Default MDUdall: New NBC (MSC) processing report is out

As you may know from one of my prior postings on the board, the Missouri Service Center has been renamed the “National Benefits Center� or NBC.

I just received the latest National Benefits Center Bi-Monthly Aging Report from AILA (Thank you AILA). You can visit my page located at, http://members.aol.com/MDUdall/sctimes.htm if you are interested in seeing the National Benefits Center Bi-Monthly Aging Report numbers for all case types pending at the NBC.

You can use the National Benefits Center Bi-Monthly Aging Report to determine two things, 1) has your case been taken off of the shelf yet and given to an officer for processing, and 2) is it overdue. At the NBC, a USCIS officer should approve, deny or request additional evidence within 60 business days of being given your case for adjudication. If your case becomes overdue, than at that time you should notify the NBC to bring this to their attention.

If your "notice" date on your receipt notice is later in time than the date listed for I-129f's on the National Benefits Center Bi-Monthly Aging Report, than your case is still waiting its turn to be assigned to an officer (And therefore it’s obviously not yet overdue). If your "notice" date on your receipt notice is earlier in time than the date listed for I-129f's, than your case has likely been given to an officer for adjudication. I say "likely" because if your case receives an IBIS hit, than you cannot use this report to determine an overdue date as the National Benefits Center Bi-Monthly Aging Reports can only be used for cases that do not receive an IBIS hit. If your case receives an IBIS hit, it will be pulled from the normal stream of cases and will experience a delay; slight to significant until a USCIS officer eventually does the follow up IBIS work required in your case.

Bookmark my page and check it every few days in order to monitor the National Benefits Center Bi-Monthly Aging Reports. As the name of these reports suggest, new reports are usually issued twice a month; however despite the name, these reports sometimes only come out once a month (or even less frequently).

When you first see a report showing that your "notice" date is earlier in time than the date listed for I-129f's, write down the date of publication of that particular report. Than take your calendar and count off 60 business days from the date of publication of that particular report. That is your "overdue" date and you should note that date on your calendar. Notify the NBC if your case becomes overdue.

Ignore any projected processing times you might find on your receipt notice, that you might read on the USCIS' on-line status checking page or hear on the National Customer Service Center’s automated phone system as those are wild guesses made by USCIS HQ (Not the NBC) and often do not reflect the reality of what is going on at the NBC at any given time. These projected processing times are also subject to change, and are not binding on the USCIS.

Relying on these projected processing times will not give you realistic expectations. Instead, monitor the National Benefits Center Bi-Monthly Aging Reports as that information actually does come from the NBC, it reflects the dates of cases that have been given to an officer for processing, will help you calculate a realistic “overdue� date, and will thus help you achieve realistic expectations.

Don’t make any plans, reservations, quit your job, make travel arrangements, dispose of property, etc., based on projected processing times listed on your receipt notice, listed on the USCIS’ on-line status checking page or mentioned on the automated phone system. If you do, you do so at your own risk.

Call me crazy as I believe everything you wrote above because you seem to know what actually happens at these centers but how come the very simple informaton that you provide is not told to the Reps who answer the phone. I call and they tell me that NBC is reporting that I129F is taking up to 60 days to process from the receipt date. Obviously I am passed 60 days and what you wrote above is more realistic. I again I have to ask why don't these reps tell us what is above instead of telling something that is way off base.

Second my receipt in the mail says 8/6 but online it says 8/7. I was able to put an inquiry on 10/6 which makes me think that my actual receipt date is 8/6. I hope so because this is the date they were processing cases as of the 10/15 report.

Thanks Matthew.

It is nice that NBC finally put out a status update. The big question I have is how long does it "normaly" take for an officer to get your case and process it once it is taken off the shelve. According to the satus report, they have been working on 8/6/03 and early since 10/15, yet I haven't seen any approvals from early August yet.

I know there are a million variables, IBIS hits, FRE's, etc. But if a case is being processed and it goes through and gets approved, how long do you think this should take.

Our NOA1 date is 8/5, so it is being processed. Like always, I am just trying to get a rough idea of when the Visa might come through. I think as the actual approval date gets closer it gets more frustrating.

Tmushen and Chaz,

The report says that cases dated Aug 6 and earlier have been place on an officers dect for review (along with many others too) so now it has to wait its turn on his desk. Don't make any other assumptions my friends

Well, it's about time they sent out a report! They're so slow there must be like only half person looking at all the petitions. And I wonder how big the pile of RFE's is. I've totally lost patience with them. If I don't see an approval online today, I will contact my senator just for the sake of doing something.
