No. You sent to lockbox in chicago.

Normally, we would be transferred off to another service center (vermont, california, etc) but instead now they go to NBC (MSC)

Now, we have the chance for it to either stay at NBC and get processed, or even come back to the field office in Chicago.

There's nothing indicating right now what decides its fate.

yea I know I was trying to check status and said case has not been found, I guess gotta wait till it reaches where ever its going.

Nope. It may never show up.

Getting where it's going has no bearing on this.
