INFO about Division 8 at Overland Park

[Blueberry Pancake 311]

Thank you ma'am. I guess that means the approvals are coming from Lee's Summit and not Overland Park?

Love your new picture.

Correct. And thank you..

More Q&A was posted to uscis.gov today, and though it's not for the Oct 31 meeting, there were a couple of questions pertaining to stand-alone I-130 adjudication. Shame they didn't actually answer question B, which gets at the NBC's future role in our petitions. Sounds like maybe they'll retain any non-stand-alone petitions?

Update on Stand-Alone I-130 Processing by USCIS Field Offices

Please provide an update on the processing of stand-alone I-130 petitions by USCIS field offices.

a. Are field offices still receiving and adjudicating stand-alone I-130s?

USCIS Response: There are still a small number of stand-alone Immediate Relative I-130 petitions in the Field Offices for completion. However, the Field Offices will not receive any additional stand-alone Immediate Relative I-130s for adjudication. USCIS provided information to the public regarding this issue on October 21, 2013.

b. If so, when will the NBC start adjudicating these cases again?

USCIS Response: On October 21, 2013, USCIS provided information to the public regarding the workload transfer of stand-alone Immediate Relative I-130s from the NBC to certain Service Centers. The NBC stand-alone I-130 casework is being transferred to the Nebraska, Texas and California Service Centers to balance overall workload. If a customer’s petition was transferred, he or she will receive a notice of the transfer indicating when the case was moved and to which Service Center. The I-130 receipt number will not change, and the transfer will not further delay the processing of the case.

c. Are there plans to transfer additional stand-alone I-130 petitions or other types of applications or petitions to USCIS field offices for adjudication?

USCIS Response: There are no plans to transfer additional standalone Immediate Relative Form I-130s or other form types to the field for adjudication beyond the forms that are currently adjudicated in the field (e.g., concurrently filed Form I-130s and Form I-485s, Form N-400, etc.).

BOS_LHR thanks for the posting about the meeting notes and responses... its like listening to Jay Carney talk about a subject but never answers the question! WTH... this is too much...

[BOS_LHR 829]

lol, agreed! I don't know why I watch so carefully for these things to come out, it's not like they ever say anything that we haven't figured out already for ourselves. I wonder if anyone ever presses them during the actual conferences to provide a real answer. AILA spends so much time thanking them for all the supposedly wonderful things they do, what a relief the brown nosing makes it into the notes

I see one that just opened for 145 positions in Lees Summit Missouri (near Kansas City). GS-9, open thru 20 December. And another one for GS-5/7 for another 145 vacancies.

They must be opening a new center???

Ooops I just scrolled down on the posting and it says the lob location may be Lee's Summit or Overland Park, Kansas. Says something about the "National Benefits Center."

They're coming to America.

145 vacancies- could it be that they are thinking on opening the... *gasp* ... Division 8?

Would certainly be nice..... Not holding my breath though

For what it's worth, after my petition was approved I received back my original documents from Overland Park, KS. Might not mean much, but I thought it was at least worth mentioning.

I still don't know where exactly my petition was approved though since I haven't received the hard copy of the NOA2.

[nightingalejules 678]

Just gonna give this topic a bump... has anyone heard whether Kansas is up and running? (and approving???? )

Nope.

And they have no plans to.

If they did, Vermont would not be processing petitions for late 2013 filers.

At least I know their storage space is oversized one
