Hello everyone. I just received an email from USCIS stating that my I-130 was received and it has been routed to the USCIS National Benefits Center for processing. I checked my bank account and I see that the check for $420 has been processed.

My questions are the following:

1) What do I need to do now? I read previous forums here and it seems that now we have to wait, but I am not sure what to do to be proactive with the application. I tried looking for answers on the flow charts and I was unable to find anything regarding my application being sent here.

2) Does anyone know about how long will the application remain here before it is sent to the next stage?

I live in CA and my husband is in Mexico. I filled the application at the AZ location.

thank you

It is normal to be sent to the NBC. Your USCIS case number probably begins with MSC. All good. It may stay there for a month or two before being transferred to your local office. You will not usually be notified when your case is transferred to the local office for processing. There's nothing proactive you can do to make it go faster. From what you say here, your filing location is actually the Arizona lockbox, not the California Service Center (unless your case number actually begins with CSC).

You have a wait of approximately five to seven months (on average) before your case is processed and you have a decision. If they want something from you, they will let you know. At that time you should be prompt in sending them whatever information is missing, if any. In the meantime, get together your financial supporting evidence for the affidavit of support (search the forum for a lot of great advice on that).

thank you speedwell for your response. I have been reading a lot of forums and I have a list of all the things I have to do. I will start gathering all the remaining documents and items, and I guess just wait for them. And yes I sent my application to Arizona. I am really hoping my husband can be with me by the end of the year :)

thank you.

Congratulations! My wife's petition was routed to the NBC as well. I'm hoping she's able to spend Christmas with me.

Best of luck to the both of us! God bless!
