 5, 2018 so I am a little bit behind you (or in front depending on your viewpoint). I'm not getting too excited at this point. The processing times on the website recently changed from 7.5 - 10 months, to 9.5-12 months. 
Oddly if you are a permanent resident filing a 130 it is faster than a US citizen filing. 

 

Regardless, I'm just telling myself that it is going to take a year and some change (for non native English speakers, that means a bit more). 

I see many posts from you on the same subject. The reality is, no matter how many times you ask it, or how many different ways, the process isn't fast. It is never clear. Some people win the lottery and get processed in just a few months, some people miss luck all together and it takes much much longer than advertised. 
I would get comfortable in your mind that it will take 12-14 months, and if it is sooner, well then you can celebrate! :)
