If you follow the March filers thread, it will give some timescale of when they'll start working April's. (So think we all need to be a little patient!!!) I just want to hear when my file has been transferred to local office, (Denver seems a bit less bogged down than a lot of others) as I can just imagine it sat in some mountain at NBC right now....

It's official, we are STILL and NBC (hubby called up and spoke to a tier 2 yesterday.) They couldn't tell us when it would be forwarded to the Denver office *sigh* Does anyone else wonder why it just doesn't go to the local office in the first place?!

Also, it everyone elses VJ timeline/prediction date move further and further each time they check?!

Hmm,

If file is at NBC then u should had gotten a NOA2 , also online on USCIS it should say post decision...

Online if its showing initial review then file is still at USCIS , for all march fillers we might have to wait for one more month because USCIS is still processing files of late feb and early march right now

so more waiting for us, but some of us will get lucky to see NOA2 soon. and few of us might have to wait more than 2 months too,

Hope this helps

If you read your NOA1 the address says NATIONAL BENEFIT CENTER NBC therefore, if you have a NOA1 your file is at NBC maybe it will get transferred to another place or maybe not

That is what i understand
