understanding processing times chart

[SilkRoad 0]

I applied for K-3 visa, have filed I-130 with California Service Center and the I-29F with Chicago. I see I-29F on the California Service Center but its referring to K-1 visas. How can I determine the processing times for K-3 visa?

Thanks again!

The K-3 visa's are processed throught the national benefits center or missouri service center. Here's the link......... https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/NBCprocesstimes.jsp?

Thanks for the link. It says they are currently processing K3 visas for Feb 21,2006, but I sent my I-29F to Chicago. Does Chicago forward the I-29F application to the NBC and is the NBC date refer to when the NBC recieved the I-29F or when Chicago recieved the I-29F?

If you'll read the header above the dates it says they are processing applications "With A Notice Date Of" - that means they're using the NOA1 date. Look at your NOA1 & then use that date as your reference.

then we can be more acurate in answering your questions.

The I-129F(K3) is mailed to the Chicago lock box, it is then transfered to NBC Missouri service center to be processed!!..........

SilkRoad,

The Chicago lockbox is the receiving station for the NBC, it is a part of the NBC.
