Interview at the at National Benefits Center?

[B&G 0]

Today I received the following email. Does it mean that I will have to go to the National Benefits Center for an interview or are they going to transfer my case to my local office and my interview will be held there? Has anyone experienced this before?

Thank you.

Nope, they wont make you fly all the way to Missouri, they will send case to your field office IF they decide to do an interview, or them simply send to California for adjudication and possible approval without an interview.

That notice is standard boiler plate, it means they have your application and are waiting for next step. (Biometrics and possible interview)

I got the exact same message two days ago. According to this they mailed a letter so hopefully when I get it I will be smarter. The online update seems to be very confusing considering locations. My previous update said they transfered my files to the Vermont Service Center (it didn't make sense as I sent there originally), but when I got the mail notification it said it was transferred to NBC.

Today I received the following email. Does it mean that I will have to go to the National Benefits Center for an interview or are they going to transfer my case to my local office and my interview will be held there? Has anyone experienced this before?

Thank you.

Hi,

I received the same message about an interview in March at the benefits center. If they told me the date, how is that a standard boiler plate? Does that mean there is no actual date yet?

Thanks!
