Well am late to this topic. But I am also on the train waiting. 
We got approved on 5th of December.
NVC got documents on 19th.
We got the email from NVC on 2nd of January
sent off documents on the 16th, received on the 18th
Sent additional documents on the 18th, we forgot something, they got them on 22nd. 
 
So I am patiently waiting now and hoping for the best. We hope it doesn't take the full 11 weeks. 

first scan date was November 13, 2017 reviewed December 26, 2017. checklisted new scan date January 3, 2018 case completed January 22, 2018. In transit January 24, 2018

We are all going crazy lol 😂 😓

12/28 and waiting for a CC. 

Thats awesome man! You just set a record in the history of CR1 processing
 
How long is it taking from case close to get an interview slot available at Mumbai consulate these days. Any idea?

What is the checklist for if you dont mind me asking.

2-3 Days

2-3 Days

Same response and scan date as you. Good luck!  

Yes, if your visa is approved on the day of interview, you will receive the passport with visa stamped and other documentation in 3-4 days from the day of interview.

I called 10 minutes ago, and the agent on the phone confirmed that my DS-260 is attached to my file that is currently under review. Scan date 12/28/17.

Congrats buddy!

Yup, your's is coming soon. Hang tight there now!

so my USCIS app was  crazy last night 
I hadn't checked for case updates in last 2 days on all the cases I am tracking on app , 
so last night I refreshed and got  several case updates lol  
here is roughly what I got 
 
PD Aug 22 , Case Sent to D.O.S
PD Nov 16, Case Approved 
PD Nov 29, Case sent to D.O.S
 PD Dec 5 ,  Case Approved 
4  cases from    PD Dec 5  : RFE Sent
PD Dec 5 : Sent to D.O.S.
3 cases from    PD Dec 6 : Case Approved  
3 cases from    PD Dec 6 : case Sent to D.O.S 
3 cases from    PD  Dec 8 : RFE Sent
PD Dec 12   Name was Updated  ( Often Cases are approved  or RFE sent after this update ) 
PD April 17 2017,    Case Approved  (  Country = Philippines ) 
 
also : still Hundreds of cases left to be Dealt with from November 
 
Good sign they picking up lot more December cases and heading into 2nd week of December 
 
I'll  post  more updates once I gather more updates from case tracker app  and I'll also add more cases to tracking hehe 

hmm last week been really quiet in Nebraska  , it seems ,   
doesn't seem we made any progress other then they are picking up more cases from First week of December, and continues to work on November ........ 

I have a bad feeling that there will one day be a determination that "US Citizen" will not be the same as "US Naturalized Citizen" when it comes to the right to sponsor a spouse or family member on any level.  Almost like a determination that a Naturalized Citizen is not a "real" citizen in spousal applicants.

Everything you have said plus your family member having to reside in us as a citizen. We are strictly talking about family based visas here, right?

Thanks for keeping us updated.  The date on VJ timeline now shows December 1st, 2016.  I have noticed a lot of applications from November that still have case received status as well. Hopefully some cases will be transferred to other centers.
I had a panic attack that I missed filling out the 130a form, but later found that, it is effective for filers only after april 2017. Whew.
Lol, I am sure they would appreciate the gesture.

November has been a super heavy month for Nebraska for two reasons:
1- Trump was getting elected
2- USCIS announced fees hike effective mid December
So, a huge number of applications were filed in November and this is causing a huge backlog.
 
Once they are done with November, things should speed up a little bit, but hte damage is already done.

Like I said just go to the PSK and ask if you have to get a new passport or not. If you do then get started on that. If not then getting just the PCC doesn't take that long so you will be fine getting it when you get the notice that your case is being transferred to NVC. Also a name change is not required on the passport. In India they just want you have to have your spouses name on the passport once you are married.

They just updated the processing times, if you're stuck at Nebraska and your PD is November 15 or later,i strongly suggest you file inquiries, call USCIS and demand  to speak to a Tier2 or supervisor, or make an infopass appointment, they are now required to tell you what is holding your case. At least you'll know. Also contact your congressman,in our case it really helped. 

Here is the link to the NVC India forum.

PCC is the police clearance certificate that you submit to the NVC. You have to obtain that from your regional passport office.

Unless you have a solid reason, the expedition is very unlikely at any stage in the process.  Nebraska dates are updated today on the official website.  Nov 15th is being processed as of today.  So you are looking at another 5 months time frame for your I-130 to be reviewed.
