I am glad to see that people have been making good use of the K3 option. Earlier this year i created a thread called "K3 Viability for 2019" to get the conversation going again. What Nebraska is doing with the I-129F's are quite anomalous - probably internal administrative direction to deny I-129Fs and then expeditiously approve the I-130s. I am curious to know if this same processing is occurring in other Processing Centers. I had a conversation with my lawyer about the K3 supplementing the I-130 in time sensitive cases (which might be all of them), and he had a case where the I-130 petition got approved in less than three months - at the Nebraska Center. So this idea is definitely helping out a lot of people get quicker review times. This will benefit the curious and the inquisitive people who are looking for quicker ways to help themselves - so the reader should read this proactively. 

 

I filed my I-130 on June 13th.  - PD June 17th. 

I-129F on August 7th - PD August 12th. 

 

I will be monitoring my cases and will give you guys some updates. 

 

Best of luck to all. 

Well I am at 49 days since I sent my 1-129F and I know many who have waited just as long. I am  also at over 11 months on my 1-130, so it hasn't helped me and many others at this point. I know others have been successful, but not everyone is so fortunate

You're right at the end of your journey! It will get approved any moment now - congratulations in advance for you...the weary traveler.

Out of interest did you get an IOE receipt number in June or was yours still one of the normal Nebraska receipt numbers?

 

we filed beginning of July, have IOE receipt for Nebraska and we posted our I-129f Thursday so waiting on the NOA1 for that at the moment. Will be following your journey and hoping for a similar process time 😊

Yeah I hope it happens for us both soon. It seems like they approve similar countries at the same time. Like I saw a batch for Spain, then Philippines,  and Nigeria. Maybe we are next   Looks like you are due any day now!

IR-1/CR-1 Visa process Question!

 

I received My I-797 Receipt of submission on March 11, 2019 from the Nebraska USCIS Office and currently 

the processing time frame has risen to 11.5- 15 months for Application I-130 Petition for Alien Relative(my wife).

My Question is!! Will the process take the entire 11.5-15 months to complete the first process for I-130???

 

Can the process be less? 

 

It has been 5 months already since I have applied.

 

 

Any advice is much appreciated, ways to make the process go faster! or is it wise to have the application transferred to the Texas office to process and if that were the case, would that action delay the on-going process.

You can’t choose your service center or transfer, or we would all be doing that..

the average wait time is about a year for the first part of the process.

My brother applied for his wife 3 years ago from the Nebraska office using I-130 and his entire process took less then 9 months from start to finish.

Welcome to the world of the trump administration. Their goal is slow down all immigration. Look at the historical data on uscis and you will see it has increased the wait time almost 50 percent from 2016 until now on the I-130.

I'm living in Texas but my case transfer to NSC. When I called them asked why my case transfered to other office when I applied in Texas they told because Texas have to much cases and some of them send to other offices.

They don’t assign service centers based on where you live so that’s why

Hi everyone.. I guess I'll be joining in on this fun action! I have an IOE receipt number, but an USCIS agent over the phone said they only saw information that my case was at Nebraska. Immediately worked on the K3 paperwork haha

 

Filing for an IR1, we've been married just over 2 years, but I was really hoping he could move here before our 10 year anniversary - December 2020. Sigh.. who knows!

Aww man.. I haven't called them up as yet.  Don't feel like it..

 

Your case must be received by them I would think...

We got our NVC # email today and also a email from my congressman saying he "officially" requested an expedite for us today as well. Also said our paperwork was sent to U.S. Embassy in Singapore in the same email. That part I don't understand...haha

Ya it seems like it's taking a month just to have it mailed to NVC, 2 months to get a case number and then who knows how long case complete will take. Depending on your home country, I've seen some people waiting 4+months just for the interview. 

I think when it's all said and done, anyone at Nebraska is going to be waiting just UNDER 2 years for the process to be completed. This whole thing used to take about 12-14 months just last year. They've managed to tack on an extra 8 months or more it seems. And that's if everything goes smoothly. 

She's filipina, but in Singapore. Fortunately Singapore looks to be very fast and have great reviews for the most part. We will see...Fingers crossed. haha
