what is the code for Overland? MSC is Missouri but is really National Benefits Center which will send it to either Lee Summit or Overland? Is that right?

Both NBC/Missouri and NBC/Kansas have the same, MSC, code. MSC stands for Missouri Service Center which is now called National Benefits Center.

Petitions have been being routed to NBC/Kansas since May.

Yes, this seems like the smart thing to do. I emailed AILA about a month and a half ago when many of us were growing wise about NBC-Overland Park. I thought what I wrote explained the evidentiary ba

The purpose of a real timeline is to build up statistics data for more accurate approval estimates. So it would really help other members if more people filled theirs in.

Hi Simeon is the USCIS affected by the gov't shutdown? I hope not:(( just a thought=)

USCIS Tier 1 told me no, but that's just about as good as asking for an opinion on the VJ forums. smile.png We paid for the fees that supposedly fund this operation, so the USCIS should not be affected. If the USCIS has to interface with other government departments, that may be a different story. We do not know for sure what they're doing in their background check. An April Filer indicated that, through an infopass appointment, apps first go through a pre-adjudication (ie. do you have all the proper docs?), then go into the final adjudication process. At least, this part of the process is not affected. The officer didn't indicate when the pre-adjudication was done, just that it was done.

Apparently, Lee's Summit was not affected: http://www.lsjournal.com/2013/10/07/106547/shutdown-has-no-affect-on-federal.html

"The fees collected by the agency for immigration services cover nearly 95 percent of the USCIS’s annual budget, according to spokeswoman Maria Elena-Upson."

Hang in there, it will come in time.. It might be worth it to make an Infopass appointment to determine pre-adjudication status. At least, you can know if you're about to get an RFE. Maybe it might help take some of the nerves away.

Never even crossed my mind...

That's probable, I guess. Although unlikely, in my opinion. Why would they put the OP address then?

The NBC/Kansas itself is operational already. Just not fully..

Or maybe it is already, we just don't know about it.

Who knows... :(

Earlier this week, USCIS told me my case wasn't transferred to Lee's Summit. My USCIS address was and is Overland Park, and my receipt number starts with MSC.

Never even crossed my mind...

That's probable, I guess. Although unlikely, in my opinion. Why would they put the OP address then?

The NBC/Kansas itself is operational already. Just not fully..

Or maybe it is already, we just don't know about it.

Do we know what the contact information for Brandi Blackburn, the director in charge of the Overland Park transition and ACD for division 8?

Not really, but just found this tongue.pnghttp://www.napw.com/profile/10297233/Brandi-Blackburn/

Maybe we could register there and send her a message... tongue.png

Sounds like a plan but it looks like only female Americans can be part of this (given the 'National' part), and they have to consider the application.

I failed to locate her in LinkedIn unfortunately.

I'm considering the idea of having all of us who have twitter accounts twitting this question to the USCIS official twitter account. It doesn't look like they reply there but maybe if they got the drift that people really want to know?..

I'm the beneficiary.

Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Filing for a USC spouse visa (IR-1/CR-1) and not sure what comes next? Check out the VJ IR-1/CR-1 guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.
