All Nebraska I-130 Filers -- Part 5

[David & Olga 124]

If anyone has a I-129F pending, please message me your received dates so i can keep tabs on these applications. Also, please send me a message (here or directly) with your I-130 PDs. Thanks!

For the I-129F passport photos, do you need to have the date stamped on the back?

I don’t think so, I didn’t at least

I wonder why they have the requirement that it be done in the last 30 days if there's no proof of date.

 

Thanks.

Anyone with Aug 21, 2018 PD got any updates?

Similar to the passport pictures that you need to file with the I-130, these passport pictures are just an old formality - they're not going to do anything with them (according to my Lawyer).

I just had them done at a place where they did the big stamp with a place for "guarantor's signature". It doesn't leave much room to write my name but there's space I suppose.

 

Think USCIS won't be picky about the stamp on the back having something like "guarantor's signature" on it?

Oh ok.. on nvc site, they're working on cases that were received through July 26th.. so it was up for yours to get a case number.

But it'll be good if his request is through.

 

I tried calling to see if they receive mines... But the darn waiting time is 45 minutes and then it just cuts the phone.. says call back later.

 

Yeah, it was approved June 23rd and not received until July 26th and didn't hear anything until Aug 19 or 20th I think. This whole process has been ridiculous! No reason in hell that a husband and wife have to be apart for 16-18 month simply due to the USCIS office they were doomed too when others with same countries and file date that were blessed to go to Potomac have already been approved and starting life together around 6months from the file date. That is INSANELY unfair and I'll continue to raise hell with everyone that needs to hear this even after she's here. 

The waits are another ridiculous problem... It's a nightmare for anyone that works to deal with that nonsense. I'm sure anyone overseas as well...

Yes it's redicoulous proccesing time. I really don't understand how they work on cases. Totally not fair. Some people applied I-129 and then get approve for I-130 even them cases Been proccesing for less than 8 months. I want understand what's the reason NSC do that. I finish 11 months still waiting.

You should be any day now of next week. They seem to be approving around one year or a couple days before or after! 

Congrats!!

Dear Nebraska buddies,

 

I want to share a great news of being approved today for the I-130!!!!! So excited that I cannot even believe it actually happened!
SO MUCH WAITING, it is unbelievable. I think we Nebraska filers know now what real patience is and how high we can jump from joy after this torturous process. I have never waited for anything that long. Checking compulsively the status became like a part-time job/hobby/addiction 🙄

 

I haven't posted much. But I so so so so so so so appreciate all the support that you, dear humans, have offered with sharing helpful information, cheering on each other, sharing about the similar struggles! This was a warm place to be, so even though (I'll be honest here) I would rather been in Potomac Service Center with a greencard in my hand, I loved being with all of you - this is especially heartfelt group. I wish the rest of the folks patience and hope as you are going through this rediculousness of waiting for Nebraska to wake up and smell the roses. It does eventually happen, apparently, even when it feels like there will be no end. There is an end - at least to the NOA2... From the bottom of the heart good luck to you all and may Nebraska odds be in your favor!

 

NOA 1 - 08/28/2018 (although myuscis listed it as 08/30/2018)

NOA 2 - 08/22/2019

 

I actually got an email from USCIS. Myuscis is not updated and Egov.uscis shows the new date.

you have the right to submit an outside of processing time request, google "USCIS processing times" and do it soon before they increase the processing time and you have no right to submit a request anymore, that is way too long to wait for an approval

I already did that last week, I’m still waiting for a response. I barely just called uscis and I was told I’m within the processing time at 448days. That’s crazy

I think your wait has been longer than normally expected.

You need to contact USCIS for updates on your case

I would do that right away if I were you.

I already put in a case of inquiry last week. And I barely called uscis and I was told I’m within the processing time. That’s ridiculous, been waiting almost 450days.
