October 2012 I-130 Filers

How were you notified that it went to a local office? Was it snail mail or e-mail?

I was not notified of the local office I just got an email saying my case was transferred to a USCIS office under my jurisdiction. I got a WAC number because mine went to california first then transferred to NBC. Then shortly after that they just started sending cases straight to the NBC.

Is anyone transferred to NBC able to see their status online now? I read here there was some maintenance to be done but I don't see any effect as of yet...

No I cannot.

Yes, I have been able to see my status since i got my NOA1. my file was sent straight to NBC. it still says "initial review" and may not even change until that phase is over so am not counting on that online check thing this time around.

I see we have about the same priority date

I just made my second call since receipt of NOA1 and my call was stepped up. I asked very direct questions concerning the problem with MSC receipts and where our files were.

Question 1 Where is my file?

Answer: It is physically in Missouri

Question 2 Will my file be transferred?

Answer: Only if there is a problem with the file and a Local service center needs to see the applicant, otherwise, we will be adjudicating here in Missouri.

NOTE: I beat this one like a drum and was assured the file will stay in Missouri unless have a request or problem with the file. I was also told I WILL get a notice if forwarded to local office, unlike the statement online. She was aware of that statement, but assured me its intention is outdated hmmm, interesting statement.

Additional information from operator: We understand the frustration with the receipt numbers, there is a problem with our system with the receipt numbers from late September to early October and we are still working on correcting the problem. We hope to resolve it very soon Others are slowly being able to check status and you will also in the near future.

I felt I had a very knowledgeable person on the phone and she was very kind and told me to call and get updated every couple weeks if I like, but not to worry the file is in process.

She's off a bit there since us in November can't check our statuses

Well she did say that it initially takes a couple weeks to start showing, I would be interested to hear from Aug and Sept filers to see if they are showing now, but this thread is for October filers, so I will look around and see whats going on with them to see how reliable the info was. I would also be interested if yours starts to work in a couple weeks, please post if it does.

Just look at this poll:

Doesn't seem like those that could track it after a few weeks are posting about it

I basically got the same response to both questions, and got an answer of "hopefully it will be fixed in the next 30 days, they are aware of the problem and are working to fix it", referring to the USCIS online case tracking system.

Gentle Reminder for October filers with MSC #'s.

Please update:

1. your timeline, showing National Benefits Center (MSC) and

2. your profile, changing filing location to National Benefits Center.

Thanks !

Yes I called as well this week and got this generic answer :-(

Yeah, it's frustrating, having to wait 45 minutes to speak to someone when instead all I could have done was just login to the uscis website and just after two clicks seen the status of the case...
