@LarryMark Lanray Case was moved from NBC to non local field office in Norfolk.

so some people approved really fast while others that so long. is there a reason for this? does this depend on the service center?
Dee IAug 3, 2025
@Augustus C the field office your case is transferred to for final adjudication determines when you will receive your approval. Some field offices are very efficient while some are very slow… it’s all luck at this point
