Are you doing CR1? it doesn't look like it from your timeline, if you are add the information there instead, it'll give estimates and everyone will be able to see it at any time if they're curious.

Hi again

 

I found this on timeline statistics (find above on Immigration Timelines tab, search CR1) - clearly shows Nebraska is the slowest! And the volume of !-130's is 3 times as much as the other Service Centres. No wonder they are slower than other Service Centres.

Okay, I finally found the correct forum. LOL Hi everyone! My names Crysta. My now husband and I have been together for 4 years now. We got married on April 8, 2016 in Western Samoa and I came back to Alaska a month after. I sent in our I-130 on December 22nd and received the NOA1 that our application was received by USCIS on Dec. 30th. 

It's currently being processed in the NSC. Is this really the slowest service center of them all? 

I'm so excited to see updates from you all! :wub:
