It won't be upto a month, Texas is usually fast when a case from Nebraska goes there. You will be approved before the above stated date.

Where is the documents section where the letter is sometimes sent?

[Wolle 68]

it should be under the receipt……..

We are still waiting.  Is there any truth to the rumor that they tend to focus on cases where the marriage is greater than 2 years?

No I don't think so, plus we have been married 6 years and still are waiting.

My husband and I are still waiting for our approval. Our case has been under active review since June 10th, 2023 and it's been saying "taking longer than expected" for months now. Hoping we finally hear back this week or next week! Will update when we get information. 

Finally got an update on July 26th, 2024 stating a request for additional evidence was sent... 😪 this is so frustrating after waiting over a year for an update. My husband hasn't received the letter yet though. We're guessing that it may be because he was visiting me for 5 months when we submitted the forms so he was taking a hiatus from his job but has been back at it for over a year now since we submitted. But we won't know until he gets that letter.

Honestly I don't think that would be the issue. At the USCIS stage they aren't doing a full blown analysis of the case, more just checking that you have all the min requirements to advance -- both that you submitted all the necessary documents, and also things like you have been together in person, have some baseline evidence you are married, etc. And then at the consular stage they do a more detailed evaluation. Most of the time RFEs are because you missed something on the document side (didn't send in every form, missed a signature, filled in a box wrong, etc.). You will find out soon enough and often if you can get back the necessary document quickly they can actually approve your case pretty quickly as well (I think someone in this thread got back their approval pretty soon afterwards).
