Why are cases being sent to centers that are severely backlogged?

You're right. I'm sorry, please. I did not mean to be prejudiced. Should be any country known for that stuff.

Just trying to remain calm and positive. It is so disheartening to see the processing time get longer and longer. We submitted out application back in June 2021 and were so hopeful that we would get approved around this time and soon and be scheduled for an interview by at least June 2022. I just want to get our lives started together so we can start our family. I have never longed to be with someone so much and its very challenging. My heart is overwhelmed at the moment! God help us all reunite with our loved ones once and for good !!!

We’ve all been there.   Processing times have always fluctuated over the years, even before Covid.

Your profile says k1.  You should go to the k1 forum, locate the thread for June 2021 filers and follow along with members similarly situated

For example Nebraska and certain other centers have 7-15 months of processing time, while California has over 2.5-3.5 years!? Just found out my I-130 for spouse as USC, just got send to California...this doesn't make any sense. Wouldn't they want to distribute eventually to all service centers? Could someone explain

If you filed online, from my overview, they all (mostly) go to Nebraska IMO, then they get sorted out...I got Nebraska for the NOA1 and then NOA2 was California.
