I-130 stuck at NBC??

[Persepolis 5]

Ok I filed my I-130 on Feb 22nd, and I have called 3 times late April, Early May, and yesterday. And all 3 times a tier 2 has told me its still at NBC and hasn't been transferred to a field office.

When I ask them has it been transferred to a local field office they act like they have never heard of such a thing. "Where did you hear that" or "why would it be transferred" ummmm it says it on your website that you begun transferring i-130's to local field offices.

So it's been over 3 months no transfer and even when I got a nice tier 2 rep he said the file is still at NBC and put in a service request for me. I called USCIS when I never got the service request letter and they said there is delays responding to service request wait another month to get the letter.

I'm just wondering if its normal for an I-130 to be at NBC this long without being transferred to a field office? I read on here it is usually transferred in 1-2 months.

I also read on here people calling and getting the dates to when their I-130 petitions were transferred. Yet the 3 times I called, the tier 2 reps acted like they never heard of such a thing and said it shows its still at NBC.

You are still well within processing times, so unfortunately you just have to sit back and wait it out.

Keep checking in with uscis every two weeks or so.. only an IO can tell you if your file does get transferred.

There are a few petitions that have been kept and processed at the nbc, although rare, it does happen.

speak with an immigration officer not the cr that answers the phone.. the cr can not see if the case was transferred, they get the same screen as you see at uscis case status

It's the same number you're already calling.

Just ask to speak to a supervisor

Oh thank u!

By supervisor do you mean tier 2 rep? Because honestly the tier 2 reps aren't being helpful either. One tier 2 rep said 5 months till acceptance another says 6 months to year! Lol it seems like they will say anything to get off the phone.

How do I speak to a supervisor?

Yeah I understand I'm within processing times (4-6 months) but I am wondering about the transfer. My local field office has a TON of I-130's to process and more keep coming in every month so every month that my case stays at NBC the longer it will take to get acceptance.

Is there a way to speak to someone above a tier 2 rep?

a tier 2 is an immigration officer .. I have not tried to get a supervisor of that department

being that you are inside processing times, I highly doubt you will have any luck with a case transfer.. and as stated before, it will occasionally be processed at the nbc

tier 2 = iso = supervisor = immigration svcs officer

Well then tier 2 reps are almost as useless as the customer service reps. I think they have gotten so many phone calls they just say file is at NBC now so that people don't call the local field offices with questions about their case and info passes.

Also it's evident that some now say 6 months to a year on NOA2 so people stop calling them.

I have always been able to speak with a sympathetic IO at uscis.

there is NO way to call the local office, nobody will give their phone number out.

if your file is not confirmed to be at the local office, then going to a local office will only have an IO who will be able to look you in the face and tell you what you can get over the phone.

keep calling about every three weeks.. don't worry too much about the 6-12 month thing that is scripted.
