We got the NOA 1 a few days after filing

That only means the form was received .. not that it was correctly completed

I looked at the i130 before filing, looked good to me, this lawyer also only does immigration, so I'm confident it was filled correctly.

What do you mean consular processing? Ours is at the Nebraska service center 

 Consular processing is when someone gets their immigrant visa at a consulate or embassy. The USCIS processing part is done within the US (at Nebraska Service Center in your case), after which (when it’s approved) the case will get sent to her consulate/embassy for her to interview for her visa.

As above, no biometrics are required in the US for this process, because the visa applicant is not in the US. Your lawyer should be well aware of this.

FYI here is the official uscis processing times, you choose form and service center to see:

As lil bear already mentioned, i130 for spouses of USCs at Nebraska are taking 12.5-16 months to process at present.
