We filed online and mine went to Texas and our sons went to Missouri benefits centre. Missouri staff seems to be like what is being said about Nebraska too unfortunately... case just sits there without any action taken 

my i130 was approved through expedite processing but no word about our sons 😭

Getting ready to file our I-130 online today and sending other documents by Friday (I-485, I-131, I-765) via mail. What all do I need from my I-130 filing before I mail in other documents? Does the receipt number and/or the case number need to be included somewhere?

You should wait until you have the NOA1, print it out and add to the package

Got it. And you can view that online correct? Even though they send you one in the mail a week later, the one online should be available within days?

It can take up to two weeks what I saw others report. Just check under documents tab until it shows there. Usually 1-2 days after it stated that they sent receipt notice

So it looks like there are online filers that have been sent to Texas and Potomac. There is no method to the USCIS madness when it comes to assigning service centres.

Do you think recent transfers from Nebraska to Vermont would help decrease the processing times at Nebraska? anything below 10 months is acceptable to me. It's when it gets higher than 10 months that it starts to suck.

From what I have been seeing, these transfers have been happening when people have already waited about 10-11 months. It is insane. I just think that with the major backlog, we wont see any change, but those who file a couple of years or more down the road will probably have a shorter processing time. It also depends how this new e-filing for the I-130 goes.

Did you file for I-129f after finding out that you were sent to Nebraska or was that the plan all along? Also is it working anymore?

It seems to not be working anymore, but that is still up in the air. For certain though it is not as quick as it was several months ago.  Right, we filed it once we found out we got Nebraska. There is nothing to lose other than the rare chance of getting a K3. With our luck, it would not surprise me if we were granted a K3 😆
