Guys, I've been wondering since I've reached the one year mark waiting for my NOA2, I have been married since 2016 and even though nebraska is very slow right now,  I have seen some people getting approved before the one year mark , I have never overstayed a visa, never entered the country illegally, there are no previous marriages, our age gap is 1.5 years, which is nothing, so I am wondering, does the IR1 take longer? What have you people observed?

There is no difference in the processing of  IR1 takes compared to a CR1.  The case inquiry date is 5/31/18 so you should be done soon.

IR-1 does not take any longer than a CR-1. IR-1 are those couples who have been married for 2 or more years and CR-1 are those couples married less than 2 years. Nebraska has always been slow, but have you called the service center to check on the petition? Wish you the best of luck.
