We sent our application ( I-130, I-485. I-765, I-131 ) on 2019-10-24. I am on H1b and my wife is US Citizen.

 

NOA -1 => 2019-11-07

Bio-metrics => 2019-11-25

 

Current Status - 

Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken

As of November 25, 2019, fingerprints relating to your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt Number xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, have been applied to your case. 

 

 

I contacted USCIS and they said your file is with National Benefits Center. Does anyone how long after biometrics file stays with NBC and when it is moved to local field office? 

 

Happy New Year everyone.

It looks like they’re moving very slowly through July. From what I’ve seen, I don’t think they have even started working on August yet. This really is a long and painful process.

My case is in Texas Office. I see Visa Journey's Processing Time shows they are currently in July 30.

 

It seems like they will be approving October fillers by April.

I have seen a few random August and September approvals from Texas on FB. Doesn’t appear to be any order at all.

Even though they say otherwise, I am convinced that the state the petitioner lives in is still the determinant of which service center it is assigned to. They used to call it "jurisdiction over which the service center serves". My research confirmed in all the cases I reviewed that this system is still largely in play. I checked for all petitioners on the east coast from MA to GA and each of them got assigned to Potomac SC. I live in the DC metropolitan area and was sent there as well as previous predecessors. By the way,  Potomac SC is located in Arlington, VA (DC Metropolitan area).

I live in east TN and got Nebraska.
