I don't understand this mail from National Benefits center Missouri
I filed premium processing EB2 NIW since April 4 to Phoenix Arizona. After waiting about 2 months, no receipt number, check was not cleared, no response after contacting lockbox Email, and no luck with USCIS agents. I also realized I didn't pay the assylum fee. I decided to stop the cashier's check to start a new application. I printed another application bundle and about to send, I received a package from National Benefits center, Missouri (which is surprising, since I sent to Arizona) with no title. It contains few 100 pages exhibits from my original application, my cashiers checks and a letter that reads in part:
"This is in response to the attached correspondence/check, which you mailed to the National Benefits Center (NBC).The NBC does not receipt in applications or accept fees for the USCIS"
I don't know what this means. Is this a rejection letter, should I go ahead and send a new package?

you are supposed to send i140 to lockbox and not the national benefit center.

you sent it to the wrong address. use the i140 filing address to decide which lockbox to send it to. it depends on which state you’re going to work or where you are living in the case of NIW or EB1A.

But I checked the website, Phoenix AZ Lockbox is the one that corresponds to the state I want to work in with Premium processing. And I sent to Phoenix Lockbox.

that’s interesting. for i140, it shouldn’t even be sent to NBC. it will be reviewed at Texas or Nebraska.

does your tracking number specify that it was delivered to the Phoenix address?
Temi AJun 18, 2024
Yes, it successfully delivered to the Phoenix address. And my original document has the receipt date stamped on all pages. Same date tracking number showed

choose one of the regional service center responsible for NIW, only then would they be able to open your application, except you want to send online. and ask emma, the Center adjudicating NIW.

forget Phoenix Arizona office, if is not responsible to take care of cases like yours, so check for where you can send, am not sure try and check with this centers, Texas Service Center, Nebraska Service Center. You should find help. pls be careful. pls.
