Almost 7 month since we filed for AoS

Hello All,

I was reading an update from the NBC/AILA meeting from November 2012 and noted the following question and answer:

Q: Please provide any updates on any new NBC initiatives that are either currently in process or are scheduled for FY2013.

A: NBC Timeline of Changes in Workload and Processes:

August 1, 2012 - NBC stopped shipping interview waiver I-485 applications to the California Service Center (CSC) and began adjudicating those cases. CSC will complete the workload that was pending as of 8/1/12.

August 15, 2012 - CSC and the Vermont Service Center began shipping stand-alone Immediate Relative I-130 petitions to NBC. NBC ships I-130’s to the field bi-weekly based on jurisdiction (ZIP code). There are two exceptions to the petitions sent to the field: those that are foreign filers, and expedite requests. Once NBC is staffed for this workload in 2013, we will assume jurisdiction of the stand-alone Immediate Relative I-130 petitions.

August 15, 2012 – NBC assumed jurisdiction over all new I-90 applications. The Nebraska Service Center will complete the workload that was pending as of 8/15/12.

September 20, 2012 – NBC modified the I-485 initial evidence review process for family-based applications to provide staff for new workloads at NBC. NBC will resume the normal process when we have the staffing capacity to perform the work.

October 1, 2012 – USCIS Lockbox Operations began assigning MSC receipt numbers to stand-alone Immediate Relative I-130 petitions and shipping the petitions to NBC.

You may be impacted by this......

I hope you get approved soon.....

I'm in the exact same position. So this thread is really helpful. It seems as though those of us who filed in July are having a similar experience.

Interesting...is this just an observation? A lot of times I've been seeing are more like 9 months at most. Are you talking about CSC transfer folks?

Of course, seeing jayne d's info doesn't make me feel like they are in any hurry.

It seems to be taking close to a year now
