I just received the latest NSC Processing Time Report from AILA (Thank
you AILA). You can visit my page located at,
http://members.aol.com/MDUdall/sctimes.htm if you are
interested in seeing the Nebraska Service Center Processing Time Report
numbers for all case types pending at the NSC.



You can use the Nebraska Service Center Processing Time Report to
determine two things, 1) has your case been taken off of the shelf yet
and given to an officer for processing, and 2) is it overdue. At the
NSC, a USCIS officer should approve, deny or request additional evidence
within 30 business days of being given your case for adjudication. If
your case becomes overdue, than at that time you should notify the NSC
to bring this to their attention.



If your "notice" date on your receipt notice is later in time than the
date listed for I-129f's on the Nebraska Service Center Processing Time
Report, than your case is still waiting its turn to be assigned to an
officer (And therefore it’s obviously not yet overdue). If your "notice"
date on your receipt notice is earlier in time than the date listed for
I-129f's, than your case has likely been given to an officer for
adjudication. I say "likely" because if your case receives an IBIS hit,
than you cannot use this report to determine an overdue date as the
Nebraska Service Center Processing Time Reports can only be used for
cases that do not receive an IBIS hit. If your case receives an IBIS
hit, it will be pulled from the normal stream of cases and will
experience a delay; slight to significant until a USCIS officer
eventually does the follow up IBIS work required in your case.



Bookmark my page and check it every few days in order to monitor the
Nebraska Service Center Processing Time Reports. New reports are usually
issued twice a month, however they sometimes only come out once a month
(and sometimes even less frequently).



When you first see a report showing that your "notice" date is earlier
in time than the date listed for I-129f's, write down the date of
publication of that particular report. Than take your calendar and count
off 30 business days from the date of publication of that particular
report. That is your "overdue" date and you should note that date on
your calendar. Notify the NSC if your case becomes overdue.



Ignore any projected processing times you might find on your receipt
notice, that you might read on the USCIS' on-line status checking page
or hear on the National Customer Service Center’s automated phone system
as those are wild guesses made by USCIS HQ (Not the NSC) and often do
not reflect the reality of what is going on at the NSC at any given
time. These projected processing times are also subject to change, and
are not binding on the USCIS.



Relying on these projected processing times will not give you realistic
expectations. Instead, monitor the Nebraska Service Center Processing
Time Reports as that information actually does come from the NSC, it
reflects the dates of cases that have been given to an officer for
processing, will help you calculate a realistic “overdue� date, and will
thus help you achieve realistic expectations.



Don’t make any wedding plans, reservations, quit your job, make travel
arrangements, dispose of property, etc., based on projected processing
times listed on your receipt notice, listed on the USCIS’ on-line status
checking page or mentioned on the automated phone system. If you do, you
do so at your own risk.

The trip to Utah was quite nice (and thanks for asking). Good weather
along the way, and I had a nice visit with my Mother, Sister, her
husband and their kids. Did not make it up to SLC to look up old friends
though, but maybe I’ll be able to do that closer to Christmas time.



All in all, a very relaxing time. Even won a couple hundred bucks (or
so) in Nevada along the way.
