We filed I-130 for my mom in Jan. Priority date 1/12/2022. Not sure why it was sent to NBC. I read in the forums that NBC takes forever. Is there anything we can do to get the case moved from NBC to any other service center?

I Submitted I-130 for my Mother 26th January in Dallas, Texas Lockbox . Received my Application notice letter from California Service Center. Don't know how long does it takes this service center. I heard this service takes quite long time to approved for parents I-130 Application. Any Information would be much appreciated.

It looks like California Service Center reduced their backlog significantly.

At the moment https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ says it's 6.5 - 8.5 months for a parent of USC.

I believe it used to be close to 24 months couple of months ago.

Question for recent filers: the online form asks if the beneficiary has ever been in the U.S. Answering yes to that question prompts additional questions that seem to then fill out items 46a.-d as if they are still in the U.S. when they are not. Just checking to see how recent filers went about that assuming they did it online?

Here's the answers I used:

 

45. Was the beneficiary EVER in the United States? - YES

 

46.a. He or she arrived as a (Class of Admission): B2

 

Then goes i-94 number, arrival and stay expired dates.

 

Hope that helps.

I had applied I130 for my parents in Aug 30 2021 - applied at Texas, but file landed in CSC. The current date is Aug 31 2021.

When will we get NOA2 and it will be xferred to NVC?

Also how long it will take for the final papers to move from NOA2->NVC->CP (for us to go for interview). Is this timeframe line 2-3 years like how its being reported in "processing timelines" tracker here in VJ?

Also in this gap , should we arrive in USA on workvisa, can we do modify this application for adjustment of status?
