Is anyone else waiting for a response from the Nebraska center? My priority date is 12/14/16 and I am still waiting. I also cannot submit a Outside Normal Processing Time ticket because the current processing date for the Nebraska Center has not passed the priority date.

 

Thanks!

To those who are curious what the next steps are after the USCIS approval, here's my NVC timeline (so far):

 

06/13/17 - I-130 approved

07/20/17 - got my NVC case ID and invoice # over the phone. 

07/21/17 - received email from NVC with case ID and invoice # along with steps and document checklist

07/21/17 - chose agent (me) / got email confirmation right away

07/22/17 - paid $120 AOS fee (this one's tricky, because when I went to check my status on NVC's website, it says there I need to call NVC to confirm the information regarding the agent chosen was correct but on the receipt of that I received after choosing the agent, it says I will receive an email with my case id and invoice id... in my case, I just paid the fee right away since it's a Saturday and I won't be able to call NVC anyway.)

07/26/17 - AOS fee status changed from IN PROCESS to PAID

07/29/17 -  called NVC because it has been a few days and the IV fee is still grayed out. I was able to confirm that I'm on the right track and that it normally takes a whole week for them to process the payment.

07/30/17 - received IV invoice for $325, paid right away (the Beneficiary ID is on this invoice. I have been wondering where I could find it since it is needed when filling out DS260

 

I guess I'll try to be patient and wait for 1 whole week for them to process my IV fee... I have already filled out my AOS form and just compiling all other requirements. I'll let you guys know what happens next.  

does it mean i don't have to really wait for 3 weeks to pay the fees? i really would love to pay it all right away!!!

As soon as I got my Invoice ID and NVC Case #, I immediately chose agent and paid the fees.

No, you're going to get a different invoice for the IV fee.

Hi Awi,

 

May i ask how long does it take you to get the I-797 notice of approved ?

 

I am going to take my Oath at next Friday, and i am planing to upgrade my spouse's petition from F2A to IR1.  I filled  the I-130 back to December of 2016. Thanks a lot!

Do we get email or postal mail from NVC? 

[Azure30 22]

Can someone help me please? I'm a citizen that was recently divorced on January 22nd. However, I filed for my mom with my marriage name on Jan-05-17. My name has reverted back to my maiden name at the SS office, although my passport still shows my married name.

I just received the envelope packet from the NVC in NH. Should I continue the process with my married name? If not, how do I go about informing them of the name change?

It took a month to get the receipt notice but I believe that the petition was upgraded before that.

But today on August 17, I received an RFE email  I am very sad want to kill myself and blame it on USCIS. Why do they even need anything other than a marriage certificate in english provided by the Government of India. Just doesn't make any sense.
