Clarifying NBC vs. Service Center Roles in I-485
My PD is 6th December 2022 (became current in April 2025).
My case has been pending CRP since July 2024.
In December 2023, I’ve received a transfer notice moving my LIN24068 (receipt block) AOS filing from the Nebraska Service Center to the National Benefits Center (NBC). My understanding is that NBC only does intake and pre‑processing (fee/form review, biometrics, name‑check and background screening, and holding the file until the priority date is current) and does not issue approvals, RFEs, or interview notices. Once NBC finishes, the case is sent back to the original Service Center (LIN) or a local Field Office for final adjudication. Does that match your experience and sound accurate?
My priority date has been current for two months. What timelines did you see from NBC completion to final decision? What should I expect?
I see the majority of cases in my receipt blocks are not on CRP.
Thanks for helping out!

incorrect, NBC does sometimes issue approvals on its own without any field office involvement. it’s all case by case. PD Dec 2022 here too and still waiting
