Last week I sent my AOS papers and this morning, i received an e-mail stating my case has been accepted and routed to the USCIS National Benefits Center for processing. Within 7-10 days by standard mail you will receive your official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) with your Receipt Number @&-/)):$.

What's the average days when being processed at NBC? Do all k1 AOS files being forwarded to National Benefits Center alone or also in other service centers?

Thanks! ?

It takes about 75-90 days to get the EAD/AP combo card.
We filed in May 2015 and still don't have the GC, some stay at NBC and some are transferred to local or even other

out of state field offices. Many K1's don't get interviews.

Damn, I hope you guys hear something soon. If not, start contacting congressperson and ombudsman. Your wait time is getting into the obscenely ridiculous zone.

We are in background checks according to tier2.

Not much I can do and it's ok with me if they delay another 5 months so he can get the 10 yr GC.

Money and hassle saved, sick and tired of this process.

What makes me nervous is not getting the EAD/AP card soon enough, they seem to be a bit delayed too.

We may decide to request a EAD expedite after day 75.
