How come you cannot see processing times for I-485 at MSC

[moemac59 192]

Cannot seem to find processing times for I485 at NBC (MSC). I am adjusting status from K1 visa.

Can any one shed light on this or maybe I just missed something on USCIS's website.

Because the processing should be transferred to your local office and go via their processing times.

My AOS application has been at NBC since the end of July without any movement (I know that some people have been waiting waaaay longer) and has not been transferred to the field office in Buffalo yet. I know that Buffalo does not get alot of these type of apps as my next door neighbor is an ICE agent and has friends that work at this office. I have also checked the processing times for Buffalo and it is only 4 months.

When should I start to think about contacting my elected official to see if they can make an inquiry on my behalf?

Thanks for the info Xanax.

You can check where your local office is at re: processing Buffalo processing times

They all seem to be a little behind though, mine says 5 months but is actually sitting somewhere near 6. It seems your local office is taking around 4 months (as you said) so you would wait all of August, September, October, November- December is when I would make my initial query to USCIS. The standard wait to contact your congressman etc is 6 months- so January but calling the USCIS might give you a better indication of when your petition will actually get looked at. Contacting your congressman before 6 months, I believe is futile and they won't be able to help you or they will merely send in a request to get the response back " You have to wait 6 months...".

Try to be patient, it seems you are almost there.

Thanks Xanax. I actually called USCIS on Friday and the IO told me that it is being reviewed right now with someone at MSC. He said it would probably take until Feb/Mar after interview that GC will be issued.

Again thanks so much for your info.

I just noticed that we both have very similar timelines in our signature. I got married the day after you.

MoeMac - I claim it's a huge data error with USCIS.

MOST of the casefiles that start with MSC, since 15 AUG 2012, have had issues with that online status thingie.

That's great! Congratulations Our local office is still working of May applications.
