All Nebraska I-130 Filers -- Part 5

[Taye & Clay 7]

Seems like very little movement in Nebraska. 

[Taye & Clay 7]

Here is my whine for the week.... why send so many recent I-130 to Nebraska when the are close to the most backed up service center. Seems really ridiculous

I wonder if the increase of I-129F denials are based on the K3 petitions. Seemed like a big jump from the 2nd quarter to the 3rd quarter. 

Also https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Resources/Reports and Studies/Immigration Forms Data/Family-Based/I130_performancedata_fy2019_qtr3.pdf  

Nebraska is really really falling behind. They processed half of what they received with their backlog almost at 100k

Potomac actually for the first time in many quarters dropped behind but almost par in what they received. Texas is still near par as well. 

I swear leadership in Nebraska all has to be fired. Another bad quarter. if Nebraska USCIS  was a company they'd be in the penny stock listing.

You'll get there, just a little more patience. It's crazy how stressful and exhausting this process is! Good luck you are almost there!

Seems like they did a big batch with yours. My friend who works with me. Just messaged me this morning that his also got approved and the k3 was denied. He applied in August tho. 

 

I'm glad it's still working but still upset that Nebraska is still lame

Just received notification from the lawyer office that our I130 was approved (NOA2).

 

Filed in December 2018 and filed a 129F in early August.  129f was denied on Monday and approval came Friday for the I130.

 

Thanks to everyone who recommended the I129F loophole.  It definitely works!

 

Now, what’s my next step?!  😬

I was getting worried to be honest, I was starting to think that maybe it just wouldn’t do anything to our case after watching so many people with the same and later PD than us get approved, 50 days felt so long but I’m just glad it finally worked, but it’s so awful that it’s so necessary to send to Nebraska just to get them to not take 13 months in your case

Next is NVC!!! Get the I864 prepared, police reports for your spouse from any country they’ve lived for more than 6 months since age 16, spouses birth certificate ready, have your spouse prepare for the DS260, and anything else required!! Once you get your case number I would say submit all the fees and documents the same day if you can, to get case complete quicker!

Awesome, thanks so much for detailing that.

I have the same date as you for the I-129F. My I-130 date is 3/9/19. But both the old and new USCIS website just say case received. Your denial gives me hope I'll get one soon as well 😃

Just another lovely surprise. 12.5 to 16 months processing times.

No problem, there might be more so I would check the guides and look up anything else you might need for NVC!

After NOA2, how long is Nebraska currently taking to send to NVC?

 

Do I sit back and wait now for NVC to send me an email or can I be proactive and call them?

It can take 6-8 weeks between NOA2 and case number but some people start calling NVC around 3-4 weeks every few days to try to get a faster update than the email

After NOA2 Nebraska is taking about a month to sent you file to NVC .

 

once you have the notification that your case was sent to the department of state , count 7/10 days and start to call NVC because they don’t send email to tell you they receive your case

Thank you, great advice.
