USC living abroad, petition sent to NSC (survey only thread)

This is a daughter forum of the above. Since most USC pettitioners living abroad seem to be getting California, and less than 10% have gotten Nebraska, I though this would help us petitioners that did get NSC.

Its pretty depressing waiting 5 month (regular processing time at NSC) and seeing almost everyone on the USC petitioner forum getting their NOA2 in less than 1 month, and it doesnt help us understand how long our process will take at NSC. So this forum is to make it easier on the future or current NSC couples.

In order for other couples to predict processing times, I believe we should do a survey just as the main forum above.

Please only post the survey here, and we will make a Nebraska forum for USC living abroad for general discusion, progress reports etc. (which I will add a link to here later).
