I-130 approved on December 18, 2014

Received I-797 January 17, 2015

No follow up from NVC yet - cannot seem to get a hold of anyone by phone, I call back to back to the NVC and the lines are always busy. No response to emails.

Does NVC usually contact by mail or email? I-130 was at the Nebraska office.

Thank youd

Thank you for the insight, I did not get to read all of the posts in this thread but saw a few and started to feel pretty glum about our future. I guess I expected that the USCIS would follow through on their estimated time of 5 months for the i-130. I really hope everyone in the process ahead of me gets processed first. This is really unfortunate - I know that Iran is certainly not viewed as a friend of the US right now, but hopefully the security checks will be fast.

I may be inquiring on the wrong thread... I am a US Citizen, born and raised. I met my husband through his sister (old college friend of mine) and we were married in Istanbul in May 2014. My husband is from and currently resides in Iran. He has never been to the US and traveled Europe for work before the sanctions were put into place. He has never over stayed a visa.

As soon as I got back to the US I filed his i-130 and it was assigned to the Nebraska office with an acceptance date of June 02, 2014. So far there has been no change to his status on the USCIS website (before the site updated and status viewing was available) and I called Customer Service on 11/24. I have been advised they are working on the May 16 petitions and that I could go online and file an official inquiry as to the delayed processing time. I did that already about three weeks ago and have not yet heard back. I just miss him and feel like this is going to be never-ending. Anyone else experiencing a delay at the Nebraska office or is it because of his nationality?
