It appears that Nebraska is no longer processing I 129F applications eventhough the directions on the form tell us to send them there ( I live in IL). So, if I understand correctly the application is automatically forwarded to CALIF.

Looking at the recent processing times at the CALIF service center (CSC), the are currently reviewing apps from late April. They are currently experiencing a lag time of almost 6 months !

Now I have heard that when NEB forwards the I 129F to California, they go to a satellite processing location for the CSC located in Van Nuys, CA and therefore it does not take as long.

Is anyone aware of this i.e. the I 129F's forwarded to California are handled differently than the normai I 129F's mailed directly to the CSC ?

Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Forwarding to CSC is normal. Texas and Nebraska no longer process I-129Fs. CSC does not handle anything differently - just with more inefficiency.

CSC is significantly slower than Vermont but the 6 month timeframe you are referring to was due to the IMBRA fiasco (read the IMBRA forum to know more).

Your petition will take between 2-4 months at CSC barring any RFEs or other issues.

Good luck.
