This is the 2nd Quarter I-130 processing. 

As you can see another Quarter with poor performance from Nebraska Service Center.  They get nearly 20K petitions and only process 11K.     Potomac the best performing one got 14K and processed 23K again getting ahead. 

Which you can find https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Resources/Reports and Studies/Immigration Forms Data/Family-Based/I130_performancedata_fy2019_qtr2.pdf

 

If you compare the data with the previous quarter. QTR 1 - Recieved 21K Approved 15K  QTR 2 Recieved 20K approved 11K 

This is some bs

Thank you for that, it gives some good insight. Well, this is consistent with what I have seen so far since we received NOA1, which is they take about two months to process one month of applications. At this rate, I don't even want to try to estimate our approval date.

 

Also, ####### do they keep sending so many applications to Nebraska? Are we the only ones looking at this information ? Imagine a company with several offices that would treat their clients like that. My guess is that they would run out of businees pretty soon !

Ok, wow.. but at least it happened this month! That's a good thing.

 

Wonder why they just can't give a simple update.  We folks are just in limbo waiting..not only their processing times are crazy but now they're not updating.

You are in the US? You got married in the US? Maybe that was also helpful for your case. 

No I ma not in the US. 

We filed I129F in order to ask for K3 visa at the same time - that helped. Some people tried it before and after me, it worked for every singe one of them to speed up the case. I130 approved one month after filing 129f.

I just filed our I-129F. Our PD for the I-130 is 2/13/2019, so we’ll see what happens!  We also live together abroad.

I feel that USCIS has made it pretty obvious they don't give a S*!t about any of us, including many many many-generation Americans like me. I'd LOVE to see some change and I'd be behind most anything, but I feel like it would take 25% or more of the US population to come together on something to make any government agency make a change, not just the USCIS. The government here has gotten way too big and doesn't care about the people they represent anymore. They make their own rules for us and themselves. Republicans or Democrats, they are one in the same, just different agendas. 

I agree 💯

It is just ridiculous

Good luck to you but I wonder if this makes any sense if you are living together abroad? K3 visa purpose is to bring the immigrant spouse quicker to US to live with their US citizen husband/wife

We don’t live together abroad. My husband is in US, I am in France.

NOA2 happened officially June 26, 2019. I actually got it out of the mail on Sunday. I checked my mail 5:30ish Sat evening and nothing (my mail usually runs 1pm-3pm). For some crazy reason I checked my mail maybe for the first time in my life on a Sunday and there it was! 🎉🍻🎉🍻🎉🍻🎉

Following your advice, we filed ours this weekend  They will receive it today at the lockbox. Our PD is Sept 21st 2018... We also have our senator and congressman checking on our case. Maybe some of this or a combination of all will make things move forward. I’m getting pretty drained from the separation and back and forth.

This is promising. In an attempt to benefit from this also, we've recently submitted our 129-f (pd of june 17), while our i-130 pd is only dec 31 2018, so I hope this pattern holds, since hoping for a performance improvement at Nebraska is unrealistic.

I feel like this has been touched on already but now I can't find it. If you file the i-129F much later than filing the i-130, do you pay the $535 fee or is it free to file if you've filed the i-130? I feel like I saw that it was free somewhere on a forum but the website makes it seem like you definitely need to pay the fee. If my NOA1 date is Sept. 4 2018, spending another $535 doesn't seem worth it. And they for sure don't deserve our money 😂

The time it's been since you filed the I-130 is not a factor.

 

From the 129-f instructions on https://www.uscis.gov/i-129f :

 

Quote

There is no fee for Form I-129F petitions for classification of an alien as a spouse of a United States citizen.

You're only 3 days after us and our official approval was 5 days ago. I'd definitely do whatever you need to inquire with USCIS. I'd have your mom or mother in law or whoever that called before go on as you. They won't know the difference. They asked me the inv#, my date of birth, the NOA1 date. I think that was it.
