This is my 23rd month of waiting for my AOS inteview but I haven't received anything about fingerprinting yet.

I asked the public advocate's office to inquire for me and just today, they sent me a copy of a letter from Congressional Unit stating that my I-485 application was transferred to the National Benefits Center for upfront processing.

I'm so anxious what does it means. I thought that new applications are just being forwarded at NBC. How long is my application will stay in there?

OK, so what exactly is the point of sending AOS applications to NBC
then? How exactly does that speed up the process of "ultimately... the
whole [AOS] package?"

What exactly does MSC add to the AOS process other than a round trip
mail ticket for your application between the local office and NBC?

For example, I filed AOS Apr02 with NY BCIS. My latest EAD and AP
applications were forwarded to and processed by NBC. They seemed quite
capable of processing the EAD and AP despite the fact that my AOS app
is physically sitting in Federal Plaza collecting dust.

If the policy now is to send the whole AOS app to NBC, what exactly
are NBC doing with the AOS portion? Are they just processing EAD/AP
and then sending the AOS portion right back to the local office? Do
they do ANY processing on the AOS app at all? Data entry, IBIS checks,
fingerprinting, anything at all?

Very confused. I know it's all new to you too, but I'm hoping you may
be able to shed some light.

Why bother when you have the ultimate weapon in American society -

Yes, MSC is the Missouri Service Center and I believe it is also called the NBC National Benefits Center. Mr. Folinskyinla wrote to advise of us new procedure which would be taking place a month or so ago. So no big surprise to many of us here on the forum.

Glad to see that NYC is actively participating at the moment as it might well prove to unclog the backlog of AOS, EAD and other sundry petitions lanquishing on the shelves in the bowels of 26 Fed Plaza.

Hi:

I was at a liaison meeting with LOS-CIS this morning. They noted that Missouri is having trouble digesting NYC's filings and therefore, LOS won't go to that system for quite some time.

As an idle thought, I wonder if this is also the reason for the slow-down in K-3 adjudications.

I suspected as much... this seems to tie in with the fact that the NBC processing time report hasn't had an entry for I-485 for the last 2 months. I reckon they are not even bothering to report the processing time for this as they've had problems changing over to the new process.
