The priority date is stated on your Notice of action 1, that you received in the mail after you filed for I-130. It is a date when USCIS got and entered your case in their system.

So, that is the date from which we start counting our "processing time?"

Thanks for your help.

Hi guys.. as there is nothing happening to i130(02/22/2013) was transferred to nebraska in mid October last year. So I filed 129f(03/06/2023) and on 03/20/2014 it was transferred to local office which is texas. I was thinking 129f will be transferred to nebraska and both case's will be approved at same time. . Any idea or suggestions what is the progress going on in texas.

Same for us but our ARN changed in December. Did you do an I-129f petition as well? I was thinking that's why ours changed in December..because our I-129f got matched up with the I-130.

I haven't had a word since either. I was hoping it meant something :/

Same as mine. Our ARN changed after filling i-129f. Send 129f on 10-march-2014 and ARN changed 19-march-2014. No idea it got changed because of i-129f or wht....

Unfortunately, Texas has become a lot slower in the past week or so. The only really fast center at the moment is California. Nebraska seems to be picking up the pace a little bit, so you might hear about your I-130 before your I-129F.

Wait, hold on, you filed in February last year? What have you done to get on their case? According to Nebraska's own processing times, you are seriously WAY overdue an approval.

To update my crude measure:

This week NSC approved 12 cases, compared to 4 by CSC, 4 TSC and 1 VSC - from those cases registered in the VJ tracking spreadsheet for months June to September only.

There are still 47 pending NOA1 sitting at NSC for these months (10 june,6 july,1 august and 30 from September).

At current rate weekly rate of 12, it will take 3.9 week to go through 47 cases.

I compiled some data from the tracking spreadsheets as a framework to estimate NSC wait times.. NSC approved 13 approvals this week from June to September (i didnt look at other months), compared to 10 from CSC and 2 from TSC . NSC has 49 pending NOA2s from these months. At this rate it will take them 3.8 weeks to approve these if we assume NSC will approve petitions in order (which we know they don't)...

PD month| NSC NOA2 pending (excluding RFE)| NSC approvals| CSC approvals| TSC approvals

201306 12 7 0 1

201307 9 4 0 0

201308 1 0 5 1

201309 27 2 5 0

SubTotals 49 13 10 2

Your formula and estimation is great! But they actually did about 23 from the 17th-20th. It's better to look at the VJ timelines with the filter set to "transfer: nebraska" the spreadsheets aren't as up to date I think, or some people aren't participating.

How many weeks do you think then, with the number of last weeks approvals which is 23?

So according to today's approvals so far, NSC seems to be working on petitions filed around 9/10 and 9/11. They've already approved some from late September though so I don't know if it's not just a coincidence^^

[rishabh1987 10]

pd ; 9/10/13

transfer to NSC : 02/26/14

NOA2 : 3/24/14...

you are correct that people aren't participating in updating. I have went threw and clicked on the names that show they still haven't gotten an NOA2. On some people they have been approved and on others and RFE. Although I have seen only a few saying they still haven't been approved.

[Smoochies2011 19]

so Im guessong that this people is followong to the timeline with new people applying less than 5 months ago but they are not we us ppl who applyed a year and a week ago makes no sense pd date is march 19 2013 how come all this people with same tupe of visa and less time is getting approved we have senator congressman and w.e u cam think helping us but i guess is just about luck USCIS suckzl

[alreadytaken 6]

Do you guys still want an all Nebraska filers spreadsheet? If someone starts it (not so good with excel and don't wanna #### it up) I would put all the information from the other spreadsheets in there...say from june till now or something? Better than sitting here refreshing my USCIS status page over and over again

Edit: we should prolly just put name, PD, Transfer?(date if yes), RFE?, NOA2, and then how long it's been(or how long till transfer or NOA2 if already approved) in there
