Good morning everybody,

I was thinking since lots of us, from May, June and July that are still waiting for NOA2, are stuck in NBSC (short for Nebraska BullShi!! Center).

So I started this thread to actually keep track on the progress (or lack of it) of the NBSC.

Please leave a comment if you are still waiting for NOA2 with your PD date and date of transfer to NBSC.

Our timeline is below:

Surely this has to be an exceptionally bad case?

This sort of wait is the norm is it??

Unfortunately, for this group of filers, it seems to be pretty "normal." (Nothing is normal about that kind of a wait!)

It seems like what has happenned is that everybody was backed up like this, and all the offices were slowly slogging through the backlog. NSC got a ton of the early transfers, and maybe was not as experienced in processing this kind of files (it seems as though they weren't processing them at all before) and got REALLY bogged down.

Then early this year, it looks like they changed the gameplan. NSC and TSC (who had the majority of the remainder of the backlog) kept working on the older files, at their glacial pace, and CSC started getting new petitions and processing them right away.

So what we have now is one office working ahead (and I'm sure that has nothing to do with improving their average times) and the other two offices working to catch up. But they're still pretty slow. Picking up speed, but still slow.

It has caught Apr/May/June filers in the middle, still waiting while July and Aug filers are being approved. It really sucks, and as much as I personally (October filer) will probably get some advantage from this (heck, they might actually be caught up by the time they get to me) - I can't imagine how frustrating it is for the early filers still languishing away in NSC/TSC with no relief in sight.

Big virtual hugs to all of you and hopes for speedy approvals and flying through NVC and Embassy stages!!!

Thank you for the detailed explanation!!

I feel guilty in asking but how would we fair as Jan '14 filers at the NSC amidst this mess??
