Nat'l Benefits Center?

[ullnvrkno 95]

Anyone know why an i-130 for I/CR-1 would be transferred here? (no i485, husband is out of country)

[ullnvrkno 95]

Anyone? I can't find answers anywhere...

here as in where?

[unlockingsky 94]

here is some information about the nbc http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=72a927c382f39110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCRD&vgnextchannel=fe529c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

Request for Evidence

1. All initial evidence should be submitted at the time of filing. If the initial review finds that initial evidence is missing, the NBC will generally issue a request for evidence (RFE) for the missing documentation.

2. Adjudication of ancillary benefit applications (I-765 and I-131 applications) may be delayed if all initial evidence in support of the principal application is not submitted at the time of filing.

3. Applicants should submit the response to the RFE (with the original request) as quickly as possible to the office issuing the request. Do NOT send the response to the Chicago Lockbox.

4. Always return the entire original request for evidence (color copy) with the complete response to the request for evidence. DO NOT mail portions of the original request for evidence separately. Make a photocopy of the original request for evidence for your files. Returning the original RFE will make the response easier to identify in the incoming mail and get the response filed with the file as quickly as possible so that the processing of the case can continue.

5. The following are the most common reasons for a request for evidence:

I-864, Affidavit of Support, related:

- Submission of an I-864 by petitioner/sponsor

- Correct version of the form

- Submission of an I-854 by a joint sponsor

I-693, Medical Exam/Supplemental I-693, Vaccinations

Marriage/birth certificates and English translations

Evidence of Eligibility (I-797, Notice of Pending/Approved I-130/I-129F, Evidence of Nationality, etc.)

Legal entry

I-130, Petition for Alien Relative

1. Either Block 13 (“If you are a U.S. citizen…”) OR Block 14 (“If you are a lawful permanent resident…”) must be completed.

2. Complete Part B (“Information about you”) with the petitioner’s information and Part C (“Information about your relative”) with the beneficiary’s information.

The petitioner is the U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or lawful permanent resident.

The beneficiary is the alien relative (and applicant on Form I-485.)

3. Items B6 and C6, addressing marital status MUST be completed (when the beneficiary is a child, mark “single”).

• For your information, USCIS defines a “child” as unmarried and under 21. Any reference to a “child” found in this document means unmarried and under 21. For USCIS purposes, the difference between a “child” and “son” or “daughter” is age or marital status. Unmarried sons or daughters are 21 years of age or over. Married sons or daughters are any age but married so he or she is no longer a “child” for USCIS purposes.

4. Submit completed G-325s and pictures for both the petitioner and beneficiary in spousal cases.

• Beneficiary copy: Must be signed by the beneficiary.

• Petitioner copy: Must be signed by the petitioner.

5. Submit both the petitioner’s and beneficiary’s birth certificates with English translations (if needed).

6. Submit photocopies of the petitioner’s Permanent Resident Card (I-551), U.S. passport, Naturalization Certificate, or other acceptable evidence of status. Do not send the original documents.

7. Submit divorce decrees for all prior marriages for the petitioner and beneficiary, not just the most recent one.

Here, other immigration boards, the internet, my attorney.... no one can answer me as to why my petition was transferred to NBC after I requested an expedite and sent in evidence supporting it. It's driving me nuts. I've googled every damn term you could think of.

[unlockingsky 94]

based on my earlier quote, my interpretation is that this is the place where your expedite will be examined and processed.

you can also call uscis to ask for a 'immigration services officer'.

Well nevermind about NBC. According to a diff't tier 2 I talked to today they say it's at a local office. *sigh*

[Adriene H 89]

Ours was also transferred to a local office for 'additional processing'

look on the bright side. it is moving and not sitting on the shelves to eat dust.

Nope!

Once we got that letter asking ME to attend an interview

in Santa Ana, California...we decided to abandon the process

altogether!

Now we're just waiting for the inevitable denial letter.

i assume that you submitted information based on your hardship? am i correct? therefore it is at your local office so a local officer can investigate the local person. i think you will be fine compared to other people's story getting denied for expedite without a request for evidence.

[ullnvrkno 95]

Adrienne so you're not going through with it at all anymore?
