Purpose of the NBC?

[Niels Bohr 72]

Hello Vjers,

Since all application for K-3 filing form I-129F is being transfered to their disignated service centers, what is the purpose of the NBC? Why is there a need if we can all just send both the I-130, and I-129F directly to either CSC or VSC?

I'm not suggesting to not follow directions.

consolemaster,

The NBC, like the service centers, processes a wide variety of petitions and applications not only (until recently) I-129f for spouse.

It may well be that one of these days, if processing all I-130 and I-129f petitions for spouses together at the CSC and VSC works as well as the USCIS would like it to, that the instructions for submitting the applications may change. Or, if it doesn't work out as hoped, USCIS may try something different or go back to the way it was. In the meantime, the public doesn't get jerked around with new mailing instructions every time the USCIS tries something new.

Ok...so you know how I like to complain about this process right? lol Personally, I'd like to be able to send I-129F and I-130 together along with all other forms, documentation, and fees needed for my case to just one address (NBC or wherever they would like). This would save a lot of time and confusion, would keep all the stuff for a case together, and give the possibility for a much more fair distribution of work. They could then do whatever they want behind the scenes...they could EVENLY distribute these behind the scenes to Vermont, California or wherever they can be efficiently processed...not by where you live, but just on the basis of who can process the cases most efficiently. Ok...that's my rant for now.

NBC or NVC?

I think he is referring to the National Benefits Center, which used to be Missouri Service Center (I think?). It is where all AOS petitions are sent initially to and now, it seems, all K-1s, K-3s etc etc aswell.
