I-130 August 2019 filers

[aus2tx 168]

To be honest, I’m expecting a 4-6 month wait with the 129. Nebraska filers in March were approved in June/July, 3-4 months. With many older applications also now filing 129, I’m really aiming for a 6 month wait. Even then, if I get to 9.5, that’s STILL better to request info since it’s several months shorter than the 130 wait.

 

Nebraska is terribly mismanaged and I don’t know why they keep sending cases there when the gap is incredible.

 

edit: I work in claims on a case management system so this chaps my balls

I actually already sent it in a few days ago and now waiting for the NOA1 for the I129. Just wondering if anyone already tried and had luck with it. We shall find out by end of September. 

Hopefully I'm out of NVC by then lol. But the entire process is intriguing to me.

To be fair visajourney isnt tracking anyone that is not a part of the website so we dont come close to knowing how many people are going where.

No, but looking at the numbers USCIS publish - Nebraska, Potomac, and Texas get split pretty evenly but Nebraska only processes 1/2 of what’s coming in, Potomac is at like 2/3, and Texas is approving more cases than they’re getting

 

The numbers for the K3, I looked at the “official” timeline from the USCIS site as well

Hi all,

We received our NOA 1 in the mail today - our case was sent to Nebraska *sigh*

PD - Aug. 19

I would imagine that that might have something to do with the amount of employees per service centre? Texas is a massive state. Just a theory though. Potomac only does certain ones as well I believe.

 

Nebraska is just going to keep getting hammered, hope I don't get sent there after I file. Knocking on wood rn.

Hey fellas. My wife's check from NavyFed FINALLY came so we put the check in the packet and we're gonna send it out. YES.

 

We'll probably get a NOA1 start of September (like Sept 1st or smth.) Do you think this will have any difference in how our apps gonna be processed. I'm thinking they do it monthly tbh.

Might have got lost? Error on USCIS part. Think thats in the list of eligible expedites but dont think its possible.
