Hello all,

So my wife and I recently filed the I-130, I-485 and I-765 to the Chicago Lockbox. I just literally received the e-notification NOAs about 2 hours ago, so I'm super happy about that! My question is - what service centre handles what application? I can't seem to make head or tail of the USCIS website on this matter, aside from noticing that the NBC doesn't seem to process a lot of forms, and that the Texas Service Centre seems ridiculously slow!

Also, from anybodies past experience, what's the (very rough) timeframe I can expect the EAD to be approved and/or mailed?

Many thanks as always!

The removing conditions form is still mailed directly to the service center, not a lockbox. If you look at that form's page, you can see which states fall into the jurisdiction of CSC and VSC. Yours will likely fall into that same geographical assignment.

The OP is not filing ROC. The OP is filing a concurrent AOS which is processed (mostly) at NBC.

OP: Your file is now at NBC. The EAD/AP will stay there, and after a while (after they check it for completeness etc) the I-130 and I-485 will be sent to your local office for your mandatory interview.

Hey I just looked at your journey and realize your package arrive the same exact day mine did! I am happy to hear that you have received the E-notifications hopefully they will get to mine soon. I was sorta freaking out yesterday that mine hasn't come in as yet....:-(. Also if you create a timeline it will give you an estimate on when you can expect to have your EAD/AP. Mine said June 10th - 12th.

Sitting here checking my phone and email every 5 mins lol. What email address do they send it from?
