I-130 at National benefits center??

[Nigerian Queen 16]

Yes we have a MSC code.... However the site keeps saying "Your case can not be found at this time in My Case Status. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283." Good day! I have also received my noa2 saying that its sent to nbc and also it is saying that they have no records of my case #. Wat is your out come now since it have been a few months.

Did anyone read the link?

Some I-130s are being transferred to the the "National Benefits Center" which used to be the "Missouri Service Center." MSC= NBC. The processing times will be 5-6 months, like normal. The aim here is to reduce processing times. The system is not set up to show processing times for I-130s at NBC, but on the other hand, that is mostly useless information and they are doing this to help you.

It can take a while for cases to show up on the website, and sometimes they never show up there. it doesn't matter, because the online process checker is also mostly useless and not updated properly. You will get letters in the mail. There is nothing to show besides approval, either, and you will know when you are approved by a letter or a text if you sign up for them.

The people you talk to on the phone are not USCIS employees, they are subcontracted workers who read from a screen. They give out so much bad info they are called the "misinformation line." The link above shows why these cases are being sent to NBC.

The OP just said it, but I must add this: Harpa Timsah is one of the few senior folks on here whose opinions/advice I always delight very much in reading.

She says it as it is but very reasonable, respectful and professional in her presentation and advice. Her experience clearly shows in her writing and opinions. Thanks for being a delight to read!

And just as an aside to us newbies, it helps to read the links, search your topic or similar topics to read before posting so you don't come across as asking to be spoon fed. It is always helpful at the minimum to do your own research.
