ANY news out of Nebraska?

Seems like Nebraska has come to a dead stop (IMBRA?)

Has ANYONE gotten ANYTHING from Nebraska in the past week or two? Touches? NOAs? Changes to online status? Signs of life?

I´ve been thinking the same about Vermont.

It appears that way.

I got an NOA1 on May 8th. It said that my case would be processed in about 80-110 days.

Somewhere someone posted that they are reorganizing the service centers. Nebraska will no longer be handling K1 visa apps, according to the post. I do not remember where it was. In the K1 forum somewhere I think.

At any rate, this may be the cause for the stoppage at Nebraska and Vermont. Or not I don't know the validity of the post.

well that doesn't sound very promising!

I highly doubt that two service centers would suddenly stop processing K1 visa applications with zero advance notice and no information on their websites . . . but you never know

I can´t believe the bad timing for this IMBRA thing, really, people approved and almost at interview having their stuff sent back to USCIS, people with visa in hand having to undergo new security, geez!

The USCIS web site says nothing of this. THey are still telling you to send petitions there. I think the poster was mistaken.

Just got this from Nebraska's web site.

Here is a cut and paste of the post in question:

"Here is the response that I received from my congressman, today:

"Thank you for sharing with me your thoughts regarding immigration issues.

The legislation to which you referred, the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act of 2005, was not considered in the House of Representatives as a stand-alone bill. Instead, it was included in a much larger bill, the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005, which was approved by the House by a vote of 415-4 on September 28, 2005, and was signed into law on January 5, 2006.

Per your request, I contacted officials at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) service center in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Nebraska service center accepts and processes the applications and petitions from people residing in Minnesota, as well as Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

According to USCIS officials, there has been a slow down in operations at the Nebraska regional service center because of an ongoing reorganization of USCIS field offices. Currently, the USCIS four regional service centers, as the name suggests, process visas and petitions filed in the states within each of the centers’ assigned region. USCIS is restructuring its regional service centers so that each center specializes in certain types of visas and petitions. For example, the Nebraska center processes petitions for alien workers filed across the nation, rather than just in its own service region.

Unfortunately, while USCIS continues its restructuring efforts, we can expect to see more delays. USCIS officials are hopeful that once the reorganization is completed, the service centers will be able to process visas and petitions more quickly and efficiently.

Rest assured that I will continue to monitor the situation."

So far I see no action out of Nebraska since May 4th.... "
