Nebraska CS to California...How bad is it?

[onofre 1]

Im in Illinois and my sevice center is Nebraska, but since I heard that they don't file petitions anymore and are fowarded to California, how bad is this? Is it very slow or any word of some progress?

Any latest news on that situtation?

Look at my timeline and you can get a pretty good idea of how it is. Or go to the timeline section and look at other peoples timeline. It is pretty slow. But we all are waiting together and if you have questions we ask.

Simple question. Simple answer found. I'm amazed that people do not take advantage of all the good information they can educate themselves with on this site. I highly encourage people to actually take the time to learn about their visa and what's involved. Most of the time, it takes longer to type the question and waiting for a response if they just would have viewed over the things that pertain to them.

im a week old member, (or just about) im still learning the tools that is out there for us to read and find out. I know it may seem stupid for some who already know how it works, but didnt you feel lost when you first started? Im learning, just not as fast like you. But thanks for the links and info, now i can track where you found it and use it more often than before.

All cases sent to Texas and Nebraska are being sent to California. I mailed out our I-129F package on 9/6 to Texas and we received our NOA1 (along with our check cashed) on 9/18.

It was probably delayed about a week. Not tooooo bad.

Good luck with your process.

Try this link http://fwaguy.250free.com/K-1VisaView.htm

It should give you an idea of the timelines at CSC.

It's not a problem. On each page of this site, there are HUGE tabs that say "GUIDES","Visa FAQ", etc. When I first got here back in January, I took the time to look this site over. I made a big decision to marry a foreign fiancee. I wanted to know all that was involved. I mean, I'm going to be creating a whole new life not only for me. But for my fiancee also. That's what we're all doing here. So I took the time and read the GUIDES, etc, and everything that applied to my visa application. I sat back and watched the posts in the forum. After reading the GUIDES, etc., I understood what everyone was basically talking about. Because devoting a little time to reading things, I saved myself about $1500 if I would have paid an attorney to do the same thing.

I am just trying to save you from some people that become pretty hostile towards someone who is fairly new here that asks an easy question like, "Do I have to sign all these documents?". It is obvious if someone has read the information on this site or not. Or at least, has made the attempt. Arm yourself with the knowledge and you will be doing a great service for you and your fiancee.

CSC is the slowest. VSC is the fastest. VSC people got their visas before i got my NOA2. Thats how slow CSC is.

Come on guys... don't be too harsh... If you're annoyed that the OP didn't take time to read the GUIDES and preferred posting queries, you need not to reply and let others do it...

I've been snapped at too here at VJ when I was a newbie and it felt bad...

[Mel_and_Daniel 1]

Strangely enough, when I first found this site, I did not even know that this message board existed. I actually found the guides and bookmarked them bcos I this was the most comprehensive info I had gotten. It was only after Mel told me about the Message Board that I signed up.

I guess that's why no one has gotten annoyed with me yet (well, who knows!!! ).

I wasn't trying to be harsh. Actually, trying to help him realize and understand what he's doing. I personally can see he's bouncing all over the place and not paying much attention and taking shortcuts just by what I am reading what he's written in all the threads he's started. In a thread he started yesterday, he said he hasn't submitted his 129F yet, but he's asking questions and what to write on the form 134? If the GUIDES were read and followed, he wouldn't be asking about what to write on a form 134 at this point. It's not needed until much, much later. Provided if he can get his 129F approved.

I guess I shouldn't care. It's his visa. If he wants to take shortcuts and screw it up for himself, only to go back and recorrect all the mistakes or missed requirements, we should all just sit idly by and let him do it. This is why I had said he's doing a great inservice to himself and his fiancee.

Well said then and my apology. I guess I had some kind of flash back when old timers snapped at me because I "annoyed" them and to think it was my first and only time to post back then. After that, I followed their rules "READ THE GUIDES" and learned and now, kind of giving out advices to those who are somewhat "lost" with the whole thing.

Peace!

Bingo! I couldn't have said it better myself!

No need for apologies. Maybe this guy will see what you've written and it will give him inspiration to do the same

CSC is the slowest. VSC is the fastest. VSC people got their visas before i got my NOA2. Thats how slow CSC is.

It depends. K-1 visas are approved much faster than CSC. But K-3s and CR-1/IR-1s are approved faster at CSC than VSC.

You guys take this forum thing way too serious Maybe some day i'll be helping out a new Vj member who is worried about his/her K1 and answering some "dumb" questions but it will never annoy me in such way like some people. This site is for a specific purpose: to help others, just like it says under VisaJoruney.com "YOUR FAMILY IMMIGRATION COMMUNITY" i cant imagine when a family member asks you for help, lol!
