What is the MSC Field Office or Service Center?

[jakelake 222]

I am trying to check the I-751 case processing times for the MSC from the USCIS site.

What's listed are California, Nebraska, Potomac, Texas and Vermont Service centers.

Which one does MSC fall under or is there another way to track it?

MCS is the Missouri Service Center or NBC......good luck on finding any useful data.  I found it impossible.

As I stated, what's listed are California, Nebraska, Potomac, Texas and Vermont Service centers. I am looking for information on the MSC.

If MSC is All Field Offices, that time frame is an astounding 22 to 49 months with a receipt date for a case inquiry of July 29, 2017.

MSC is not all field offices.  MSC is the Missouri Service Center. 

 

By the way, we filed my wife's case in late March 2019.  It went to MSC.  We are still waiting for an interview....Hopefully, your journey will be faster...Good Luck.

sorry,  this also happened to me but for CR1 

and it was prior covid

i had a CR1 at Nebraska and after 10 months it was sent to Missouri for faster processing

my notice said "give it 60 days and then i could inquire  /i gave it more than 60 as thanksiving,  Christmas and New year holidays were going on

Missouri didn't have any information about the case so it took another 6 months when i did inquire although i sent copy of my notice 

sorry ,  but the system seems screwed up

MSC is also NBC National Benefit Center. ROC cases routed there from the beginning and some transferred cases, specifically CR1 require an interview and this service center process those cases until local offices are ready to receive them. The long wait is because of long queues at local offices. Some local offices have less traffic than others and are able to process cases faster. If your case was routed to NBC from the beginning, look for ROC processing time at your local office.

[jakelake 222]

I understand that MSC is also the National Benefit Center and I also understand that MCS stands for Missouri Service Center.

However, you don't see MSC as one of the listings. 

 

How does one check for the MSC processing times?

[Crazy Cat 42,031]

I believe that most of us who end up at MSC WILL be interviewed.  It's just a matter of the local office workload.  In my wife's case, we filed in late March 2019.....On May the 29th, 2019, we were notified that the case is ready to be scheduled for an interview.  At one time, I was managing a spreadsheet of VJ members whose I-751s were are MSC.  Unfortunately, it was continually being scrambled, so I abandoned it .  Honestly, I have been unable to find a better way to track MSC I-751s.  If you find a way, please let me know.

I am in the same boat…. No way to really track MCS processing times because they go to NBC so I am just going to stop stressing about it. Spent 10 months stressing and tracking processing times for my CR1, aged 10 years 🤣

MSC means you wil have an interview, so it's your local field office's processing times you need to look at, not NBC.

There are no processing times for NBC in regards to i-751s as the case is only going there temporarily to go through interview preparation. Then it just sits there and collects dust until the local field office is ready to schedule an interview. NBC is the quick part, it's the field office you need to keep an eye on.

You cannot track MSC, the old Missouri service center, all cases routed there are scheduled for an interview, it took me 10 months to receive an interview from the day we applied for I-751. From Texas our file went to MSC then to the USCIS office in Tampa. The only way to track processing time is from other people cases on the internet sites.

Howdy,

 

I wanted to jump into this MSC National Benefits Center i-751 filers discussion.  Is that spreadsheet still being updated?  EDIT:  I saw in another post that it's not, but I'll contribute here anyway. 

 

We have a somewhat interesting case, and just got another (unexpected) NoA, extending my wife's green card by an additional 6 months (beyond the original 18 month extension). This is good, because it was looking like we might have run out of time right around the 18 month mark.  Now we have a little more breathing room.

In related news... it's now been about 15 months since USCIS received our application.  We did have a single RFE a few months ago, because I apparently failed to check a single box (that was not obvious to me that I needed to check on my first time through).  I turned that around overnight, but I'm assuming that probably cost us about a month of extra delay, anyway.

 

The last automated estimate I got from the VJ bots was about a year ago (before I temporarily unsubscribed from those predictions).  At that time, our estimated interview date was around Feb 2022.  Now, I'll assume it's around March, unless I hear otherwise.  As mentioned in my previous post (which I was unable to edit due to time-out, hence the double post), we've been "Ready to be scheduled for an interview" since 30 Sept 2021.  

Our local Field office would be Portland, OR, but I can't find any i751 processing times for them.  The "Receipt date for case inquiry" now, though is 26 Nov 2018, and the processing time for "All Field Offices" is  21.5 to 37 months (as of today's date).  I know that's not the same as MSC/NBC, but I can't seem to find any data on processing times for our local field office, either.  So... not sure how to get at any reasonable predictions whatsoever for our case.
