I am closely watching this thread to see if someone with IOE says they got approved in few months time.

 

Mine is Aug 26, 2019. It went to california service center.

Sure,  I'll be posting any news I get from USCIS. hope you guys do the same. As today no changes, still waiiiiitiiiiing......, however my wife is here with her tourist visa for about 2 weeks (no problem at the airport, we though that was going to be an issue.  although she had it before the I-130 petition).

I'm glad to hear your wife is visiting. I also have a visa but I will have to renew it since it's expiring in February 2020. I wasn't sure about renewing it but my lawyer told me that I could still visit the U.S. with my tourist visa and also my job might require me to fly.

Just want to check in , we are July 10, 2019. 104 days waiting 😢..  This process is really hard and having the Nebraska Service Center being twice as long is really not fair.

I guess we are in the same boat. This process is just to painful. and if you think about it all they are doing is to determine if you have a valid relationship with the beneficiary (approving I-130). Really? All the paper work is done after by NVC and then the consulate abroad; and that's fairly quick. I don't understand why does it take so long to approve that I-130 form, at least for consular petitions (change of status process is another story). Sorry to hear it's taking to long. a lot of BS going on at USCIS.

It's not the processing of the paperwork that takes a long time, it's just the waiting. Processing each application doesn't take them much time, but they have such a massive backlog of applications that it seems like it takes a long time. The wait is difficult, but it's really kinda necessary. We can all fight through to the end. Just try to stay positive! The wait will pay off in the end!

Thanks Ipena , I’m 63 and need my wife. This process is very unfair. Especially if you are unfortunate to get Nebraska. How is that right to take twice as long as other service centers ? 

[Michael Huff 11]

I’m trying to stay positive but honestly this is not necessary! Timeline for I130 on USCIS for Nebraska Service center is 12-16.5 months ! That’s just USCIS ! Doesn’t include NVC or Interview ! Please explain to me how that is necessary ?

The US government and its bureaus are not well known for their efficiency. It's not necessary per se, but it's expected. When you're going through literally millions of total petitions per year and you have no profit motive (or really any motive at all) to actually do it quickly, goals of efficiency fall by the wayside.

I understand your point of view and also Michael's. In my opinion, you are both right! I understand is the way the system works, however you have to take into consideration that we are talking about families been separated. It's very unfortunate, that the system has to work this way. like you said Fernthony we just have to suck it up and fight through to the end. However, if I were you I would take back the word Necessary, I don't think it describes this process very well. 

 

But any way. Hope everything goes quick for you all. (still waiting from my side)

I agree. I don't think it's necessary for it to take this long (I actually think it's really sad that we have to be apart from our spouses), I just think it's pretty expected when dealing with the government and when there are like 1.5 million petitions in limbo.
