Does anyone know how long NSC takes to send the actual file to Chicago after the transfer notice has been sent.

Chicago BCIS office has a notice board saying that it is taking 22 months for I-485 processing. But there are a lot of people here who have been waiting for much more than 22 months. I also overheard one of the immigration officers telling a person in line ahead of me that it was taking...

Thanks King2378 for your reply. I did the same and my lawyer has faxed a letter to California and Nebraska. Did your online status message change after your file was transferred to Seattle. Thanks

When I called BCIS customer service number twice they said that it is taking 90 days to process for AP at NSC. They can initiate an inquiry after 90 days but from other's experience in this forum it does not produce any results. I guess the best alternative is to try and get an emergency AP...
