Welcome everyone!

I was just curious, when you got your NOA1, did it say your case was routed to Lee's Summit, MO or Overland Park, KS?

Ours was sent to Overland Park, KS and I was just wondering what the difference is?

IR1 took 520 days....

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

Lee's Summit, MO and Overland Park, KS are both NBC facilities to my understanding. There is no difference.

Yup, they're both NBC. I was just wondering, if everyone's cases got sent to Kansas or if some cases went to Missouri. The information is of no importance to anyone I guess, I was just being curious.

Ahhh I see. Mine went to Missouri.

Our application was sent to Overland Park, Kansas as well.

Does anyone know how the processing times are at the Kansas facility? It seems like the office started processing I-130 petitions relatively recently so I'm hoping that they are not as backed up as the other offices?

Thank you everyone for your comments! I read somewhere else in VJ that most cases are now going to Overland Park, KS but that is clearly not the case, since half of the us four have cases that have gone to Missouri. I wonder why some get sent to Kansas and some to Missouri of if it is just a random selection.

Does anyone know how the processing times are at the Kansas facility? It seems like the office started processing I-130 petitions relatively recently so I'm hoping that they are not as backed up as the other offices?

This is exactly what I'm wondering, if Kansas and Missouri will have different processing times? Kinda like VSC and CSC have had? I guess being new might mean two things; not being as backed up or being backed up because they are new and don't know what they're doing haha. Let's hope it's the former.

^Thanks for checking!

Husband called today to USCIS just as a routine check up on our case status and I made him ask about the difference between Missouri and Kansas. The rep said that there's no particular reason why they send the cases to MO or KS, they just sent them to the one that has less cases pending. Now, I don't know if this is really the case, or this is just something they tell the callers to get rid of them :D

Oh and the rep also said our case will stay at Overland Park since we are filing from abroad, but that's something we already knew.

Yeah, that's what I've read too. Folks who file from abroad will stay at NBC instead of being transferred to a Local Field Office.

My case number starts with MSC, does this mean it stays at NBC and doesn't end up at a local office?

Do all May filers have MSC numbers? Does MSC or other numbers tell us more about the processing of the petition (where and timeline)?

MSC just means your petition is being processed at the NBC. It does not mean your petition will stay at NBC.

Most petitions are transferred to Local Field Offices unless you filed from abroad or for some other rare reason.
