I filed for I-130 for my husband in september 25, 2013. Yesterday ( march 10,2014), i get a letter saying " this is to advice you that in order to speed up processing we have transferred the above case to the following uscis office for processing"..it's Nebraska service center. It will be 6 months on 25 of this month. It is at initial review. How long does it stay on initial review?

...........i applied for fiance visa before. after 22 months, it got denied. we got married since then. This is very frustrating. Any information is greatly appreciated........

Really sorry for your long wait. Initial Review means nothing as you see. It means you are waiting. It stays in Initial review until its adjudicated.

Now you have been transferred and wait some more. NSC is slow as heck but hopefully in a few months something.
