ALL Nebraska I-130 Filers

I wonder if I'll receive an NOA2 before Christmas

I'm starting to feel the same way.

Hope this week is your week.

I just called today. NOA-1 date of December 24 and I was told that they are working on December 2 petitions now and to call back in a month. What might be going on? (I-130)

They lied to you clearly cause my PD date is Dec 11th. I got approved in May along with a few other ppl that has Dec dates and Jan dates.

Thank you. But I almost lost every hope for a June approval. I don't even check as much as I used to.

Wednesday is our 150 day mark :-)

I am beginning to think we will go to the full 5-month mark.

You might still be approved before that. Our full 5 month mark is in a few hours now...

Out of curiosity, does anyone know why people from the Philippines get their I-130 petition expedited? Judging from posts and timelines, their petitions are usually approved between two weeks to two months. Just curious!

It is because they had a very bad typhoon in the Philippines years ago.

Why that means their parents can join them quicker than I can move to be with my husband is anyone's guess. And why this measure should still be in place is also a mystery.

Thanks for the information. I agree 100%. I had seen a few posts which mentioned this "favored" treatment, so I did a simple analysis of Nebraska APPROVED time lines. I see several Philippines I30s with NOA1 dates in April.

...and a total of 2 approved I130s with NOA1s in May 2016......both from Phillippines.

Oh well......the waiting continues.....

It's the IR-5s that get me... IR-5 is for the parent of a grown adult. Why do grown adults need their parents with them more than I need to be with my husband? It's shocking that overseas wives and children wait longer than some parents. I was hospitalised last year for neurological treatment where brain surgery was being considered. But no expedite for me.

It really gets me too....I don't see why they receive a favoured treatment. Why not for Nepal where they had a terrible earthquake? Nepal is just an example and I could give many more but I think that the expedite system granted to Filipinos might also be political...

Totally political. Trying to assuage their guilt for the occupation.

Hey there! I know it seems really unfair because we all just want to be with our husband/wives and some countries just get expedited. The process is too long and frustrating. Hope you hear from Nebraska soon <3 I don't know why they slowed down.

Do you know if the adjusticator can deny your i130 for being in a same-sex relationship? I mean based on his/her personnal belief.
