lol funniest thing I've read all day  

Perhaps I'm speaking out of turn but it is not meant that way. I think that it is probably an error on the website saying they are working on January 2014. People have phoned them and been told they are up to December 2014. Myself and my 2 children were approved just over a week ago and our date was 17th February this year and I have seen several from around that date approved over a couple of weeks. Equally, I have seen many still waiting from a slightly earlier date.
I know it's hard just waiting, especially as you near that 5 month mark but bear in mind that it is only an estimate. If you reach the 5 calendar month date, then call them and ask if they can help you. Just try to relax because worrying about it isn't going to make it happen any faster. A couple of months ago the USCIS website for Nebraska had removed the I130 times for US citizen petitions and only had permanent residents on there. Clearly it was an error and they amended it but it took them a few weeks and everyone panicked then, too.
Nebraska is the designated office for I130 applications so it stands to reason that they will have a higher workload. It's frustrating, yes, but for your own sanity, try to see the bigger picture. This is going to be a year or so out of our lives and after that, we get to live a normal, happy life as a family forever so it's a small price to pay. I do hope you all get approved soon, just try not to tie yourselves up in knots waiting and get as prepared for NVC as you can
