I’m in FL and mine was processed in Nebraska 

Did you contact USCIS online Emma chat or phone customer service? If so Were you told by the customer service agent that your case was being processed at the Nebraska as well as NOA1, NOA2 came from Nebraska ?

Nope never contacted uscis . Just checked my case status online and it said Nebraska & both NOA1 & 2 came from Nebraska . Was approved in 2 months, took 2 days for NVC to receive the case I’ve paid both filing fees already now I’m waiting for them to process so i can move to the next steps

How do some people get through in 2 months while others wait almost a year or longer at uscis? While I’m so happy for you guys I’m just heartbroken that there’s such differences and not explanations why some take longer than others. I know we have to be patient but like everyone here being apart from spouses is just painful. Russia’s embassy is closed pretty much until further notice and i can’t even get a visa to see him in Russia now. Just sad stuff all around.

I’m really sorry to hear that. The situation in India looks very scary and serious.

Within 4 days after the I-130's were approved, myself, my wife and my step-daughter all received e-mail from National_Visa_Center@state.gov titled "Notice of Immigrant Visa Case Creation" that included NVC Case Number and Invoice ID Number which you could use to log into https://ceac.state.gov/IV and pay the fees.  After the fees were paid it took about 3 more days until the payment processed and now I already summited the AOS and am working on the DS-260's.  Ill probably get those submitted by tomorrow and it's going to be about 1 1/2 week before we can get her NBI Clearance (Police Certificate)  otherwise I think we are good for the civil documents.

 

Finally got my email and have made payment. Application is for my son and I’m a US citizen so we don’t need AOS. Hopefully things a lot fast from here

Yeah it really is strange. Like on the one hand it's really cool to see people get approved quickly, but feel bad for those who are waiting indefinitely. It seems like a lot of recent petitions are processing a lot faster.

My wife is in Cambodia and it's getting worse, not as bad as India but still bad.
