So they are transferring files that have been sitting in Nebraska for a few months? I thought they only transfer in the beginning....

Apparently Nebraska is quite overloaded after all. A lot of transfers lately. On the other that's a good sign, less cases=less processing time. Let's hope we all get approved soon.

That's good if you are transferred to an office that is not overloaded with cases. I just fear I'm going to the bottom of the pile again and need to wait 4 months again for approval.

I really don't think it works that way. If they're officially telling that processing time is 5 months, it's obvious that they will try fit into that time frame.

This looks the same as when the Texas files were transferred last October and November. They were transferred to Potomac and bred up waiting over 8 months for approval. Let's hope that wherever Nebraska transfers the cases to is better organised than Potomac was at the end of last year.

People who filed in August and September last year weren't approved until May of this year.

My wife filed a I-130 petition for me on May 10th. It was accepted on May 13th. She is living with me right now out of the USA. Since then we received the email update letting us know that it was accepted. It was sent to Nebraska and we received a receipt number. We were told that the physical NOA1 would come in 7-10 days. And we would be able to check the status online between that time frame. It never worked. So we called the USCIS and they told us to wait up to 45 days. We did that. It is still not updated. So she called again and they just said it was pending. We called another time and they said that there is a lot of files being sent to Nebraska and to wait. Today is August 4th and we have been waiting ever since and it still does not work. It has almost been 3 months and it is still unable to check the status of the case. We have things in storage in America right now that we are paying for every month that we cannot use until we both go back to the U.S including a vehicle. It is ridiculous. How can we get through to someone to get his process over with already because we both know the NOA2 takes the most amount of time.

Unfortunately you still have quite a ways to go until this process is over. They say the entire process takes a year to complete, and that if you don't run into any problems.

To give you some perspective, I received my NOA1 on April 13 and still haven't heard anything. There are still many cases from March and even some from February that are still waiting as well. Sadly there is no way to speed things up. It's a game of patience.

I understand that but everyone is different. There are people that got accepted within weeks and they applied well after I did. There are also ways to expedite that I have read about.

You will notice that almost all of those approved very quickly are for beneficiaries from the Philippines. That's just how it is, I'm afraid.

Regarding expedites for hardship, they are rarely granted but it doesn't hurt to try. If you feel your situation is causing extreme hardship, then there's nothing to stop you from asking for an expedite. But be advised that the cost of storage will not be a reason to expedite. For those of us living in different countries from our spouses we are maintaining two households - 2 rents, 2 light bills, 2 vehicles, 2 internet bills, and so on. But that is not a reason for an expedite to be granted.

Be thankful you can spend this time with your spouse. I'd wait years for Nebraska to approve me if I could wait with my husband.

We're both young. I actually just came back from college. I couldn't finish because of that but it is worth the time with my wife. I do love her very much . She does miss her home country and she would love to spend that time with me there. It is terrible to be restricted like I am right now. It is not like I can go with her for the fun of it. I do not have any visa period right now. Everyone is different. I met her over 9 years ago and we first moved in 3 years ago. We have been out of the US for over 2 years now. My wife is only 21 right now so over the past 3 years it was kind of a hold on our plans for the future. It is not like we are at the age where we have that financial stability or job security yet.
