Laurie1015 for me it was approved in 4 months and a week I applied back in October however there are people on VJ who have not yet been approved.

If you want you can do a infopass but they are just going to tell you that they have over 5000 cases since October waiting to be approved and that no adjunctor has been assigned to your case.

I just think you need to have alot of patience and faith to get through NYC local field office , I can tell you that once you are approved they do send the cases right away to NVC .

Good Luck !

You might be pleasantly surprised. Remember it's the government and don't expect anything but your own individual results.

I'm a dual US/Hungarian citizen (both by birth; Hungarian citizenship verification TBA), and my husband is a dual British/Irish citizen (by treaty) from Northern Ireland. We are atheists.

All advice is given pursuant to the Disclaimer that you may read at the bottom of each forum page.

LATEST STEPS:

28 Jun 2013: POE Houston

08 Jul 2013: SSN received (at SSA office)

07 Aug 2013: Green Card received

27 Feb 2014: Whoa, life happened. Planning move "back home" together to Republic of Ireland by end of April.

29 Apr 2014: POE Dublin through Heathrow

15 May 2014: Received formal residency/work permission (GNIB card with Stamp 4, one year renewable) for the ROI

I did 2 info passes but only went to one and that's the answer I got . A few people here have gotten the same answer.

remember they started getting these cases as of August 2012 so I am a summing that this process is new to the NYC local field office and you know government agencies sometimes work fast other times they work slow.

if you want do the info pass so that at least you get some type of piece of mind.

Good luck

Check this out !

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-130s 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.

December, 2012 NBC will expand to a second facility in Overland Park, KS. Forms I-90 and I-130 will be processed and adjudicated at this facility.

2013 (exact date TBD) - I-601A Application for Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver will be adjudicated at NBC. NBC plans to train officers and staff in February 2013 for this workload.

USCIS has provided information to the public regarding the Workload Transfer from Service Centers to Field offices .
