Hello everyone,

My case was received on Sept 8th, 2010 and I am adjusting my status due to my marriage to a US citizen. Currently I have a I-94 TN Visa and been in the US for over 8 months. My case had an RFE and I immediately responded. However, they moved my case to NBC Location, is that good? Is that bad? How much longer do I gotta wait after this? I'm residing in Michigan.

On October 29, 2010, we received your response to our request for evidence. This case is being processed at our NATIONAL BENEFITS CENTER location.

Thank you everyone.

Hello! Here is the forum for people in similar situations to you and there you will receive more exact and appropriate answers. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/130-adjustment-of-status-from-work-student-tourist-visas/

But to answer your question, that is totally normal. NBC is where they process all cases like yours. They will send your file to your local office eventually for your interview, but most of the work on it is done at NBC. The whole process is taking about 3-4 months total. Your RFE may have slowed things down a bit. You will find other people with similar timelines in the forum I linked you to. Good luck!

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

ROC:
5/23/12: Sent out package

Hey Bluberry:

I had the same thing happen to me with the RFE just a few weeks ago and I noticed the same thing. I also reside in Michigan. I just asked my congresswoman to assist in expediting my husband's EAD because he has a job offer and we don't want to lose it.

Good Luck.
