Okay, so I was reading another post about recent meeting notes from the NBC about how they hope to speed up I-130 approvals and it mentions how they currently send ajudicated applications (I'm assuming its the "judged" definition of the word in this case) bi-weekly to local field offices based on applicant's zip code. So far, so good, I follow and understand. But then if I go to the USCIS site to check the processing times at my local field office (which is Albany, NY) the I-130 form is not listed to be checked. :-(

So does this mean that I-130s are not processed in Albany? What becomes of my processing time once its been "ajudicated" by the NBC and supposedly shipped off to my local field office?

Very frustrating.

Yes that is indeed the thread and report I was referring to. It is actually much easier to understand if you follow the original poster's link to the actual report and read everything they have to say. Actually gives me some sort of hope.

Thanks for that link to the chart! Perfect :-)

You misinterpret something. The NBC sends the petitions to local offices to be adjudicated not after they're adjudicated. Generally after your petition has been at the NBC for 2-3 months they will send it to the local office. NOw the local office may be having a good month or they might be seriously backed up. It depends.

Concerning I-130s it says: "The CSC and the Vermont Service Center (VSC) began shipping stand-alone

Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relatives, filed for Immediate Relatives, to the NBC. Once NBC adjudicates an I-130 petition, it forwards it to the perspective field office bi-weekly based on the petitioner’s zip code."

But then later it says:

"a) What is the status of the transition of stand-alone I-130s to the NBC?
Response: NBC continues to receive I-130s and ship them to the appropriate filed office for
adjudication. Based on staffing, we anticipate being able to adjudicate these in the fall."
So are they adjudicated twice? Kinda sounds like it. But then it sounds like they are planning to adjudicate the forms themselves at the new Division 8 place in the fall. If they aren't already ajudicating first and then sending them elsewhere to be further adjudicated. huh.png I'll just keep waiting patiently and try to remind myself that I love the US.
