I’ve connected w live agent via Emma few times, continue to say my app is at NBC. I tried getting update on Emma on which office my app is in and the agent disconnected the chat after copying and pasting standard processing timeline language in chat. Has this happened to anyone? Is it cuz I keep checking in every 2-3 weeks?
Message VikJan 18, 2023
I’ve received a response from Emma live agent before, today agent disconnected. Should I be concerned !?!

Gabi PJan 18, 2023
same situation (EB1C). case transferred to NBC in October. I heard from Emma that they moved it to the Tampa FO in November, but since then, have heard nothing
Immi IzJan 18, 2023
guys only thing we can do is help each other by sharing any new info or movement in your case. Don't forget to share any progress :)

thanks for sharing this, I’m on the same boat
Revi hJan 19, 2023
my case was transferred from Texas to NBC and then immediately to a field office on August. I’ve talked several times with live agents to verify status and see if my case is still in the same FO. we finally got a medical RFE only for my son on December (we filed medical with the applications and it’s still within the 2 years so I guess it means they lost his file). responded 12 days ago. now we are waiting… hoping to finally get the green card soon. so that some got it almost right after and some waited long months…
Immi IzJan 19, 2023
thanks Revi for sharing this ..so they are apparently processing August cases so my case September shouldn't be that far.. please keep us posted on your case progress this helps a lot 🙏

really hope my case will be transferred from NBC to field office soon. do I have to ask Emma to know if my case is transferred to FO or will I receive an update that my case is transferred to FO?
dak zekeJan 19, 2023
most of the time you will not receive update if case transferred to FO. ask emma, Which FO is processing my A-file. Emma will either tell you the FO name or say its at NBC

Message VikJan 26, 2023
yup we’re all in same boat - no clue the sequence of operation. I did hear somewhere they do a number of security checks again at the end of the process, incl fbi, etc etc before approval or sending the app to Field Office
Message VikJan 26, 2023
I’m really not sure how they process at nbc, how much comes pre processed from Nebraska
Revi hJan 26, 2023
mine was transferred to nbc at the end august 22 and at the next business day to a field office. this is after our 140 and was were approved. since then we were waiting for the 485 approval. status for my husband changed back to biometric received (from case transfer) in October. we thought it’s a sign but nothing happened after. in December they asked for medical for my son. only for him. (even though we sent it along with ours). his case was updated to response received about 2 weeks ago. hoping this is a good sign… but still no movement with the case…
Immi IzJan 26, 2023
@Revi it definitely good sign that they asked for medicals. I guess not too long for u.. please keep us posted on any news

service request

could service request help case to be processed faster?
Immi IzJan 28, 2023
it might but you can only put service request "after" the normal processing time window
Message VikJan 28, 2023
Anna - doubt it. I got the canned response “Our review indicates that this case is within our current processing time.”

btw I had submitted this service request on Nov 7, took ~90 days to get this response
Message VikJan 28, 2023
there a catch 22, even though your case is at NBC you should look at the Nebraska or service center processing time cuz NBC technically doesn’t have a normal processing time window
Message VikJan 28, 2023
basically look at processing time where you originally submitted the app

and not where it is currently

This thread is great! I’m in the same boat. my case was transferred from NSC to NBC early September and in Oct my status changed to FP were taken but hasn’t changed since then. Early this week from a tier 1 agent I got to know that my case was transferred in Sept to the Alburqueque FO but it is currently awaiting some documents. Anyone knows what these documents could be? I have not received any notification. PS my EAD is still pending.
Immi IzFeb 4, 2023
agent didn't tell u what docs? didn't u tell him that u didn't receive rfe?

the agent disconnected, I will try this week to ask them if the documents they are awaiting are from me or is it something internal. It is very weird I didn’t get an RFE

An update from my end.
My spouse and my I-485s got approved today (EB1C India)
We were basically in the same boat as folks in this thread.
2/3/2021 : I-140 Priority Date
5/6/2021: I-485 Receipt Date (filed concurrently once PD was current for EB1 India)
I-140 Approved: 8/23/2022 (this was a very frustrating journey. Initially with Texas for 12 months, Texas transferred it to NBC without adjudicating it in Mar 2022, and then we had to employ Congressman Inquiry and PP, after which it moved from NBC to Nebraska, where it was ultimately approved)
9/13/2022: I-485 transferred back to NBC from Nebraska
10/23/2022: Was told by Level 1 agent that case was transferred to Imperial CA field office (not my local field office)
2/7/2023: Recieved Medical RFE from FO. Letter was dated 2/3/2023. Spouse got Medical RFE, and RFE for Marital Life. We got married in Jan 2021 while we both were in US, may be that’s why.
2/17/2023: Response to RFE submitted via USPS priority mail
2/23/2023: Response to RFE received by USCIS
2/28/2023: Status changed to New Card being Produced for both of us
3/1/2023: Case was Approved for both of us.
Hope this information helps others who are waiting patiently like we were. Good luck to you all.
