Thanks for making a continuation.    We got our NOA1 on October 13th. My husband is from Uganda. Up to now, we haven't heard anything. I just hope they are at least doing SOMETHING with it!

It's very frustrating to see so many people with European spouses get their NOA2 quickly compared to those of us in love with someone born on different continents. 

 

The West will always vouch for The West, it seems. 

 

Good luck to all of us who have a non-European spouse! May we be blessed with an increase in workers at Nebraska and a few miracles to make our NOA2's arrive in a timely and fair manner.

i suggest that you make constant follow up by calling them or you may email them

good luck on this journey.

Yes, I do check the website weekly. As of now, we don't have a single update, but to my understanding, this is pretty normal for most of us. 

I am going to email them right now though.

Thanks so much for the information and well wishes.

I figure we have about another 60 days to go before we get our NOA2.

Yeah, when my husband called on the 15th of last month (the day it was transferred) they say it would take within 60 days from that day to get an approval.

I can't believe Nebraska isn't moving any faster even after having transferred a ton of September 2016 filers. I tracked 500 september cases and none of them have been accepted still. What on earth are they doing?

I'd say Trump should  hire more USCIS staff members and not only more ICE and CBP officers, but of course he actually wants less immigrants and not more. 

USCIS just isn't a priority. It keeps getting slower, and there's nothing we can do about it :(

Actually I wrote him about this using the White House contact page. Fixing USCIS is right up Trump's alley as a manager and cost-cutter, but I think the administration has other priorities at the moment. The issue isn't just understaffing but old fashioned systems and processes: apparently they have wasted a billion dollars  

on an upgraded system by IBM and got very little to show for it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/a-decade-into-a-project-to-digitize-us-immigration-forms-just-1-is-online/2015/11/08/f63360fc-830e-11e5-a7ca-6ab6ec20f839_story.html

Yes! I actually shared something similar a little while ago , they already spent a ton of money in something that just didn't work out. 

I'm still shocked they spent that much and it's 2017 and they're still relying so heavily on paper. Their service centers look like war zones. 

By the way totally out of context, but I really want to visit Japan this September! taking my mind off of immigration.
