Workload Transfer from National Benefits Center to Service Centers

USCIS recently began transferring some casework from the National Benefits Center to the Nebraska, Texas and California Service Centers to balance overall operational workload. The affected casework includes the following form:

Effect on Customers

If your case was transferred, USCIS will send you a notice listing the transfer date and where your case will be processed. Your original receipt number will not change and this will not further delay the processing of your case.

How to Track the Status of Your Case

We have recently updated the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov with processing times for Form I-130 cases filed by U.S. citizens for their eligible immediate relatives. Please check the processing times for your petition before inquiring about your case. Please also note that, if your case is transferred to another USCIS office, you should refer to the processing times for the office that has received your case.

You can check the status of your case at www.uscis.gov by entering your receipt number in the“Check Status” field. Additionally, you can sign up to receive automatic case status updates by email as your case is processed. If you have not received a decision on your case within the published processing time, you may submit an inquiry using e-Request or contact the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) at 1-800-375-5283. For TDD hearing impaired assistance, please call 1-800-767-1833. When making any case status inquiries, you should reference your original receipt number and indicate that your case was transferred to a new location.

If you have filed a Form I-130 and you receive a request for evidence or any other type of communication from USCIS, please read the notice carefully to ensure that you respond to the same service center that sent you the notice.

If you move while your case is pending, you can change your address on the USCIS website or contact the NCSC so that USCIS can notify you of any further action on your case. It is important that you notify USCIS of any change of address as soon as possible after moving.

Interview Date is november 18, 2014 :dancing: :goofy: :idea:

I tried the new e-Request inputting my info for the I-129F, K3 visa. It will be seven months since I filed for the K3 (Oct 10). After filling in the info and pressing "send" I got an instant reply that I was within normal processing times. So I guess the whole 5 month K3 national average processing times is incorrect!

I'm not surprised and am kind of glad I've held off on filing the I-129F for now. So dumb.

Our congressman is going to put in a status request for our K3 visa application only (not the I-130). I have said I am not interested in the I-130 (we have all read about the "wait six months from the date of this letter" response the senators/congress get). I want to know if the K3 is being processed and what is the processing time for the K3 at NBC.

If they are processing k3s and the wait time is in fact five months as stated, then I am going to try my luck with a Case Assistance Form (DHS-7001) through the Dept of Homeland, CIS Ombudsman. There is a box that you can tick "I am experiencing processing delays with a case that are beyond anticipated processing times". I will have completed their checklist (visited case status; contacted ntl service center; info pass (not available to me);contacted Congressional Rep.). It's amazing what you can find on the internet!

I sent an email to the CIS Ombudsman Office but they will not look into your situation until the DHS-7001 has been filed with their office.

I figured it's worth a try!

I would really like to know what you find out. My K3 is at 4 months now. What your talking about doing was my plan also, just i'm not at 5 months yet.

Good luck
