Yea, they have had our petition for 225 days now. Slow process getting there. Did you also file the I-129?

We thought about it, but it wouldn't have really helped by the time I would have been able to get it in.

I just wanted to give an update for everyone still waiting at Nebraska. We got our approval after 357 days!

NOA1 12/21/18

NOA2 12/13/19

Mailed to NVC 12/31/19

Best of luck to everyone! There is light at the end of the tunnel! Now for the fun of waiting on NVC 🤦🤷

I was NOA1 12/17/2018, and I got my approval two days ago. So keep your heads up! I'm sure yours will come in just the next few days.

Awesome! I just got our approval today! 360 days! 😳

Hello, anyone here from the Nebraska Service Center with a December 2018 I130 submission? I have only received the NOA1 and still waiting for NOA2... 

 

This topic might be more helpful. It's for all Nebraska filers. Welcome to the craziness of Nebraska! I'm right there with you 😊

Yes, but considering working in a different country, USCIS just may ask for them. Especially since he will cross daily for work.

 

A person can get in trouble in same country they work at just as well as country they live in.  See my logic in that?  Again not implying anything with your husband.

Yeah, that makes sense. And no worries...i know you aren't 😊

Not worth a risk of a delay with additional back ground checks.  

Plus I believe,  he will have to get a police report from there also for the interview since its a different country then where the interview will take place.

 

Best wishes on your immigration journey. 

 

Aren't police reports only needed if you live in the country?

Yes, could complete back ground check, please don't that this wrong, but Syria is a hot spot for ISIS.

I'm not implying anything against your husband with ISIS.

Yeah... I've been thinking the same thing. It's great there is progress with the border opening, but thinking it's not worth the risk of a denial.

My husband is wondering about crossing the border in to Syria daily from Jordan to work. Will this affect his chances of being approved for the CR1/IR1?

I was just reading the instructions for the K3 and it asks for passport photos of both of us...how do you get that when your spouse is in another country? I don't remember having to send them for the I130.

This is promising. In an attempt to benefit from this also, we've recently submitted our 129-f (pd of june 17), while our i-130 pd is only dec 31 2018, so I hope this pattern holds, since hoping for a performance improvement at Nebraska is unrealistic.

Our NOA1 is Dec 21, 2018....maybe we should give the K3 a try too. I going to visit my husband in about a month, so if i send it now maybe we can get lucky and get an approval while I'm there by our anniversary...i can dream lol

Wow congrats!! They should have updated online but what's going on with them.

 

My pd is July 13th..  my mom called yesterday and spoke to an officer, he said he had some information for my case number but he cannot give her. He will only give the petitioner or beneficiary.🙏🏼🤞🏼

How can I call, it's very expensive in India.

I'm praying for mines 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Have you looked in to magicjack? It's fairly low cost and gives you a US phone number that you can call from and receive calls to. I think you can handle calls through their app now after you enroll. It's been awhile since I've used it so i don't know where all it works now 😊

We got approved 2 weeks ago, so it moved a little in Nebraska. Maybe you can hope.

Yeah...but that's a rarity. They are mainly working on June/July right know according to the Nebraska group and timeline searches. I won't hold my breath for now 😊

Filed in November, our priority date was Dec. 5th, 2018. We were APPROVED June 19, 2019. Texas Service Center! Hang on there!!!!!! I got the email this morning at 4:30 am.

Congrats! I'm happy for you and hope the rest of your journey goes quickly and smoothly! Our case is in Nebraska, so we are looking at 11-12 months before getting an NOA2 😵 At this rate, it might just be better to wait till after our 2 year anniversary for him to come so he can get his 10 yr green card instead of the 2 yr...what's a couple more months at that point lol I've decided with Nebraska I'll just try to keep laughing to avoid crying 😊

In my December filers forum someone posted this: "NOA1 on 14 December 2018 and we got approved on 4 June 2019 when processing in NSC!"

I responded to get more details on how!! I'll update once i know more 😊

I just got a response:

"We tried to expedite in February but was denied as the case “was not strong enough”. After that, we sent I-129F (K3) in March. Nothing more. They approved I-130 on 4th and denied I-129F on 5th, reason of that denial is obvious..."

That's amazing, since they are mostly still working on June 2018.

How? Did you expedite it, get a congressman or something involved, or what? Us fellow Nebraska filers would love to know!!

Same thing from NSC but rolled back to May. Now it's a year wait for NOA2. I can't stop wondering why do we have to have such unlucky destine 😥

We're in Nebraska too. The only positive i can focus on is the possibility of my husband getting a 10 year green card instead of the 2 year since he probably won't receive his visa till after our 2 year anniversary. I've stopped watching most of the other service centers to not go crazy.

This is outrageous, it makes me want to scream. But at the same time i think that maybe they just found another pile of files near the bathroom or the likes. I dont even enter the group "all fillers december 2018" because i feel i will be the lat one to receive the noa2. And remembering when my lawyer said that it would take 8 to 12, i thought she was exaggerating... little did i know that she was being optimistic. This is so wrong

We're December 2018 also and most of the group I'm on for December filers are approved, so i know the feeling. At least we have fellow Nebraska people here that understand the REAL struggle on waiting. I also try tip believe that everything happens for a reason...i just wish i could figure out what it is that I'm supposed to get done before my husband comes so i could this reason taken care of lol I just try to keep laughing to avoid crying or going crazy 😵

1 to 1.5 years.....?!? So those of us at Nebraska are likely to get our NAO-2 after those at Potomac already have visa in hand. 

I guess the only positive is that they'll probably get their 10 yr green card at that point instead of the 2 year, but still infuriating 😞

Hum! The thread is called:

"(I-130) Dec 2018 Applicants"

So I thought it was for anyone who filed an I-130 in Dec 2018 irrespective of their center! Where do you see that it's for Nebraska only?! and if so, where do I find the one for TX?

Thanks!

This one is for all December filers. The one i shared is for all November filers.
