Hi,

My husband and I are living together in NZ - we've been settled here together for the past 4 years. I'm a US Citizen and he's a kiwi. We submitted the I-130 on Feb 10th and about a month later received a letter saying it was received. Just wondering if anyone has some current timeframes of when they heard back and received further information after filing the I-130. Ours is getting processed in the Nebraska Center.

 

Also, if you have any links or resources advising on the next step so we can be prepared  that would be much appreciated.

 

Cheers

Check your portal page, you can get to it by clicking on the country link on your post (where it says "New Zealand"). If you look/play around there, I think you should be able to find the stats you're looking for. You should be able to find the Nebraska Center processing times by clicking the "Processing Times" tab at the top of the page. Looks like Nebraska (NSC) is currently on cases dated around September 18th, 2020 ✌️

 

Note that covid has messed everything up, so what was already an imprecise process has only gotten more imprecise.

 

Welcome to VJ!

Patience......patience.

If you look at the bottom of your VJ Timeline, it says "Based on timeline data, your I130 may be adjudicated between June 9, 2021 and July 21, 2021". In my experience these estimates are pretty accurate, and will change as the stats change. 

 

Best of luck! 

USCIS

10/15/2020 - Filed I-130 online

10/15/2020 - NOA1 (Nebraska Service Center)

03/17/2021 - Case status changed to "actively reviewing"  

04/02/2021 - Case status "actively reviewing" again (with the updated date)

04/02/2021 - Later that day... Case approved!  (NOA2)

04/05/2021 - Case sent from USCIS to NVC

04/08/2021 - NVC received case and assigned case number and IIN (notified via email) 

04/10/2021 - AOS + IV fees paid
