We had to send our AOS package in june. Scan date June 21 and CC aug 23. It took us while from NOA2 to AOS because we had to wait for police certificate. Yes NVC notified us via email what steps needs to be taken. 

 

We even messed up our AOS package, we sent the wrong AOS form. We read the checklist but just to bring to interview.

 

We just sent them the documents they ask but it seems like proof of domicile they need more evidence. My USC husband and I as living together outside USA. 

 

 

oh ok ur case is similar to us we are living together out side of US I just have my DL and SSN from US nothing else.

I was confuse cuz of AOS package I thought that is only fee and  no form or package behind it :(.  so what did u proof for domicile ????

Honestly probably more like 8-10 for Nebraska. Hopefully they speed up and hey it's possible you get approved sooner. Some get lucky with this process, how none of us know but on occasion some get approved really fast

if you were living together outside of US then what Tax did ur husband show. did he work in US?

 

He did work in US and working in Singapore since he moved here. He filed tax each year. Did you work while outside US or no? I am not sure what form he use (might be different form when you are in US) but he still has to pay Federal and State Tax.

Nebraska has been getting progressively slower over the past year. When we filed over a year ago the average was 5 months, but we weren't approved until almost 7 months had passed. This is because by the time they get to your case, they slow down enough that the average is a month or two over what it was when you sent in the petition.

I'm glad to hear that you were approved so quickly, but @Jhonny needs to realize that this is not the norm by any means. Currently, the Nebraska Service Center (NSC) is taking on average 249 days to approve an I-130 application. This estimate is based on user-feedback provided by VisaJourney members. The Nebraska center is also currently the SLOWEST service center; Texas is taking 188 days. 

 

In summary, you will likely have to wait anywhere between 4-8 months before hearing back. It is possible you may hear back/get an approval sooner, but this is unlikely. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do, but wait. I wish you the best of luck!

I agree with @agripa, I'm at Nebraska and as at today I'm at 198 days. From what I can tell it will be another 50-60 days (late October) before they look at my petition.
