Possible for EB cases to be adjudicated at NBC?
Just checking if it's possible for cases (especially employment-based) to be fully processed and adjudicated at NBC.
I've seen couple of API updates without event codes and asking Emma, the case still is at NBC. have people got approvals directly from there without cases moving to FO?

l was chatting with Emma agent, they mentioned higher chances that my case would be adjudicate at NBC, but it all depends on officer started looking your case at NBC.

Based on prior threads, I believe tht this is a yes. Could I ask how to check for API updates?

thanks all.
@All is Well , search for USCIS API on reddit. it has detailed steps which will explain how to check things.

this is what I gathered from posts on reddit:
it starts with NBC and if the case is straightforward it may get approved in NBC itself.
otherwise most common is for it to get distributed to non-local FOs for final adjudication.
if interview is needed it moves to local FO
and it can move back to NBC for final aggregation when linked cases were processed by different FOs

our case was approved 10 days ago. it was processing and approved at NBC. it took about 10 months

@Younes B API only works for people with receipt number IOE as their case is processed online and linked to their USCIS account.
