This process make us sick it's take to long really. But what we can do nothing. Mine almost 15 months. Still waiting NVC accept my documents. Hopfully I will hear some good news next week. 

Thank you. But, our NOA 2 was June of 2019. We are STILL waiting on NVC to approve (or deny so we can fix them) my Affidavit of Support and tax documents. They approved all of her documents months ago now. Sept or Oct I think. Dec 10th will be 17 months and we haven't even started with the medical and interview yet. This whole process has been absolute hell...

Thanks fo sharing. Super frustrated about the randomness of getting assigned to Nebraska .... But looks like I’ve lots of company on this thread .... 

We got our NOA 2. Hope you will soon too!

I wrote a review immediately after interview.
You can check my timeline.
As for documents, just my birth certificate, police certificate, marriage certificate, passport and evidence of a bona fide marriage.
That's all.
 

The feeling is indescribable!
Dream come true.

Passport with VISA in hand.
Destiny Fulfilled!
If God can do it for us, He will certainly do it for you too.

Our CEAC status just changed to "ISSUED"
Finally we can put this chapter behind us and start planning our future.
That means my sojourn in Yaounde ends today.
Been here since Monday.
Leaving for my base in Douala immediately after collecting passport at 15:00.
 
Thank you all for the love and support.
We couldn't have done this without you all.
 
It's US today, tomorrow it will be YOU.
❤️
 

I completely agree! Nebraska is very slow and no given explaination. Our I-130 has been there since May 30 and our I-129f has been there for 38 days and nothing! It's very frustrating and strains a lot of relationships. The processing times for all other service centers is most assuredly half the time and it's so unfair.

We've seen people say this countless times and now it's our turn to say the magic word "APPROVED".
Went in 7:30 a.m and by 9:30 a.m I was on my way.
Asked to come collect passport tomorrow at 3pm.
All's well that ends well.
Keep the faith. Yours will go smoothly like ours.

It’s been such a frustrating ride. Im here to talk my heart out because a year went by rather politely for our relationship but now its getting extremely tough for the both of us! 
NVC recieved our case on the 9th of October. But we couldn’t upload our documents for 10 days as the website was down. As soon as the website was up and running we uploaded everything. 
seeing people getting DQed the next day gave us so much hope. Since then I’m seeing people getting DQed everyday even those who sent their documents after us. I’m happy for them, but it disheartens me too when i check my email and theres no update from the NVC. 
Everyday we keep checking our email to see if NVC has reviewed our documents. Somedays 30 times.  Not to forget the added fear of a delay if God-forbid theres an error in one of the documents. 
This hasn’t just caused anxiety and depression but its also causing a strain on our relationship. 
 
Its a request to all of you, please pray for us. I’m praying for you all too. 🙏 
 

Finally we got NO2 from NSC toady after 12 months. PD Nov 23, 2018. 

I've never been so sick of dealing with anything in my whole life as I am dealing with this process. We are 16 months and 1 day in and no chance of her being here by Thanksgiving and very little chance of having her here by Christmas. I've already run the gamut of emotions and just at numb feeling now... I've been pissed beyond words, I've been sad, I've been pissed, I've felt helpless, I've been pissed. Now I don't really even know what to say at this point. I'm just so ready for it to be over. I haven't taken a day off work since June of 2018 because I've been saving them for her arrival. Now I have to burn it all the end of the year for nothing and then likely burn at least half of next years vacation Jan of 2020 when she does finally get to come here.
NVC seriously denied my documents 1st time the 1st time because my Affidavit of Support was a old version because they took so long to approve it they had a new version with an extra page. They denied it because I didn't randomly know this and put a BLANK sheet of paper at the end, nor did they give a specific reason why they denied it. I double checked and resent it because I tried calling for 9 days 38-45 times a day with no luck and got impatient. Got through a few days later and found out why it was denied but I can't fix it until they deny it again. They told me they would deny it. My congressman called and they also told him they would deny it so I could fix it. 3 weeks today after telling us both that they would and STILL not denied! Has me pissed all over again... My wife is taking it even worse than me. It really is taking years off our lives! 
This post serves no purpose other than for me to vent...haha 
 
Well, for a little purpose in this post...haha  What do you all do to deal with the stress of this #######?

I hear you... we just resubmitted as well and I'm sick to my stomach if I even consider the thought of getting a document rejected a second time. The upload system is crud and more than a little subjective on the reviewing end.
 
Staying busy is key, even when you're tired of distracting yourself. It's the only way we will make it out alive! I've been playing around with learning some Lithuanian in my down time, to make family visits to his home country easier. It's also Christmas shopping time, and picking out a small gift I can carry in my suitcase for a Christmas visit was fun. (You could also pack a Christmas box to mail, if you won't be able to visit! That's what I did last year.) Whatever you do, don't let it eat you up. I was so down after the first document rejection, and my husband said "we will beat them, no worries!" He's right. Everything is eventual. Just like getting past the USCIS stage was.

In the end this is all that matters. 
 
Looking into the eyes of your spouse and knowing you did everything humanely possible to be together. 
 
Those that want to wait are content with waiting and knowing they ignored a method to be with their loved one sooner. They can live with themselves that's cool too. 
 
Time can be spent, or wasted but once it's used it's gone forever. Time can't be gained or traded. And you never know how much time you got. 
 
Unless you're holding out on society and found a way to create more time in life. 
 
I definitely not going to waste time waiting for inefficient govt agencies. That's why I made all the noise to get my petition pushed forward. Calling out Nebraska SC mismanagement. I sure wasn't going to sit on my hands. When the k-3 things started I went on a two month trip and I was going to file it as soon as I got back but no need on my case. I probably annoyed the right folks with all those USCIS and dhs employee emails I sent. 
 
So in reality I skipped the line by being an annoying a hole
 
Spend your time wisely and take advantage of any avenue to not waste time. Unless you found a way to create it and are cool with looking into your spouse eyes and letting them know you did your best. 
 
Govt works for the citizen. Being obedient was not an option. I made sure in my case I didn't wait unnecessarily.

God never forgets anyone.
He knows what you're going through.

He listens to your prayers.
If He can do it for us, He's going to do it for you as well.

Thank you friend.  I know God will make a way... I know I'm facing a little hard time now.  But I'm positive.  
 

I don’t see how timelines are useless just because of K3s. If you see an early approval, check their timeline notes to see how, since many I’ve seen usually explain it if they used I129f or expedited, or if they don’t have it in the notes, you can always just message and ask. Not a big issue, really. Honestly it’s especially useful because you can see how they got it to be faster. Plus like JMPM already said, timelines are still useful for NVC and embassy. If you don’t like the timelines on here because of K3 filers you can always just check USCIS’ timelines instead 🤷‍♀️
