Hi all,

I'd like to stay positive too, besides the outlier of June, there is also one approved from September and December last year.

We all know they have backlog, but maybe they are working on both; the month that they at least should work on and the backlog. Tissa could be right, that they choosing the easy ones for now.

But its all speculation in the end, I just really hope for everyone that there will be in change in the efficiency of the process soon. 

What if they just hire all of us to work in their offices, so we can go already and be with our loved ones and in that way help the next batch that is waiting for their NOA2.😋

quick question: Is the NVC part completely digital, or do we have to cut down another tree for all the paperwork?

The dates here are pushed, but on the uscis site the process date is now the 2nd ofJuly last year, so it is actually moving.

Hi all,

We both live overseas, is there a way to file a complaint without contacting senators?

I am so so frustrated, we are super ready to move and start our lives together in the USA.

I am happy to have my husband here with me, but it also creates a way of living we call: in Limbo land.

Let me know how we can help raising our voices toward these crazy process times!

@Rosie91Wow, thanks for the information!  That is very helpful.  Translating the documents myself is definitely simpler.  That is what I'll plan to do then, since you've mentioned that self-translated documents are acceptable.

Your welcome!

Quick question for you, are you moving back earlier than your wife so you can be her sponsor? or do you have some one in the US to be her sponsor?

We are discussing this now at home, what is the best option etc...

let me know!

@Rosie91Thank you for your input.  May I ask, was your information in English already, or did you have to get it translated?

No it was not, we had to translate everything. Since I am native dutch and my English is good enough to translate it we did it ourselves.

Just make sure you add a note to each translation document. It takes a lot of time, but to have it professionally translated is very expensive and unnecessary 

Note example:

I [typed name], certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and ________ languages, and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled ______________________________.

Signature_________________________________

Date Typed Name

hope this helps!

We live together in the Netherlands and provided:

- Marriage certificate

- Joint apartment lease contract

- Joint bank and savings account information

- Joint Insurance information

- Photo's

For me its still a little unclear if everything after NOA2 needs to be uploaded digitally or if I have to cut down another tree and send it the paperwork through mail? 😄

You know what's bad. Spreading rumors. 

 

A health forum isn't evidence that anyone cant get to work. So the logic falls apart. 

 

 

I kind of agree, some people will take this information serious, don't cause panic about stuff if there is nothing to panic about.
Let's just focus on the facts and no speculations.🤭

Guys just so you know apparently Nebraska is in a state of emergency or similar due to immense flooding. 

This mah slow things further 

Did you see/hear anything about this? I did not read anywhere that the flood is influencing the progress.

Curious about your resources !

Nebreska is still processing late April and  May 2018. For last 3 months I see them they stuck in only April month. By seeing their current movement I am thinking its going to get worst. Probaby 14-15 months just to get approved at USCIS  level or can take even longer  if this continue. Another 4,5 months for NVC and embassy level. 24 Months Total will be normal timelines to bring US citizen spouse if petition routed to Nebreska. Man! What is this???

Its crazy that they wont even issue tourist visa for my husband to visit me. Reason of denial: your intention is to become immigrant so we cant issue non- immigrant visa. 

On the other hand K3 visa will take same timeline as cr1. make no sense to apply K3 visa too.

 

May they have employee shortage... God knows what causing them to lag behind. so much discerpency in timelines for same petition. One approving less than 4 months another taking 12 months..really frustating to see all this.. i m so

pissed...

 

 

 

 

Where do you "see" that they are stuck in April?

We sent our packet in and it was delivered on Feb 23rd. It was sent to Chicago lock box. They have yet to cash our checks, which makes me worried! No text or email notification of receipt. Nothing in the mail. 

For us it took a little longer too,  18 days and than we received it by mail.

some people are waiting for 4 weeks, not sure why.

Are you sure your husband is not allowed to travel? if you bring the noa1 or a statement from his employer that he will return I think there is no issue.

Oh dear, if I read this I have a long wait ahead for me and my new hubby!

Filed in feb and the indicator here says we should receive something in December.

But If I read your comments here some are waiting over 14 months!! how did that happen:O. Did they request any additional proof?

Like to hear some thoughts.

Hi everyone,

We finally received the NOA1 in our mail with notice date 21-2.

We are assigned to Nebraska unfortunately I read on the other forums that process time is now taking up to 14 months before receiving a NOA2 from Nebraska!! Anyone any idea when/why this will take this long?

The visa indicator says 7,5/10 months.

Who else is assigned to Nebraska?

I think if there are they are mostly from mid to late May. Unfortunately I don't think many of us will get as lucky to get approved nearly as quickly as the Potomac people. Most Nebraska followers I've seen on here have been taking 9 months for approval usually right now

Hi Lilly, 

I can see our time line is the same, I hope the wait is not too long!

Good luck:)

Still nothing, it was delivered on the 19th, anyone else with a long wait for the notification too?🙄

Hi all,

Me and my husband just recently send the I130(a) on February 14th, delivered on Feb 19th. No notification received so far.

We are both living in the Netherlands and working for an international company and we have the ability to transfer with the company as soon as we leave. Maybe we don't need a sponsor than after all.

Does anyone knows how that works or the possibilities?

Hi all,

Maybe this topic is already ongoing somewhere here, but I could not find it so far.

I would like to meet people who started their application for their spouse (IR-1/CR-1) visa this year 2019.

Maybe we can help each other since some processes changed or taking longer.

Me and my husband just recently send the I130(a) on February 14th, no reply or notification received so far.

We are both living in the Netherlands, he moved here 4 years ago. We have found a sponsor for me since he has no income in the US at the moment.

Does anyone knows how that works or the possibilities?

If there is already a topic for these conversations I would like to hear it too!😊
