consolemaster,

We have the same timelines and our case update also changed from MSC to NBC today... Everyone seems to be saying its the same center, so maybe it's just two separate departments.

I'm expecting our case to go to the long line at the CSC next :(

Best,

/UM

I want to know from those who had their application processed at the NBC (National Benefits Center) of how long was the time to get an approval on the K-3?

The timeline link doesn't give the scatter plot for the average time need to get the K-3 adjudicated. I am curious.

It's taken me since Wednesday to realize that my message changed to:

This case is at our NATIONAL BENEFITS CENTER location ... *sigh* Been too focused on waiting for my last updated date to change!

So weird ... my I-130 has had absolutely NO touches!

My husband has dual citizenship with Canada and the US. He was born in the US but has lived in Canada for 30 years. We've been married for quite awhile. We have a 15 year old son.

For K-3, Vermont Service Center seems to average to about 40 days for an approval. I have a few more days.

You're so lucky, consolemaster! I wish so much I was going to VSC instead of CSC.

I'm not surprised that the I-130 have not even been touch yet. If I were you, don't worry about it too much. I'll keep everyone posted. Keeps your fingers crossed, or keeps holding onto that charm of yours.

Good morning.

My I-129F finally moved to CSC. I received the email this morning (somehow three emails stating same thing).

Well, I am now on the ordinary course, in the long line of CSC.
