Anyone have any info on them? My lawyer said she's never seen (in cases she's done) an i130 go past 9 months with an unless there's an issue. I'm at 8.5 months with the NSC 

Thar average time for an I-130 at Nebraska (as reported by other VJ members) is 334 days.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Also, if your lawyer is talking about IOE numbers, she perhaps has never seen one go past 9 months because they only started issuing them 8.5 months ago...?

 

A couple came before that, but they were part of the pilot test run and benefitted from MUCH quicker processing times. July 2019 was when IOE numbers were rolled out properly.
