It was an update only on the date, not in the status of my case which is ' Case was received'.I will call them monday to find out what this update about.

Does that mean your priority date changed? I thought that couldn't change ... let us know what you find out

PD is Aug 24th,  this wait is so difficult. Especially seeing other service centers process cases faster. 1 year is a very long time to wait just for the I-130 approval. 

When we started we expected approval within 8 months, but now it is 1 year. Every day is a tough day just waiting. 2.5 to 3 more months of waiting to go.

 

Praying for strength for all Nebraska filers because this is not fair! 

 

Let's stay strong.

Yeah, I feel like this is the worst part, we were expecting a wait time of 8 months (which is already long enough), and now that we're almost there, we find out that we actually have a few more months of waiting to do. I don't know if that happens with you, but sometimes I am just talking to friends, family, ppl at work, and they ask about our process and I get depressed, ppl keep remind you that it's taking forever, and I know they don't mean to upset us, but it's horrible to be asked about this all the time

Oh yes, that use to happens to me all the time, coworkers and friends always asking, I started telling them it can take up to 2 years so they will stop asking me about it. No body outside this process will understand. Can’t wait to be done with this process. It is so draining.

It’s starting to happen with just about every service center. Our case is going on 10 months and our case gets transferred to nbc at last minute after responding to RFE. And you call them and 1. Their not nice and 2. They say “you just have to wait”.  I wanna scream at them and tell them they have no idea what it feels like to be told to “just wait”.  All we can do is continue to have patience. Is it hard? Of course it is. Someone else has complete control over our life’s right now. 😢

It's not the priority date that has been changed. My priority date is 8/8/2018. The  date that changed is the date you find when you login to your USCIS website under "my cases". You find that date followed by the case status expression "case was received".

We are in the same boat. I am looking at the processing time on the website though and they have reached August 8th so I am waiting to file a case enquiry when my priority date comes up.
