No I haven't.  I've only chatted with a person at USCIS online and they suggested that I call the 800 #.

 

Well keep me posted and I will do that same..

Yes! I will keep you updated. Let’s stay positive!!!!

Nebraska filer still waiting. PD 8/20/19 my timeline now estimates mid-late July. Was hoping to go home (currently living overseas) by the end of the year, but as the days drag on that looks like less and less of a possibility 

 

There has been a lot of discussion on the Nebraska thread about contacting senators and congress representatives in our states about the amount of time that it is taking Nebraska compared to Potomac and Texas. It feels like we’ve just been left behind.

My husband contacted the Senator in his state and he said the Secretary replied to his email saying USCIS responded to their query and imformed them that June this year they will be starting to process the cases of August filers. I hope though that's true.  Nebraska isn't really moving, seems like they are still stuck while Potomac is now processing 2019 cases.

All this time, I still can’t process in my head how the petitions get distributed and why the service centers don’t work at the same pace. There is a major lack in management going on here. How can a petition be approved from 2019 at one center and a Aug petition has to wait until June? In my opinion, once these Nebraska petitions are approved, they should be expedited right past NVC. It should be an actual mandatory thing since they made everyone wait so long. I am here to waiting for an update on my RFE response. Fingers continue to be crossed for everyone especially NSV filers. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Did you not submit a copy of your marriage certificate with the original petition?

[Mirage11 1]

I sent the Local Registry Marriage certificate together with the 130 Form when I filed the petition.The PSA marriage certificate is only available 6-8 months after the wedding.I just got a copy of my PSA marriage certificate few weeks ago.They are only asking me for the marriage certificate, in your opinion do I still need to provide supporting documents? Thank you.

What supporting documents were you referring to? 

I think you should send exactly what they listed on your RFE letter.

When we submitted our petition we sent the original copy of our marriage certificate from PSA. But if they are asking for a photocopy then maybe you should only send a photocopy.

Thank you Allison1128 I'll send the copy of my PSA marriage certificate tomorrow.

Wow, Nebraska pushed back to July now.

Question...am I supposed to receive some type of update from  TSC confirming they received  my response to RFE? Just curious...

[ipatientlywaiting 23]

NOA2 on Tuesday, April 16th. Looks like they updated the website on Tuesday, April 23rd (Today), but they said the case was sent out to the Department of State yesterday. Will report back when I get the NVC letter.
