A tier 2 also said that to me but I ignored him because on my app it says my case was received by Nebraska Nov 30 but tier 2 quoted Dec 6 so I have no idea what he’s talking about. 

I did notice that when I sign in to my Uscis acct it says case Number updated and says a different date then the Nov 30, 216

Hmm, what do they say when u call them? Do they say your petition is pending? 

Oh also. 

Was a little confused. The teir2 officer also noted that they have 2 pd dates for us. Jan 12 and 17. He said it could be because we sent one via online and one via mail and that they will only send us one reciept ( we got jan 12)

Going to talk about it with our lawyer tomorrow. 

Hey all,

My husband called teir 2 officer and this is what we got so far.

-if the pd date passed. It shouldn't be long til we hear approval/rfe/or sent to nvc

- once they start reviewing the petition it can take 3-5 days to review (depends on all the things they need to check, and how fast the officer assaigned is, example, some officers get 2 a day approved and  some get 5 )

- we asked why some pd dates after us are getting approved? and they said  they have about 120-128 officers working on all the petitions, each agent is given a stack of petitions,  so approval on  pd dates wont go in order and that's why approvals are all over the place.

Let's try to to be patient. I know some of us have waited longer than others and and it truly is heartbreaking, but all you we can do is keep focus, and keep busy in the mean time.

 In the end we have eternity of happiness waiting for us

We're January 25th (Nebraska) and nothing yet as of the 7th November. My wife is from Ireland. I feel like the State slogan when you enter Nebraska should be "Welcome to Nebraska - where dreams go to die!. They are miserably slow. If we were Potomac, we'd already be done with the NVC by now. It's ridiculous.

Is it possible to have files transferred to a diff center or will the wait and up being a longer?

What a useless update from Nebraska.

I was excited because they were finally approving some February filers, but apparently, they reverted to being their usual, useless selves.

 

I'll be hitting 9 months in a week. Some people have been waiting for 11 or longer, an according to USCIS  ''it takes 12 months for approval'' 

Right. Other centers take 6-7 months, but because they can't divide their workload, or they just don't care, we wait a year. Seems super fair. 

 

 

 

About 10 months for me. filed jan 12. Heard nothing back yet

Hi everyone. I know I'm not very active on these forums but I follow them all the time. I love seeing how everyone comes together to support one another as we are all stuck in Nebraska. I'm so glad that we all have somewhere where we can share our stories and frustrations. 

 

We are currently at 310 days of waiting (PD 12/6) and I've just realized that 4 cases before and after ours have already been approved and sent to DoS. And all the recent Jan approvals just make you realize that there really is no method to this madness and this process is far from fair. 

 

Maybe it is true that those of us who filed 1-129F (K3) along with our I-130 are being delayed. What's funny is that most of us who filed the K3 did so on the advice of our lawyers. I paid my lawyer nearly $1000 to file the I-129F, just to find out that it will be terminated and is likely slowing down our case. When we first started this process, our lawyer told us that the I-130 process would take 3-6 months but the K3 would be approved sooner and allow my husband to come home and wait out the process. What a joke that is. I honestly wish we never hired a lawyer at this point. All she's done is charge us thousands of dollars for false hope and incorrect advice. From what I've seen in the forums, most of you who went through a lawyer feel the same way. Not to mention, whenever we contact our lawyer it's as if we are a burden to her and do nothing but bother her. 

 

What's really sad is that a lot of us were waiting for last months processing update with hopes that we would find that they are finally working within range of our PDs and that we would be able to file an inquiry. Now the next update is just a few days away and it still feels like we haven't gotten any closer. I've been keeping busy lately but the fact that we are past 10 months of waiting is always in the back of my mind. I'm happy for the Jan filers who have been approved recently, but seriously? Why is Nebraska skipping past all of us Nov/Dec filers and approving Jan already? I keep telling my husband that, at this point, I wouldn't even be upset if we got an RFE. At least it would mean that someone has actually touched our case and from what I've seen, people who get an RFE get an approval soon after USCIS receives their additional evidence.

 

It's sad that there is absolutely nothing we can do. Contacting USCIS is useless; if anything it just frustrates me even more. Our lawyer filed an inquiry but I'm sure we will get the generic "we are performing background checks" or something along those lines. So all we can do is wait and hope that October is our month. I've been saying for months that it's so hard to see the light at the end of this tunnel and the longer we wait, the worse it gets. I can't imagine how all of you, that have been waiting longer than we have, feel. I honestly hope you all get your approvals before we get ours. It's only fair that those who filed before us are approved first. 

Our pd is Jan 12 and still havnt heard any news yet. Seems like the later January filers are getting approved and in not sure why?

As for lawyers, our lawyer ignored our phone calls for a month and half :/ he's pretty useless too.

Do they not go in order of dates applied? Or does anyone know how this work?  

Hi there,

Have any Jan filers got i130 approvals yet? We got a notice saying they receivrd our petition back in Jan 12 2017 and still haven't heard anything back.  We know Nebraska's been behind but this is really behind.  Anyone know any other news ?

Nebraska is not affected by the hurricane at all.

 

You can try downloading the USCIS app, in the nearby section enter your LIN number and see if there are others with the same date still awaiting approval.

Im really new to this so im learning as i go. The app is helpful. Thank you for the tip.

If it says " status was received " 

Have they started looking at the case yet or is it still sitting in line?

My husband applied for i130 in Jan and we got the notice on Jan 12 that they received it.  It just seems such a long time already. 

Our lawyer has been saying oct I should be all ready, but we havnt passed this i130 petition yet.

My husband and I are married, long story short I had to come back to Canada and we got an immigrations lawyer. He  filed the i130 and the visa concurrently to the Nebraska location in January and we received a notice indicating they received our case for i130 not long after.

We haven't heard much since except the lawyer saying "we are right on tack " but still no info other than that.

Hi there

My husband is a us citizen and I am a Canadian citizen. We applied for the i130 in mid January but havnt heard back yet.  I have been reading some threads saying it's much longer now ( 8-10) months. Is this true? 

What's next after the i 130? And how long would the wait be? 

The waiting game is really difficult for us, so I'm just here seeking some answers. 

Hi abirash 

I was wondering if you have heard back yet?  I too applied back in January, but havnt heard back on my i130 yet.
