Processing Times (I-751) for MSC (National Benefits Center)

[tyz 0]

CA applicant, entered with CR1, got NOA 1 on 6/27 with MSC.....

After reading numerous pages here, is MSC a IV and biometric guaranteed center? and a way longer processing time comparing to others?

My friend submitted 3 weeks earlier and got WAC...but I was told that they only provided 4 pages of supporting documents, whereas I provided 20-30 pages at least..

Did I just complicate my case to a more difficult center?

 

if anyone can answer my doubts,

 

Thanks in advance

They sent your petition to MSC because USCIS has not interviewed you since you entered the US. The rules changed in 12/2018. Now USCIS interviews those who entered the US on a CR-1 visa. 

Interviews are not necessarily a bad thing. They just want to see additional evidence and ask questions regarding your marriage.

Honestly, the interview is just a formality, most likely due to changes in rules with the last administration. Don't need to overthink it. Some people sent hundreds of pages of evidence and still got RFE and interview. Quantity over quality, in my opinion. I won't call MSC a difficult centre, although it certainly isn't as fast as some other centres as I believe MSC is the one that processes cases requiring interviews. Just sit tight and wait, and in the meantime, keep collecting new evidence to prove your bonafide marriage.

Just filed and receipt text received yesterday so waiting for my NOA in the mail , was also sent to MSC

MSC is not a slow center, they process cases pretty quick. The delay for cases requiring interviews occur at local offices. They have a very long queue and the delay varies from location.

I wouldnt give them credit. I filed back in dec of 2018 when i was in WA. The local office was seattle, i moved to florida last year and the Miami local office is keeping the tradition.

I just received our I-797 notice of action today. I noticed that it does not include a priority date. That line is just blank. Any ideas about what that means?

I-751 has been pending for 2 years(8/2019), so we submitted N400 online yesterday.

What is your local office? If you don’t mind me asking. Also does your status say ‘Ready to schedule interview?

I understand your situation, mine has been "ready to schedule for an interview" since December 2019. Same Dallas, Tx. Filed July 24th, 2019. Transferred to MSC.

My local office is Atlanta and status has been ready to schedule since Oct 2020. Filed n400 in march 2021 and hoping to get a combo interview.

Received another Staus update on 6/14/21 that my notice was sent back to USCIS because it could not be delivered. Called and chatted with officer, no idea what notice, requested callback-callback came 3 weeks later. It was a second biometrics appointment, no idea why. Officer referred my request to NBC directly. Got reply today (less than 24 hours! What?) that I don’t need to come to a second biometrics appointment. I got status update that my case is ready to be scheduled for interview on April 7, 21. 
Anyhow, despite confirming my address with USCIS multiple times, scheduling department at NBC does not put my apt no on my mail. Despite having my name and address in my mailbox, this mail will be returned to USCIS. 
I hope they fixed it, because I don’t want this happening with my interview notice. 
How can this be so chaotic?
