RFE's and Processing Location Changes

[JaredShadkin 53]

Hello all - 

My question relates to whether receiving an RFE changes the USCIS Office of where I-485's, I-131's, and I-765's are processed.

 

I filed my I-485 Package on February 7, 2024 and shortly thereafter received an RFIE on February 14.

I promptly responded and sent the documentation to the mailing address indicated in the letter - USCIS National Benefit Center, Lee Summit, MO.

Does this indicate that my applications will no longer be processed at the Chicago Service Center (which has much shorter processing windows), and will now be processed at the NBC Missouri Service Center (which has much longer processing windows)?

 

I noticed that a vast majority of I-765's are approved the next day after biometrics for filers from the Chicago Service Center, but we are still waiting close to one month after the bio appointment. 

 

Any insight is appreciated!

What do you mean by  "Chicago Service Center" ?  All I-131s and I-765s are processed at NBC.

And (OP,) Field Office is completely irrelevant for both.

My mistake - Chicago National Office.

I was under the impression that the I-131's and I-765's are processed in the location of where the original application was sent to (Chicago in my case). 

 

All clear now. Thank you.

You sent the packages to a lockbox, a distribution point.  I-131s and I-765s are sent to NBC.

I485s are preprocessed by your allocated SC and if interview required, transferred to your LFO.

To find your timeline for I485 on the tracking website, input your LFO not SC.
