Thank you everyone!

if you guys received a hard copy from nebraska. dont go on that. the statuses are more true. this is what i understood. nbc transfered mine to nebraska

i received text that case is transferring. (which should be to nebraska)

next day i received a msg that file transfered to lcoal office and has jurisdiction over my case ( which meant nebraska didnt take it or transfered it )

then i received a final message that it was transferred

later, after all this i received a hard copy from nbc that case was transfered to nebraska. but that was the original letter that i received later.

status messages were more accurate in my case.

Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Filing for a USC spouse visa (IR-1/CR-1) and not sure what comes next? Check out the VJ IR-1/CR-1 guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.

Congrats Annie1!! I am really happy for you. So your case got approved at a local office or at Nebraska? The last status you got was your case was transferred to a USCIS office, not a local one, correct? And that was what the hard copy said? So I am wondering why you think your case got approved at a local office..Sorry, I think I am totally confused :)

I got the 3 notices too:

-being transferred to another office

-being transferred to local office

-transferred to a USCIS office

-hardcopy that it got transferred to Nebraska with a 60 day supplemental

So, is mine at a local office or at Nebraska?

Anyhow..Wishing you a speedy journey to NVC and beyond! Congrats again!!
