Hello 😊 What would be considered and "easy one"?

It doesn’t work like that...they must process in order of receipt date. It’s not like they have time to skim through a file and say “oh that one looks difficult I don’t want to do it” common sense they will process the next file in order of date. Of course each file is unique, so some files take longer than others. Example: my husband and I have no children and no divorces. So no having to check the validity of those items. He also has never been to the USA or filled out applications to visit etc. so yes these things all take additional checking.

Yes true.. then they can take longer if they want to check more. But I would think they do the background check before it gets to an officer.

 

  Wow.

How would the background check be done before the case officer looks at it..huh..it’s sitting in a pile waiting to be looked at by the officer. Once they get it they will review the file and run background checks. So not sure what you mean.

I definitely agree.. each case is unique.

We're all waiting.  Just have faith

Once a case is with an officer, I would think it wouldn't be long until an answer right?

 

Some folks are very close.  They're working on end of June and up to July 12th also..

🙏🏼

Once it’s with the officer they do background checks etc. so yes it should process fairly quickly unless they run into a situation where something causes them to dig a little deeper.

Does anyone know what the processing times are Nebraska? any information is appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Matt & Hunter

Still waiting ... disheartening to see July processing while some of us are stuck in May and June 

You are so close now...soon you will move to the next step 🙏🏻 Just remember every case is unique. This is the hardest part of the process, but we are all hanging on. Love is what drives us 🙌🏻

Does anyone know how long to wait for Uscis to send paperwork to nvc? I just wonder how it takes for them to send me a case number. Thank you in advance!

Yeah also read 6-8 for case number but some folks are able to call and get quicker over the phone after four weeks. I know I will be calling once a week when my time comes. LOL

I don’t see that as our responsibility to shoulder. Like I said, don’t let scarcity mentality turn us against each other. I’ve used all the tools available to me to “fight” USCIS.   I wrote congresspeople, senators, media, I tweet, comment on Facebook. Now I’m going to use all of the legal routes available to me and my family.  I think everybody who wants to, should. Throughout our marriage, my husband has visited the US many times. If I wanted to screw the system, we could have him over stay, but I’d never, because THAT is what’s made this so hard for everyone, alone with marriage fraud, etc.,not applying for eligible visas.  

Ok so can you please discuss this in the proper thread instead of hijacking the CR/IR 1 thread. As you know there is a different thread for that route. Can we please move on people. This thread is for updates on I-130. Thanks 

Seems they are working away on July 12th..I see several RFE sent out today  using search number LIN1890519850

I agree, all filing the K3 does is slow down the process for others. In the Facebook group mentioned earlier everyone with a IR1/CR1 at Nebraska is encouraged to apply for a K3 in the hopes their IR1/CR1 will be approved quicker this way. They're expecting the K3 to be denied but the IR1/CR1 to be approved simultaneously. At Nebraska.

Yeah I left that group a while ago. I sensed a lot of hostility which is not productive. It’s ok to vent on occasion..but I’m not into a forum that promotes a negative attitude. 🙏🏻

When I looked at the I-129F for Nebraska, it said K3 spouses are currently taking around 9 months, so maybe there really is a possibility with that for those who are under 9 months since petitioning still... It’s going to be turned into a CR1/IR1 anyways so I don’t see why not

I have read some folks face negative things after trying to do it that way...so I would never take the chance...not worth messing with the correct way to file. All that does is slow down the process for others, which will not get support from me

Yeah agreed..unless you filed recently it’s not worth the paper. I have read some people have issues after doing it.

...What do you guys think might happen if I try to visit the NSC office in person?  I live about 3 hours away by car.  I don't plan to do so, just wondering if I would be able to even get inside.  Honestly, I just think being able to SEE the office from the outside knowing that our futures are sitting somewhere inside would be interesting.  Not sure how I feel about it.  Thoughts?

Hmm maybe they require appt to get in the building? 

41 minutes ago, DGF said:

Honestly I would prefer that. At least I'd know that my wait was still normal and I wouldn't be wondering if my case was lost or in background checks or on a slow officers desk or what without being able to ask for information beyond "case is received" and "within normal processing time" because USCIS doesn't know how to offer an ounce of transparency. 

You haven't called? Tier 2? Hmm..well I would rather be at Texas in your situation. So it's all a matter of perspective!

270 days today, 9 months on Thursday 😔 Nothing but radio silence from TSC, no touches, no RFEs, nothing. Even my usually super chill husband (the petitioner) is starting to get fed up with this. At this point I would take a NOID or even a NOIR just so that we know our file isn't lost and collecting dust somewhere. I'm seeing November filers complaining that they haven't heard anything yet and it's all getting to be too much. It's not even the long wait that is bothering me, it's that almost everyone else (I'm aware of a few exceptions) was approved long ago and we've received nothing but silence. 

30 more days until we can try submitting an inquiry again, although I have no faith that it's not just going to continue to tell us that we're still within normal processing times even when we are days past the inquiry date like it did last time, or that the dates aren't going to have been pushed back again by then. 

Nebraska folks are looking at a year of waiting to have someone look at our applications..9 months today for me.

Sorry to disappoint you all but it seems that Nebraska Service Center doesn't deal with naturalization and only with some specific cases of AOS. They are talking about field offices, not Service Centers. If you look at the average adjustication time for I-130 across all Service Centers, it's probably around 9 months. Nebraska is an outlier. They are trying to reduce overall average processing times all applications included so they are probably starting with the forms that will make a significant difference the quickest.  12 months of wait when you are separated is certainly way worse than 24 months of wait when you are already with your spouse in the US but they don't care about that. All they see is 12 months versus 24 months so they'll try to bring those 24 months down first.

Yep..I agree. Also, USCIS website shows processing average is 10.3 across all SC.

as you said tho unfortunately this plan of action doesn’t help us 😔

Because the media creates a fire about it. So USCIS needs to put out the fire. 

When I see news releases on their website...I always to to the feedback button at the bottom...select no (not helpful) select "other" and then put in a note about the i-130! Lol...makes me feel better

Finally got through to an officer this morning to follow up on 2 inquiries I have sent in ( Nebraska PD 6/25/2018).
He said it was “being reviewed as of 6/6/2019”.. however nebraska messed up my mailing address 😒

Now that I’ve fixed that.. how long can a case be in “review” for approximately? 

Thanks!

who knows as it is different for everyone...each case is unique.

It's possible that there isn't any i130 prior to yours. Might have to do the previous 500. Lol.

 

I have 19 days left until my two month and last trip to the Philippines for awhile.

Yeah I came back from India on March 10th, and now I won't return until the interview. I am so sad as it looks like I won't return until at least January/February as this rate  It's so hard when your spouse is literally on the other side of the planet. Financially and the fact that I only get so many day off work. Folks are so lucky when their spouse is with them or just a short trip away.
