Hellooooooooo.............oooooooooo. I could hear my echo. Anyone home? This page is very inactive these days. Did everyone get their NOA2’s? or did everyone give up on Nebraska? I hope the answer is everyone got their NOA2.
I'm still waiting.

Everytime that I look my timeline and the estimated time for NOA2 sets more and more far away, LOL... It started on May 10-18 2018 and now is May 28-June 8 2018, LOL!!!!
I´m taking this really really slow....Someday it will arrive!!!
Try not to even look at your timeline, it will drive you crazy. My estimated date for my NOA2 started in December, now its in February.

Ok now i am confused. To verify
I send in the I130 along with I130a to uscis, then wait for a receipt and at this time i was told to send in the I129 (K3) for him and then they send that info to to NVC and that is where they set up an appt with the embassy in Uruguay (which is where he is). Then he comes here, and does an adjustment of status to have his permanent residency.
But youre saying that he will automatically have his permanent residency? At the USCIS, i was told that this is the way i should do it. And they handed me the forms. Please tell me if i am doing this correctly? I havent even heard of a cr1/ ir1 visa.
In your case, sounds like you will be doing Consular prossessing since he is not in the US with you. Once you send in the I130 to USCIS, you wait for the receipt (NOA1) which is the Notice of Action. After receiving that, you have to wait for your petition to be approved, once approved you will receive your (NOA2). They will then send your file to the National Visa Center who will assign a case number, then forwarding your case to your embassy where he will be interviewed.

You don't need to have your USC child with you. But the child your husband petitioned for is required to be with you. You will be interviewed at the same time. You will come to a window for a quick review and will be asked to raise your hand and swear that all the info on the applications is true and correct, they will confirm addresses and etc. Back then i thought my interview started but it wasn't it yet. Then they will send you to the computers that they have there to correct the info if smth is wrong (maybe you changed address) or if there is nothing to correct, they will ask you to take a seat and wait for your number. When your number comes on the display over the window, you will proceed to it with your child. Here you will
be sworn again. The child won't be asked any questions. Maybe if just to make you both feel relaxed. My child wasn't asked anything not even to swear.
Thanks for the information

Hello,
My husband who is a USC has petitioned for me and my oldest daughter who is 11 years old. My 10 year old daughter is a USC, so I am assuming she will not need to attend the interview with us. Do you think I will need to bring her US passport with me to the interview? Also I would like to know if they would interview my 11 year old daughter and I at the same time at the embassy or will they call us up at different times. What should I expect them to say to my daughter because she is very shy and doesn't even want to go to the interview because she don't know what to expect. But I keep telling her it's nothing to be shy about. Has anyone went through this before?

It's bad Nebraska is moving so slow. It has to be something that we can do

No, you cannot request a transfer. Sometimes, files will be transferred from a more backlogged service center to another to speed up processing times. This happened to our case back in March when it was transferred from Nebraska to Texas.
Thanks for the answer.

My tourist visa (B2) was cancelled 2 months ago at the Dulles international airport, I'm married with an us citizen, and the CBP's agents told me since the moment I'm married with an us citizen the B2 visa is not the appropriate document for traveling to the states, Im sorry but I think you don't have a chance to get the B2 visa ☹️, the only thing my husband and I could do was applying for my green card , so I'm here at my country waiting for an approval...
Same thing happened to my girl friend last month at the airport. The CBP agent cancelled her tourist visa in the airport and she was not allowed to go. They told her since she is married to a USC, she needs to apply for a green card.

Some officers don't even give the chance to say that you can show docs. It's at their discretion. Do you have much knowledge of the Moroccan consulate? Giving hope for a tourist visa here isn't very helpful.
Exactly. Some officers don't even care about seeing those docs. Some consulate are worst than others, and I've seen a lot of spouses apply for tourist visa here in my country and get denied.

Hello,
My spouse recently applied for a B2 visa and was denied. I am a U.S. citizen, and we were hoping to visit my family this summer, as we just had a child.
We do not have the intention to immigrate to the U.S., which is why we applied for the tourism visa. I asked advice about which visa to apply for previously here.
During the interview, my spouse was never asked for any documents showing ties to the country we are living in.
What advice do you have for obtaining a visa to visit the U.S.?
Does my spouse have any additional rights to visit my family, now that we have a child that is an American citizen?
Is there another visa we can apply for, although we do not plan on living in the U.S. at any point?
What could we do differently to succeed in the B2 interview? We had strong supporting documents, but never had the chance to present them.
In a perfect world, we would like to visit my family for 2 weeks every summer and winter.
Thank you for your guidance.
The chances for your spouse obtaining a tourist visa are very slim. You would have to really show strong ties in the country you live in now. They will look at where your spouse has a right to become a permanent resident of the US, you guys will visit and your spouse might not return to their home country. A lot of people I know married to USC have been denied a tourist visa. Good luck with your journey.

Hi all,
I was wondering if it's possible for someone to request their file be transferred from one Service Center to another? Has anyone know of someone that did this before?

I'm on board. Mine kept moving from August to September, since we started the process. Instead of 3-5 months for most people, it became 7. When I got used to the idea of 7, it became 8-9. That's just simply not okay.
I agree, that's not okay. Nebraska is the slowest Center and it looks like they are moving backwards. They were on 27th Nov, but they moved back to 21st Nov 2016.

2018. Wow. But I do agree we do need to come together
Yes. Nebraska looks like it moved backwards. They were at November 27th now they back to November 21st. I noticed California caught them up.

Can't believe we are drawing close to 10 months. July 19 for me.
We need to come together and think of something. Something has to be done with all this slow process at the Service Centers. My date on my timeline was estimated around December 25th 2017. Now it moved to January 2018

I did everything alone.
K1. AoS. And now RoC.
Ok thanks. We already hired a lawyer for the I-130 process. I guess after that, we can do everything on our own.

It literally takes couple of hours to fill the paperwork, and that's when you're already typing really slow. Gathering the evidences can go pretty fast if you know where your paperwork is. I'm working on my RoC now, and I had everything filled and copied and gathered in a binder in one day (I was taking breaks).
Personally I'll never understand why people who don't have any red flags or whatever use the lawyer at all. Waste of time and money.
All USCIS forms comes with really clear instructions. Once you read those, you shouldn't have issues with the forms themselves.
Yes a couple hours. Are you doing the ROC yourself, or you have help?

Obviously the literal time that it takes to file an I-130 is not that long, but for an immigration lawyer office to take 2-3 weeks is totally reasonable. We hried a lawyer and he took about that time. We didi for the extra security and even though its extra money I will keep him all the way through Naturalization because the peace of mind is priceless
I agree with you, peace of mind is priceless. You don't have to hurt your head if your filling everything out correctly.

Hi everyone!
The paralegal managing my relative petition case I talked to (because you rarely speak to an actual attorney) said that it takes 3 weeks to prepare the I-130 while I already gave them all my bona fide documents and the biographical information from my wife (US Citizen) and I. Afterwards we are going to meet to review it before sending the package and sign it.
i know that most of you did not choose to hire a lawyer and that it is not necessary. But, does it really take 2-3 weeks to file the I-130? Perhaps an immigration lawyer put this kind of stuff as low priority and doesn’t really work on it?
i now have to change the Return flight ticket date to a later one in order to be able to meet with my lawyer in the U.S. to review the I-130 together and sign before leaving for my home country and wait for the petition to be approved.
I hired a lawyer and he worked on ours pretty fast, we sat in his office and prepared the file in one day. Once you have all the relevant documents that's needed to send the I-130 in, it really shouldn't take that long.

yup, and with that I see a lot of people complain when they're well within normal processing wanting to call right away not realizing its just going to make it worse.
When I first started the process it was 5-6 months and now its 7-8 months.
Really one of the best things to do is not check so often or you'll drive yourself mad.
This should be your month for approval here.

Mine at 295 and am waiting for them to change my status to RFE was received. I hope we don't have to wait any longer
This is horrible. And RFE pushes it back to like 30 or 60 days longer. I hope you get approve very soon. Nebraska just needs to speed things up a notch.

Thank you. I was wondering who else was going to start and complaining about Nebraska. One and two persons cannot do it alone, we need all of us who is stuck at Nebraska to start sending letters to their Senators and making a big deal out of it. I think they need to share the work load.
