Have you gotten an answer on your expedited request yet?

I got an email yesterday saying its being reviewed.

Not having a good day today. I've been so patient. I'm past being infuriated and there's nothing we can do. There was no change in their processing date...still shows "January 14th" with the update of Dec 1st. There's no way that's true. They're just preventing people to be able to file a case inquiry. It's exhausting. I feel true hatred towards this entire process. 

 

I'm going to stay off of these forums for a few days. It's just having the opposite effect on me. Best of luck to everyone. 

@TX&BC.. I know this probably won't help you feel much better... but... flat out IGNORE the "Last Updated" on the bottom right hand corner of the screen. The last time this page changed was ~Nov 15 and was updated to "As of September 30th".

They typically update this value on the 15th of the month, and it is always a few months in arrears. This is only helpful for when you can escalate/claim you are out of processing time. Otherwise, the forums are a more realistic look (i.e. as of last week we had a bunch of Feb 2017 approvals with some March approvals/RFE's trickling in). 

I hope this helps. The USCIS websites cause more grief than not, so I wouldn't put your faith in them. Just keep an eye on visajourney.

I notice there is no group for   I-130 DECEMBER 2017 FILERS

 

I am only asking how to create one?

 

where all December 2017 filers????

 

Will one of our wonderful admins remove "How to Create" from the title and then we can call this case closed?

Hope I get hear something this week.  PD March 13th...

 

Any March filers hear anything??

 

Look back through the past few pages.  A few early March approvals. A few early March RFE's.  They still have a ton of Feb to do but March is trickling in.

There's an April 1st case approved as well. Great to feel March cases on the roll!

 

Just noticed that was April...2016... oops

Do you know if the April 1 was an expedite?  Considering where they are at in the process it sounds a bit... out of place

A good friend of mine (VJ user EDurevic) got her NOA2 in the mail today. It was a surprise as she is a March filer at Nebraska Service Center.

 

NOA1 - Mar 09 - Serbia - NOA2 Nov 25

 

Looks like they must be approving March cases

Made my damned day!

Can you explain what the "as of date" means please?

The website may show it was updated on Dec 1, but they day they're approving (January 14) is as of September 30th.   That means even though we know they have worked on Feb/March cases, they officially are saying "On September 30th we were working up to January 14th" and won't accept any escalations or anything else until they update again.  I would assume mid-December they will update to "As of October 31st" and it will be a late january/early February date.   Does that make sense? They always report in arrears and we never know what date they're on "Officially" until a few months after that date.

The real updates only occur around the 15ht of the month. so I wouldn't worry about that date.

Agreed.  The as of date is the concern.... Which is at what....September 30th right now?  That's what you watch for change in.

I will add as many people as I can, this Nebraska situation is for the flipping birds, the tier 2 rep I talked to when I put in my request flat out told me that wasn't a good enough reason SMH, I just put my request in Monday, and was told 5-10 days for an answer.

That's sad considering. The tier 2 rep I spoke to had nothing but good things to say about my reasons. I would think getting out of Egypt is a much better reason.  I was told 5 days but "Don't call in 5, give us 15 before you do", so I guess I'll be calling at the end of next week.

I will pray for the both of us.

Feel free to add a third to that last.  Have an expedite request out due to extenuating circumstances (Stress and emotional wear on young children as well as increased attacks in London/UK and they're supposed to travel to/from there for medical/interview).  Hoping to hear something soon

You're awesome @acidrain thank you so much for all the information. I really appreciate it!

It's definitely a good time. Tier 2 had a 4 minute wait when I called about 15 minutes ago.

My pd is march 2 but my status still the same online

I do NOT profess to know Nebraska's process, but the way I see it, when they are issuing the initial RFE's, no news is good news.  I would bet they check the file and then start a background check.  Might mean they haven't picked it up..... might mean they have and it wasn't missing anything and now you're waiting for a response before approval.  Either way, I've seen it every month.... a bunch of RFEs and then the movement starts.  

Also two March 2nd cases got RFE's yesterday.  I don't see any approvals but at least that means they're combing through the files

Yea but hopefully Nebraska starts moving 

I did see an RFE for Nebraska in March at one point. I think there was even an early November approval for a March case.....but nothing in volume.

Yes but its from Texas Center they are a little faster 

Somehow I looked right over that............

Congrats best Christmas gift!! I hope Nebraska starts approving March filers before the year ends 

@Jacky U.  Unless I am getting this wrong, look at @Vazquez520 timeline.  It says NOA1 is March 6  :-)

Priority Date 4/11/17

When can we expect to hear from uscis?

When can we actually submit inquiry?

Please update your timeline with your dates and service center. I don't believe you can submit an inquiry until the USCIS shows they're past your priority date. Right now they are showing January 14 even though they are processing February and even some early March.  Once that date is updated to April 11 or later you can submit an inquiry as you will be outside of normal processing times.

2 cases approved today at Nebraska

NOA1 - Feb 1 - Brazil

NOA1 - Feb 15 - Brazil

 

It feels like they've come to a complete halt. I was hoping for a June NOA1 approval by February but........

Hi All any update from Nebraska June filers I-130  

They're working February and some early March.  We probably won't hear anything until Feb/March of 2018

November 21  shoes on the app 

If you check the March forum, the person who that was actually for responded (well her husband's mother or something of the sort).

Were those March RFE from March 1 ?? 

I got a real time updates of 1 case  March 1 with RFE 

Yes, and then I had one I saw a few days ago approved in March but I lost the case number.

I am not sure.  

So I gave them a call and got the same story from 2 agents (a third if you include the one from yesterday). They do not take ANY evidence. The request will be reviewed and I should hear back in 5 days but it could take as much as 30. At that time I'll be either approved, denied or have more supporting information requested. 

I did get told I can call back in 15 days to see if any status/notes was put on the expedite request. Here is timing two weeks (yes I know.. holiday).
