I-130 November Filers

[NorrisSF 16]

yeah Nebraska is all over the place!! I don't get it either... let's hope they hurry up and get to our pettitions soon enough...

Next Friday will be four months and still waiting, sighhhhh

NBC just started Sept. Transfers....we will get there.

[Bradrean 15]

Yeah but that's just at NBC right? Nebraska is still spastic with dates. I talked to a tier 1 today (couldn't transfer to tier 2 cuz it was too late) and they said "nebraska is currently on April" I'm like "yeah in December they were. Thats the numbers from Your website as of December" she's like "no those are current" I thought about everyone on VJ calling them zombies and i just rolled my eyes and hung up.

Yes I see quite a few transfers for September today, I am wondering if we will hear something by say April, wishful thinking.

I know, Nebraska is slow, but I do believe USCIS is trying, we can't sit there forever when they want us stakeholders off their back and fix the backlog.

Guys please cheer me up for our November petitions, and tell me what this tier 2 said is just a script:

-I-129f at same time frame as i-130

-ALL centres say it will take 9 months (supposedly she called Nebraska when she put me on hold)

-Nebraska told her they're on April 5 (I told her NUMEROUS times that those numbers are from DECEMBER...) but she insisted that they are on April even now...

-She can't see if there are background checks done yet since it's done "internally".

-When I brought up that we've seen first hand that petitions are getting approved from July and even a few at Nebraska from NOV and that there is no pattern she said "all cases are different"

-and that we Nov filers have 200 something days to wait. She actually said that.

Someone please debunk this...

OH PS--- she F($&$)ing hung up on me too. After waiting for 1.5 hours on hold... She hung up on me when I wasn't finished.

[angeldaemon13 42]

The I129f is obsolete, basically so yes it would be the same time as I130. If I129f gets through it gets paired up with I130.

As for the other stuff, from what I understand, Tier 1 are drones. They are zombies who read a script. All we can do is wait but September transfers have started and some have been approved. Nebraska is very sllllloooooooowwwww but we need to hang in there.

All Centers will say " April" because if they say "September" , they get flooded with calls wondering about their case. They do this as a buffer.

Anyone in November, if you get an approval, please please fill in your timeline, this helps us with estimates.

That makes me feel a bit better thank you!

The sept transfers could mean faster for November? I'm confused.. I guess I came in after transfers so I don't understand that part.

The thing that bothers me the most is that the months are all over the place at nebraska.

It doesn't even seem like there are many in nebraska... Unless there are some people forgetting to update.

Do you have any idea what nebraska is really on? I can't see it on VJ and as we know the USCIS website is always 3 months behind.

[Ingrid28 69]

All I know is that this waiting sucks, April 06, 2014 will make my one year wedding anniversary and it seems as if I will be spending it alone. I miss my husband very much and these people seems not to care, kmt.

[angeldaemon13 42]

I feel for you Ingrid, my son is waiting for me to join him, he is 8 and his birthday is in May. We all want this to be over and quickly. Our day will come!

Bradrean, USCIS, because of the backlog, issued a statement to stakeholders saying for them to clear the backlog to regular months, cases up to November would be transferred from NBC to various centres to help clear delays.

Some have been writing a year, give or take. Although we want ours done and quick, I could not imagine having to wait that long.

That being said, Nebraska is one that normally does not process I130's ( I believe there is another as well but can't remember) and because NBC has been sending out cases to Nebraska, Nebraska is a mess right now.

You are also right in the fact not everyone fills out timeline or some do but never come back or bother to update. That is another factor. I follow the September and October threads to keep an eye on things. First week of September transfers and soon you see approvals. Follow the October thread and keep an eye out on them. This helps me when I get frustrated because I know soon, our time is coming.

[Bradrean 15]

AngelDaemon Thanks so much. It does help keeping an eye on other months.

I was just checking the processing timelines on VJ, set a filter to Nebraska transfers and I see that they are up to Junes! (The pattern or lack thereof goes; april, may may june april may june april) Its all over. But I guess keeping an eye on these things usually helps as soon Junes will be July's and so on then US!

Do you have any guess or idea if they are doing all transfers before they get to Nov/Dec people who went right to the centers? I have been setting filters and trying to figure it out but they seem to go back and forth between approving a transfer person, then one from recent months that got sent straight there.. its totally random maybe? What month are you counting/hoping on getting approval?

I think by May but I do feel it is random. I see somewhere on another topic someone posted that approvals don't seem to be going in order or by Priority Date. I don't think there is rhyme or reason and who knows what tomorrow brings.

I follow the months ahead because it shows how quickly NBC deals out dusty cases as well as service centers and approvals from them. There doesn't seem to be any speedy lines at Nebraska though. Keep in mind, before November, they didn't deal with them. I think soon enough we will see a start of a trickle......

[Bradrean 15]

I hope you're right! May is my hope too, and I think a lot of Nov/Dec filers.

I guess all that we can do is check VJ periodically and try to search for some patterns/keep our eyes on everything. Then just hope for the best.

I agree though, no rhyme or reason haha. Maybe Nebraska will learn how to deal with I-130s and start shoveling them through! Wishful thinking..

Maybe I'll start watching December and January from time to time as well.

I started a thread for Nebraska people of all Months - just to try to find a pattern. Who knows.

[Ingrid28 69]

Someone in our thread needs to create a spreadsheet for our month like the other months here on vj. I am no good at it though lol.
