I-130 stuck at NBC??

[girumg 2]

Does your case show up at all in the USCIS case status check? If it doesn't you might be in the same situation we were in. Ours never showed up in the case status check site.

After a little more than 2 months form our NOA1, we asked the USCIS reps about our case and they were telling us the same thing they were telling you. We never knew and they never told us it was transferred to the local office.

When we got desperate, we called a number we found of an adoption area of NBC in a google search and asked to speak with a supervisor and begged him to look up our case. He looked it up and he told us it was sent to our local field office. Mind you, nobody had told us about this ever before.

We then made an InfoPass appointment to our local field office and found out that our case was closed and was sent to archives without updating the USCIS system and without any correspondence to us! The lady at the field office told us that this was a big mix-up and that she would not know what the decision was until she recalls the record form archives, opens it and looks at it. She said there is a possibility that it could have been approved too. She took down our number to call us but has yet to call us. But what we then did was called NVC and gave them our case number to check to see if they've received anything from USCIS. We were very surprised to hear that NVC had received it and was processing it without our knowledge! USCIS never sent us any correspondence after the NOA1 and the status check still says case not found. NVC told us USCIS approved our case in less than 2 months. We're now going thru NVC processing.

I hope your case is similar and it's just a big mix-up.

We called the number on this site:

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=c6594b5bbfb73210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=8d5e901bf9873210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD

They will tell you they don't deal with I-130, but ask to speak with a supervisor.

The number to call is on your Notice of Action letter.

There's no reason for all of that.

Here's the number from the email: 1-800-375-5283.

True. That's the official number for USCIS National Customer Service Center. But, in our case, they kept giving us the "you're still within the processing time period" line and even specifically told us the case was not sent to a local office. So, we wanted to call any number in NBC directly and find out about our case. It worked in our case.

But in all seriousness.

Petitions are being sent all over the US to different local field offices.

There isn't some magical system where they wait for one local field office to complete old petitions before they can complete theirs just because they have less people that file in that location.

Some people work faster.

Some people work slower.

Some petitions have names that bring up flags

Some people lost paperwork.

One word to sum it all up = Humans

oh and

Actually i am talking about local field offices either because we can see here, some petitioners from 2013 already got approved from same field office while 2012 petitions have not been touched yet. and some files never send to local offices.

Anyway nobody knows their working system

Oh ok, that's fine, then you can ignore every other point I made.
