You can use timeline search on this website and browse specifically CR1 visa or even more specifically CR1 from India🙂 Each case is different. Some are processed faster, some take longer. Last year Nebraska was fast. Good luck 🙂

Current estimate for I-130 processing (for spouse of US citizen) at the Nebraska SC is 7 to 9 months -- https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

We went through Nebraska in 2019. Took 10 months.
Then when covid hit, the ability to apply online was available, so that made some things faster for those that could apply online. 

Paper filing was the only option when we filed. From what I have read on VJ some of the online filers got ahead of the paper filers. 
I do wonder if this faster pace through USCIS has caused a back up at NVC. We waited longer than usual to get to NVC.  Then we waited a long time to be sent to the embassy. Only got to embassy after multiple expedite requests. 
 

Anyway, my point is that the estimated times are a little skewed due to the ability to file online and COVID.

Yes, I agree with you, in 2019 Nebraska was slow. Even though online filing was available this year we did paper. My husband does not like paperwork so we trusted one company to do it instead. Got approved by USCIS in a little bit more than 3 months so I think this fast approvals has to do with covid-19 and less applications. 

 

Our case is stuck at NVC. It's not even in transit. Online case would be sent to ghe embassy faster. With papers we will have to wait longer. Planning to send an expedite request next week. 

 

To anyone who is planning to file I-130. Do it right, file online.
