I-140 NIW approved - FINALLY!!
So I'm excited that my NIW was finally approved in Nebraska after > 500 days (PD 03/05/21). My approval letter was lost in the mail, but finally showed up...26 days later. Ha. I didn't use premium processing because I had already waited this long and didn't want to give USCIS more money. Hoping for good news for the rest of you who have also been waiting what seems like forever.

@ Vlad - I haven't received an email yet. Just the notification through lawfully and when I checked the case status on USCIS.

@ Fernando - Thank you! I didn't use premium. To me, I felt I had waited this long already and didn't like the idea of spending $2500 more.
