[Kody n Ruth Joy 0]

Im here in San Francisco, on the USCIS Website it says Janurary 11th they sent out the NOA 1 Notice to me, and the Reciept Number begins with MSC .... anyone else have this reciept number ? what " lockbox" is this ? i was expecting a CSC #

MSC is National Benefits Center. I'm assuming you filed for AOS, that's where all I-485's go.

Cheers!

Yes I do have an MSC receipt number too even though I should have had VSC receipt #. But since sometime in August 2012 I believe, some I-130 petitions get sent to the NBC in Missouri. The National Benefits Center was originally created as the Missouri Service Center (MSC) and some petitions get sent there to ease pressure on centers as CSC, VSC etc. So even though you live in San Francisco, you were sent to NBC thus your first three letters bearing MSC.

I have read on here also that, initially some people have MSC and then later down the process they get transfered back to their local field offices.

Either way you have some waiting to do. Good luck on your journey!

I had a MSC receipt #

My wife's I-130 was processed there, it was because she filed concurrent I-485. Our case moved lightening quick as a result. Good Luck !

We got all MSC #s for AOS, EAD and AP

Smooth process so far for us
