I was approved in almost 9 months or 260 days. 

As soon as you are out of "normal processing times" per uscis timelines, file an inquiry with uscis either call or e-request. And contact your congressman for help.

they will probably update Nebraska normal processing times July 15th.

I agree that you should e-request and/or call. Should be faster than going in person. The outcome might be the same either way.

as of now that's still normal processing time, times have increased, its up to 8 months now.

If I had to take a guess I'd say your date should be the end of July,  I saw some approvals for the 21st and 25th.

NVC is usually quicker approx 5-6, but I've heard that is slowing down too unfortunately, but you should at least have more activity (things to do) during the process.

I think its that November/December got hammered with applications due to the changing political environment.
