dependant AOS case stuck at NBC even after primary approval-is that normal?
Hey everyone,
I wanted to see if anyone has gone through something similar with a dependent AOS case. My employment-based Adjustment of Status (EB-based AOS) was approved at the beginning of October, but my wife’s case hasn’t moved at all. Her last update was back in June of last year when USCIS marked her RFE response as received. Nothing since then.
I called USCIS today to ask what’s going on, and they told me her case is currently at the National Benefits Center (NBC). That threw me off a bit because I assumed her file would’ve been transferred to the same field office that handled mine. So now I’m trying to figure out a couple things:
• Is it normal for the dependent’s I-485 to still be sitting at the NBC even after the primary applicant is approved?
• Why would it stay there instead of following the primary case to the field office?
• And most importantly… what can I actually do to get this moving? it’s been radio silence for over a year now.
If anyone has been through this or understands the NBC workflow better, I’d really appreciate any insight.
Thanks in advance!
