My package transferred to NBC-What does that mean?

[acaglumac 1]

i sent my aos, i130, ap and ead applications to chicago lockbox and today i received 8 emails stating:

Dear Applicant/Petitioner:

What does this mean? I heard somewhere that if your application is transferred to NBC right away, you will not have to go to an interview. is this true?

Also does this affects the processing times?

Thanks in advance

NBC is where all the AOS applications are reviewed prior to sending it to CSC for approval or to your local office for an interview. It is where it suppose to be!

Someone can correct me if I am wrong but I believe that you will have an interview. Only people who arrive on a K-1 may not have an interview because they already interviewed to get the visa itself.
