We checked our case status from USCIS website just to see if it was there and it was smile.png Seems that it was received May 13th and is now in initial review.

I was just wondering if you guys knew if all the CR/IR1 cases go to NBC? For some reason I thought our case would go to CSC based on where we plan on moving.

We are on the IR1 path and filing from abroad so I'm curious if our case goes to a local office or what happens.

Wow awesome! Good to hear that things are moving for your case. We have yet to receive NOA1. We're getting a little worried. I'm sure we will get it some time this week though.

I know the Service Center it goes to isn't based on where you live. For CR-1 they randomly choose between VSC (Vermont), CSC (California), and I guess also NBC (National Benefits Center).

Keep us posted!

Yes, this seems like the smart thing to do. I emailed AILA about a month and a half ago when many of us were growing wise about NBC-Overland Park. I thought what I wrote explained the evidentiary ba

The purpose of a real timeline is to build up statistics data for more accurate approval estimates. So it would really help other members if more people filled theirs in.

I know the Service Center it goes to isn't based on where you live. For CR-1 they randomly choose between VSC (Vermont), CSC (California), and I guess also NBC (National Benefits Center).

Actually, there was a jurisdiction method to whether your case went to CSC, VSC, etc. They list the states where each lockbox/service center has jurisdiction, but that's irrelevant nowadays. Since August 15th, 2012, ALL petitions are sent to NBC, where they usually sit for about two months before getting shipped out to their local offices according to the address listed on the I-130. If the USC is abroad and the address is thus foreign, the case stays at NBC for processing.

USC who lived in Manabí, Ecuador with hubby from 2009 - 2013. Hubby became a naturalized American citizen in August 2016. Currently living together in northern Virginia.

Thank you oohpartiv! Let's hope our case stays in NBC then and that USC won't get any requests for an interview at a local office :)

Ema ♥ Jin, hope you get NOA1 soon!

That's great! I checked my bank account yesterday and it shows my personal check being cashed by the Phoenix Lockbox. I'm excited to see some movement finally.

Hi :D

We are so happy to receive our NOA1 dated May 15 and NBC service center.

Our Atty said that all the I-130's have been going there lately since CSC and VSC are behind

the national average.

We are so excited!
