What is the new and the old site.. I just use uscis.gov is that the new or old one?? And what is the other site?? 

My date is January 12.   I just got an email saying they touched my case 08/08/2018, still in review, no status update at this time.    I as well, am in the Nebraska Service Center.   My attorney told me long ago my husband will be in the USA before Christmas.  Today he said the timelime looks like it will be 15 months before my husband will be here.   This depresses me more.     I wish I could jump on a plane to Plane to Palestine tonight !!!!!

I know what you mean about jumpping on a plane and see your husband. My husband and I thought about pausing his process and having me move there long term. While talking on the phone with him last night he got the welcome letter and same with him. Which picked up his spirits. Hopefully you'll hear good news soon. Its still hard to not have you spouse next to you. We have a lot of face to face time and the last time he was here in the USA was for 3.5 months, and we haven't seen each other for almost 3 months now. He got too independent on me while he was here on his business trips that he doesn't know what to do over in Russia. I really wish I was there to take care of him but can't yet. A lot of people keep asking me when will he be there, or why couldn't he stay here.  Only people that will understand these pains will be military couples when their other is stationed somewhere away from them or People going thru this process.

You are so right!   My husband and have not seen each other since we got married last November 2017.  Our plans were for me to fly to Palestine in March this year but I had a bout of health problems and a terrible car accident, so I not only lost money for the flight, I used up all my vacation time.   Sometimes I want to just jump through the glass on the screen while sky ping etc. 

I am so happy for you that it appears your so close to the finish line, where only a beautiful new start will begin.  God Bless you all!    I am really fighting a depression, but when I dream of us together, I begin to smile and gain strength to hold myself up.   Thank you for corresponding with me!

Congratulations on getting your case number. Seems like it took one month after your file arrived at NVC, is that correct?

Yes It is emotional abuse.   I don't understand why they are skipping some of us.  Well like my attorney said, it depends what country your spouse is coming from, as some are on the HIGH RISK COUNTRIES.
