May 2014 I-130 Filers

[shippingforecast 126]

I know..but when you have $421.85 in your checking account and your waiting for the $420 check for I-130 fee to clear your praying for netflix etc. not to debit your account...lol

I was quite relieved...HAHA!

I could imagine! Cutting it quite fine there...

Hi guys,

Some bad news for those of us with the Nebraska Service Center. I've checked the processing dates and it looks like the processing times have skyrocketed by two months. It's now the slowest performing Service Center of the four. I think a lot of I-130s have been routed and transferred there, and I've seen another K1 thread that suggests 129Fs are being transferred there too for fiancé visas.

Anyone have any further info? I think I've officially given up on getting there in time for Christmas. Time to start planning a job for when I make the move to Wales!

DAMMIT! Ah well. Maybe the wait time will go back down. Maybe we'll get lucky. *sighs* I just have to keep reminding myself. This time last year, this journey was impossible for me. I was never going to get to live with her. Now it is, however long it takes.

If it can go up that quick, it can come down just as quick too. PMA my friend... PMA. Someday we'll laugh about this.

Ugh, I doubt I'll ever laugh about it, but one day it will be a distant memory. I just want to go hooooooooome.

Hi everyone,

Sent my I-130 package via mail on May 24th to Phoenix lockbox. USPS delivery confirmation states package got delivered on May 27th. Haven't received NOA1 yet :-( Signed up for Text/Email notification also. Any advice on approximate date for NOA1 please ?

About 7 - 9 days at the moment, dependent on where it's routed to;

Hey i mailed my packet on may 22nd and i just received my email/text NOA1. I got it today May 30 at 12:05am. Didnt think i would get a email and text at midnight i was shocked but overall it looks like its taking roughly 8 days for a response. You will get it either tomorrow or monday. Maybe even this weekend. But its coming.

Completely agree with Gondola on that, although it's a way off there's plenty more to pay and prepare for. I've pretty much completed my NVC package now, just need my immunisation records for my medical and I think I. Have everything prepped.

I'm other news, today is the second day I've had norovirus so I'm cooped up in my bed, vomiting every few hours... So tired!

You should both add this info into your timelines to help out with processing data and stats.

I added the info in the timeline... How much time takes to received the NOA2?

our I130 was recieved by USCIS on 22nd. Got email and text notification on 26th night. The email stated to wait for 7 to 10 days for hardcopy of NOA1.

That's the subject of much speculation. The USCIS processing timeframe is within five months. Current processing times from NOA1 to NOA2 are listed here;

Though again this isn't 100% accurate due to incomplete timelines and as another member on this thread pointed out, VJ members representing only a very small proportion of visa applicants.

Just another update for those of you at Nebraska, according to the processing stats it seems like we were just experiencing a temporary spike of some kind; it's since fell back to 150 days for I-130 processing and is now the fastest center again.

I think the lesson we can take from this, considering that the information changed so drastically over the course of are days, is not to put too much confidence into the the circumstances of others. Hopefully we'll all receive our approvals within the 5 month window.

Hope you're all well today!

I received my NOA1 hard copy today!

HI all,

Finally had some time to do more than just troll the posts looking at everyone else's notes and thought I'd jump into the right month's post.

We got our NOA1 on 5/12/14 for Nebraska (like almost everyone else in this thread), so fingers crossed that they speed things up a bit. The hubby is in the UK and the only good thing is that I travel there for work a LOT, so get to see him more than most people on here do. After reading some of these threads, as much as I hate how long this is going to take, at least I can consider myself lucky enough to see him in person every few weeks for 3-4 weeks at a time.

Good luck all! Can't wait to have him here with me in Dallas!!!
