Normally how many months to get CR1 "Approve" in Nebraska Service center ?
Hello, everyone, my husband and i got married on 7th May, 2018. Then he submitted CR1 application for me after he return back to America.
My case was received on 22, June, 2018 and is in Nebraska service center. I have been waiting for 264 days now.
Now is almost 9 months, and everyday i check my status and always "Case was received".
When my approval can finally come? Really need how many months for Nebraska Service center to process?
If anybody have any idea, please let me know. I really feel very...super...frustrated and heart broken.... at this super long & difficult CR1 process.
You are at the "any day" point now. However, you did not submit an application for anything. You filed a petition for alien relative. Only AFTER the petition is approved, does the actual visa application process begin. USCIS does not issue visas.
Right now "normal" processing time is up to 10 months. Nebraska's current "Receipt date for a case inquiry" is May 29, 2018, so those who filed on or before May 29 2018 may now submit a case inquiry if they have not had a decision or update yet on their case.
If your case ends up going beyond the "Receipt date for case inquiry" date listed (probably in a month or so), then you can send a case inquiry to USCIS. Hopefully, you will be approved before then, though.

Wow, your case was received on Feb 21, 2019 and also in Nebraska ! You will have a long waiting period. I have been suffered for almost 9 months now.
I met another girl and her case is also in Nebraska, he case was received on June 8, 2018, my case was received on June 22, 2018. She has also not received "Approve" yet.
Really too slow in Nebraska service center.
Nebraska Service Center is one of the slowest service center. Forget about USCIS timelines showing in their website. They just started processing the May recently.
Potomac is the fastest SC- They are approving in less than 4 months. Currently processing November 2018.
Yes, in last weekend i did research and i also found some cases in April, 2018 in Nebraska haven't been approved, not to mention cases in May.
My only hope now is waiting for a "Receipt date for a case inquiry" in the table in USCIS. My date will be 5, April, 2019, i will submit an "outside normal processing time" service request online.
I'm not sure whether Nebraska will respond to my case immediately, or continue to ignore.....otherwise why so many cases in April and May still haven't been processed.
Do you have idea about what kind of case will be requested for more Evidence? My husband and i submitted every documents they request, but we didn't submit support letters wrote by kinsmen or friends to prove relation is true because we didn't know this support letter is needed at that time. Now i see more and more applicants also submit support letters.
Submit outside normal processing time as soon as you hit your date. Really frustrating wait to stay away from loved ones..i understand..But not sure why there is such workload imbalance within service centers....Regarding RFE, What did you submit with initial petition? hope you included all required documents to avoid delays..
Did you submit an "outside normal processing time" service request online ? Maybe you can try to see what kind of response they will give you. Since it seems like Nebraska Service Center start to deal the cases in May, i think your case will be soon. You have child already, i strongly believe you will get an "Approve" by then.
But for me, even after long waiting, i don't know what result is waiting for me, i'm so scared to receive a request for more evidence, that means 2 or 3 more months waiting. My husband even went to see a psychological because this CR1 long waiting and no result make him can't sleep, can't focus and worry a lot.
Wish us all the best !
Haven't sent an e-request yet, but I'm planning to do so if I don't get anything in my email this month. I do hope we get approved soon. Thanks for the positive note!
Anxiety can get the best of us sometimes. We'll get through this soon. Just keep the faith.
Our receipt date was May 18 2018. We got our NOA1 within a couple days. Since then nothing. My wife sent an e-request and received an automated response saying the USCIS will review and process the request and she is to expect a reply by March 28 2019. Hopefully that will get the ball rolling. She tried to contact them via phone but could ONLY get a computerized voice and never a real person!! Good luck everyone.
Congratulations! The following steps will be quick. Maybe in 60 days your case can be sent to visa center. The upload related documents including tax..... Then maybe 3 weeks to approve those documents you uploaded, then physical examination, then interview.
Maybe you still need about 4 months to finish your CR1 journey.
I sure hope you're right!! The waiting is becoming tedious!! I'm going to pick my wife up in Arkansas in a couple weeks then take her to Fort Lauderdale to celebrate our one year anniversary. She will then come back to Canada with me for a few weeks before I take her back across the border to Lewiston NY to the campground she works at seasonally....the same one I spend every weekend of the summer at. Luckily I will see her every weekend until the process is over. Hope fully they get moving and yours will be completed too.
I know of other cases that have been waiting since May and still not approved, your not alone this is a hard and long process.
