Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooo! Nebraska!
Just talked to info officer in Lincoln. He said our application was given to an officer on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I asked how long I should expect to wait now and he said no more than 7 days but his tone of voice said less 
I then asked if they really worked on Saturdays.
"Seven days a week sometimes." he replied.
"Thank you from all the lonely hearts out there waiting!" I told him.
He seemed pleased.
NOA 1 6/18/02
NOA 2 almost there

Congratulations on this next step. Getting closer all the time! Hoping your wait for this part is over soon; it gives me hope that when I am able to file ours, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it's not an oncoming train.

Congrats tparrent!
I also have a 1st NOA of 06/18 from Nebraska. Guess I may get an approval or RFE next month as well.
Looks like you may beat me in this race after all
Hope you hear something soon!

Re: Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooo! Nebraska!
You read it right but don't hold your breath unless you are a serious free diver. I have also seen some NOA 1's dated in July get approved while some May applications are still waiting.
I'll keep you updated.

It seems that nebraska has slowed down a lot since August. I noticed on one site there were a lot of approvals for August but in October they seem to be slacking off! I hope they start speeding things up or many of us will go crazy with all the waiting.

Hey hmiller at this rate you will be approved and interviewed before me.. I got the RFE and sent back the info requested the next day.. and now they say we will hear in 100 days!!!!!! now I come up with yet another problem,,, I need a letter of permission from my exhusband to say its ok for the children to leave the country..!!! this is man that bullied and contolled my life for years until I found the strenght to fight back and divorce him... now I am expected to ask him for a letter of permission even though I have sole custody of the children... is that not just giving him back controls of my life????? I think so the solicitor says he cant stop me going so why the letter,, I dont intend to stop him seeing the children and I have already pasted the address and phone number etc to the solicitor... what onearth do I do next?????

Mooey,
Boy they sure aren't making things easy on you at all! I'm glad that I don't have to get a letter from my ex-husband because he probably would never have given it to me, even though like you I have sole custody of our daughter. I hope that you can find some way around this. Maybe draft up the letter yourself, so he only has to sign it? I used to do that with my ex over visitation and what-not. That way I was still keeping some control over the situation, even though we were both agreeing with what the letter stated.
I actually have a feeling that I might be getting on RFE myself. We didn't send many pictures to them. Only one to be exact. Honestly wasn't thinking about the INS and what would make them happy when we were together. I'll be seeing my love in about a week and a half and I'll be sure there are more pictures just in case that becomes an issue for them.
I think that what might be real flaw in the system is that a lot of the approval process is up to each officers discretion. What looks good to one person approving paperwork, might not look good enough to another. And probably because they have so many new employees at the Nebraska office many of them are unsure of themselves and are quite possibly holding up the process even further because theyneed assistance from superiors or are second guessing legitimate and complete paperwork. Those are just some of my thoughts anyway.
I'm still thinking of you and your children and hoping they get moving on your paperwork so you can all be settled for the holidays, preferably before your daughters wedding!
Take care!
