I should do the same to file DCF instead at Nebraska Service Center. It's taking forever my PD on April 10th. Btw, I live here in the Philippines with my wife and boys awaiting for the I-130 approval. It's been 6 months waiting :/

yes its the best way to do it especially if you're in nebraska. that service center is the butt end of the deal

Very good! But how can I pay $535 to whom at the embassy? I was told to pay directly to USCIS instead at the embassy :(

why did it take that long for the I-130 to be approved? Usually the I-130 gets approved in  a month or less.

Because as the post mentions, they're not doing DCF. They're going through the Nebraska service center which takes 6-8+ months
