Hi quick question, are medium size backpacks allowed into the London embassy? 
 

thanks

I waited 10 long weeks for Nebraska to send my case to NVC, now I’m over 4 weeks at NVC and no ceac number yet, I think I’m the exception, most people don’t take that long!! 

IR5 

PD 7/9/2018

noa2 6/20/2019

We had the same thing when we came 5yrs ago, we worried about it too, embassy didn’t care, no one asked about it, we filed 3yrs in one go just before our interview and took copies, they didn’t even want to see them, I very much doubt they will care, good luck!

It can take 2-4 months for NVC to receive and assign you a case number .  I learned this through the experiences of other VJ members and from my own sibling's application processing.

Not normally for IR1 or ir5  from Nebraska,  most cases get transferred in 2-3 weeks, I feel deeply unlucky, even NVC reckon max 6 weeks to reach them for my case type. 

Has anyone else experienced this. My approval after a years wait in Nebraska was 6/20. Just spoke to tier 2 officer at uscis and file still not sent to NVC 😭😭😭 why?? Anyone else went or going through long delay in case transfer like this??

This is very sad, and uscis is really no help. Did you get the approval letter? Or just uscis telling you you e been approved? 

Yes I have approval letter, no update online since July 2018! I’m so upset, I keep seeing people get there CEAC numbers who where approved after me and my case still hadn’t been sent! Is there no end to the Nebraska pain 😪

You need to inform NVC that it’s been 6 weeks so they can investigate. 

Yes I have, they told me “no time limit on how long it takes to investigate” so demoralized 

So Nebraska finally approved me after a year on 6/20. Now 6 weeks later NVC have still not received it, uscis tier 1 agent say all they can see is my case approved nothing else, my case still says “received” last year online, new acct. Have not gotten call back from tier 2 uscis officer even though tried for over a week! Help me! Anyone else stuck in Nebraska and case not even sent to NVC!??? I’m losing my mind at this point. My citizenship got stuck in a black hole for 6 months longer than it should have and feel like the same thing is happening again!!! I’m at the crying stage!

Yes, but today I'm feeling it. Oh boy.. living in India, so my day here is 5:20pm. We are one day ahead of US time.

I'm like at the end of my rope.

How can I call.. hmm I can call my mom who lives in Florida

And maybe she can call.. I don't have the money to call from here. I only sent a service request.

 

Side note, I'm also seriously considering to expedite at nvc.. once I get done with this darn i130, if I ever get done 🙇🏻‍♀️ giving up slowly.

I have some financial hardships here in India. Place to stay, money issue, food I'm buying is just really poor, going Nepal every 6 months take $500. Have loans also from my cosmetology school. Darn.

For all of those who can fall under some expedite criteria for NVC should consider it.  I heard it's easier to get that. I'm still not sure.

Maybe your mom could call and ask to speak to tier 2 officer, good luck, I'm sure you are very close!

Saci Singh you should call today, you are very close I am sure, I actually called Friday at 8am and asked to speak to tier 2 officer and they told me I was approved on Thursday, didn’t quite believe it until letter yesterday, the website still not updated!

Sooooooooooo Approval for July 9th in the house!! IR5 mother, Received via letter today, website and App still not updated, says approval was 6/20 so last Thursday!! I’m very happy, but feel the pain of those still waiting, it will happen for you too, Best of luck fellow Nevada sufferers x

Nebraska 😆 not Nevada!!! Can’t even believe I put that, 1yr wait and have clearly lost my mind!!! 

Just now, USPLATINUM said:

You are probably right, but this waiting is making us so desperately willing to believe. I’m not sure if there is any difference in the processing times between I-130 for spouses and parents. I filed for my mother, PD date Sep.21, 2018.

I know how it is, my I-130 is for my mother too, I’m almost at a year wait and I found that site a while back and wanted to believe it, but it’s just made up figures. Annoying that someone would do that! Nebraska is torture for us all, stay strong!

The site is called am22tech.com. It has information about all centers processing times. As I said, it sounds too good to be believed.

That site is utter rubbish! Sorry

1 minute ago, My wife and I said:

Thank you!

Ok guys! I received my NOA2 yesterday! Notice date is 2/12 and my original priority date is 07/02

which Service centre? Texas, Nebraska, Potomac?

Info pass today, guy tells me I have been stuck "in Limbo" in system since they scheduled and de scheduled interview within 1 minute back in November, he says he has now put me back inline for interview, back of Jacksonville queue of course. Said I "might get a letter about an interview late May/early June! He was nice and seemed to efficient, but I have lost confidence in what anyone tells me now, as I have had 2 info passes and spoke to 3 tier 2 agents on the phone since my status changed on line to "we scheduled your interview" back on 3rd Nov and no one has told me that the system has messed me up and that Ive been in Limbo but him! Don't really know what to feel

384 days since I sent in my N400 application. Still no interview.  

So Sorry, I'm super fed up too, have info pass tomorrow, but not hopeful, last time they just said carry on waiting! almost a year for me too  Jacksonville office , NBC.

early May  I feel like its the NBC numbers that are slowest, are you an NBC?

also are you guys still waiting a year or so like me all NBC numbers?

So I went to game night at my neighbours last night and another neighbour who is Polish and I encouraged last year to go for Citizenship, applied online in Feb this year in Jax my office and has his interview next week he told me!!!!!!!!!! I nearly burst out crying, of course he had no idea of my frustrations of waiting a year and nothing!!!! How can this happen, its all so unfair

Thanks for replys guys! Its nice to moan to someone else apart from my husband! I know you understand the frustration of waiting and having no answers! Will keep checking in, hoping you hear soon too.
