Applied: 03/28/2013

Priority Date: 04/01/2013

Transfer notice: 11/14/2013

Goodness me!!! Your transfer date shows that you will be hitting the 90 day mark soon which is way too long and quite unusual...... 60-75 days seems the average time at Nebraska...Going by the trend it appears Nebraska is currently working on late April - early May filers.... Almost 90% of the early and mid April filers have been approved except for a few RFE cases pending..... Its about time you start ringing the alarm bells.... You certainly need to step up the gas paddle....Speak to a tier 2, open a service request (if not done before)..... Contacting a congressman/senator are other options available......

You also need to consider if there might be any complications to your case that might needs any additional checks which can lead to delays...... Previous marriage & divorce, petitioning for the 2nd or 3rd time, over stay during previous visits could all lead to delays...... You are the best judge about your case....

Yesterday I got an email from USCIS notifying me that my address has been updated. (No, my address hasn’t changed. This notification appears to be a glitch in the USCIS system that happens when they’re getting close to approval date.)

Today I got a text message and email, notifying me that my I-130 has been APPROVED. Hallelujah. It’s wonderful and mind-numbing at the same time.

I’ve updated my timeline and the Google spreadsheet.

My receipt date was 4-29-2013, and my priority date was 5-1-2013.

I was transferred to NSC on 12-5-2013.

I was approved on day 63 after being transferred, and 282 days after I filed (approximately 9.3 months). No expedite, no RFE.

Congrats to everyone else who’s been approved - and for all of those who haven’t yet gotten approved, my heart goes out to you. Hang in there!

Helle YouAskedYouKnow! I also got an email last night saying that the address has been updated. Are you sure they haven't changed anything? Did you call them?

Thanks and congrats!

Congratulations!! You get to hang out and wait a while more now... it's currently taking about 6 weeks to get a case number. Count on ~2 weeks for your case to turn up at NVC, and then another 20 business days (i.e., one month) for them to assign you a number. Head on over to the Feb NVC filers thread and start studying up! Congrats again :)
