Hi All! I've been away for quite awhile! Was too depressing reading and waiting!

Noa 1 was 12 Apr 13, same as Ticos girl,

My case was transferred 27 Nov. To TSC

On 3 jan received an RFE fort wife's birth cert. w/translation.

Sent it in on 31 jan (as my wife was visiting me and had it at home in Germany)

They received it 27 January.

Today at 5:29 PM (hawaiian time)....,just 9 days after receipt of my RFE.....

APPROVED!!!!!!

I believe my congress women's rep is

having a small affect on them, as

congresswomen, Tulsi Gabbard is a

big wig in the dept of homeland security!

Ticos Hal..... You are Next!!!!

PS, I'll update my timeline as soon as I wake up my wife

And where do they go to check all this info?

http://www.visajourney.com/content/adjudicator-q-and-a

Before I answer your question, I need to say this because I haven't said it already and I wouldn't want to mislead people. I worked other petitions besides the I-129's or (hunny-bunnies as they were affectionately referred to). But the process is the same, same databases, same checks etc... Everything in the system works the same as far as the processes and the flow of work. If you walked through the NSC it's a maze of cubes and everyone has the same type stuff in their cubes, the same file folders etc.... It's just what's inside the folders that's different.

But everything is scanned and routed around the various Service Centers the same. So, Nebraska does it the same way Vermont does or California or wherever. I can't speak to the District Offices or the Consulates. They may have their own way of doing things, but as an organization/agency there were standard operating procedures for handling and processing cases. We all use basically the same "system" and "tools".

That having been said... I could crank out an "approval" in about 15 minutes depending upon the complexity of the petition. I recall that we'd love to see those large family petitions with the little kids. Why? Because once you clear the mom and dad, the kids went really fast and you could get several "credits" very quickly that way instead of having to do the equal number of "individual" petitions for the same amount of "credits". But you have to be fast and thorough, because its your job to be fast and thorough you might say...

Late April filers @ Nebraska!!!

I can tell for sure that Nebraska is currently working on last week of April and 1st week of May files with a transfer date of 3rd December. I have been observing majority of the NSC approvals since last week and this week and there seems to be a clear trend... there were 3 April 29th approvals last week and all had a transfer date of 3rd Dec... Like wise yesterday and today altogether we had 3 early May approvals from Nebraska with a transfer date of 3rd Dec....

I believe people like zamsha and a few more early May filers with a transfer date of 12/3 can expect an approval from Nebraska in the next few days......

My transfer date is 12/4 similar to people like Atrain, SJ&BB and quite a few other early May filers... We stand next in the queue and hopefully could expect an approval in the next 10 t0 15 days if Nebraska sticks to this trend.... The next few days should tell the story.. Lets keep our eyes open guys!!!

Finally got response to K3 service request....

The status of this service request is:

On 01/17/2014, you or your representative contacted USCIS concerning your I-129F to notify us that you believe your case is outside of our normal processing time. Below is a summary of what we found and how the issue has been or may be resolved.

We have placed your case on a processing hold because the required security checks remain pending. Until we receive the results of these security checks, we cannot move forward on your case. We require the results of security checks before we make a decision on any pending case.

We cannot predict when we will receive the results of these security checks. Please be assured that we will make every effort to make a decision in your case as soon as the security checks are complete.

We hope this information is helpful to you.

It is not helpful. How long can a damn security check take?
