ahhhh this makes me hopeful!!! I haven't had a date change in 2 months. I hope they keep processing spousal visas at what seems like a decently quick pace! Maybe they are trying to eliminate some of their backlog while the rest of immigration is suspended! Fingers crossed for us waiting that there are more date changes coming our way!

I asked online if our application was still at Nebraska center, and it still is. Not sure what to think about that when a lot of people are getting transfered, then approved, including applications from 2020. Good luck guys !

Still waiting on news of my May 10 2019 application. Looks like a bunch of approvals for people who filed much later! I’m happy for you, but at the same time, it’s painful not knowing the outcome of my case. Is anyone else waiting for a year or more? They transferred my case to Vermont a couple of months back and since then nothing ... I’ve tried contacting them multiple times, but they just give out the same useless information, I can see on the case status page ...

I feel you, mine was the same thing and waited for about 13 months to be approved although I wasn't transferred and filed I129F K3. PD 4/11/2019 and approved on 05/15/2020. All I can suggest is to try really hard to focus on other things otherwise you will keep getting more frustrated looking at other approvals and wonder why not me....

Hey folks, just a note.

 

I had an I-130 in Nebraska starting September 26th, it was moved to Vermont and it was processed very quickly. Total of only 7.5 months. It was moved to Vermont Feb 23rd 2020, and approved May 12th.

 

Don't be discouraged if your I-130 was moved to Vermont. It turned out great for me and a lot of other folks on here.

Below is a repost of my reply to "i-130 ONLINE file" thread. USC filing for spouse. I have no idea about my case being "touched" or transfered as I have no idea how to look for that. Sorry to hear some people are still waiting for their case to be adjudicated, however as you can read from my (re)post below, good news my be hitting you unexpectedly soon.

I'm not the type of person that either frequents internet forums or likes to share details of personal matter, however I now that many present in this forum are vastly interested in current processing times, that's why I decided to sign up to VJ to post the following info:

 

I'm overseas, filed I-130 online in early Jannuary 2020, received confirmation from Nebraska (NSC) so I wasn't expecting approval for a total of 12-16 months.

 

I just checked on my case status and it turns out I got approved a few days ago, after only 5,5 months. Approval comes from California.

 

At first I thought it must have been some system error. First it was assigned to NSC and I'm unaware of any trasfers. Second, when looking at USCiS webpage, processing times at California were not that fast anyways. However looking at some replies in this and other threads, I see that there are number of online filed cases that had been quickly approved recently despite being assigned (at first) to Nebraska. So those of you that worry NSC is the worst possible outcome, you should not. Approval might come sooner that you think.
 

For what it is worth: my USCIS file is rather "thick" (without elaborating further), I have no idea when my case was transfered or if/how many times my case was "touched" since I had no idea how to look for it, all I was doing was refreshing my iPad's app from time to time (not expecting to see anything of interest for another 6-12 months anyways).

 

It's great to know this part of process is complete and now waiting for a transfer to NVC, however I'm inadmissable till early 2021 so I will have to stall my embassy interview till then (which is not a problem as I have talked to embassy about it before my i-130 was filed). While I wish to come to US asap, I can't over come grounds of inadmissabilty. Besides, by postponing my entry until spring 2021, I would benefit from entering as IR-1, as opposed to CR-1 if done at any earlier date. 
 

Nevertheless, this fast approval of my i-130 is a welcome one and allows me to have everything ligned up and waiting for when I'm ready to complete the case (given the circustances). Most importantly, barring anything extraoridary, it allows me to plan exactly when I might be entering back US. 
 

I wish you all the best and more importantly fast approvals!

As a side note: this recent influx of quick i-130 approvals makes me think that applications filed ONLINE my have a separate processing track thoughout all service centers, which would make total sense from organizational standpoint. 
 

Additionally, a month ago, when Trump decided to hold off green cards and other visas (with exception of the immediate relatives) to protect US based workers, right then I thought it may cause a lot of strange things happening with approvals, speeding up some by a lot. That might also be the factor at play here. Just my $0.02.
