National Benefits Center and our I-485

My husband (a visa overstayer from Trinidad) and I (U.S. citizen) married in the USA 2010. A few months after we married, we filed the forms I-485, I-130, and I-765. On all the notices, the received date is September 26, 2010 and the notice date is October 1, 2010. We did not receive any RFE's and I assume that everything in our application was recevied.

On November 5, my husband did his biometrics and he received his work permit approximately 3 weeks later.

Now it is April 1 (more than 6 months since we filed), and we haven't heard anything. We live in NYC and assumed that the Vermont Service Center was actually processing our case (which has processing times of the I-485 listed as 9/25/2010). We tried to call USCIS today and were told that our case is at the National Benefit Center and there are no processing times listed. Why is our case at the National Benefit Center and what should we expect???

We thought we would've had the interview by now. We want to travel abroad this summer. Is this normal and should we be worried? Do you think we will get an interview date soon????????
 
same happened to me

the same happens to me, wen the main service centers are full of applications, they send the ones that can not process to the national benefit center (MSC), i had my I-485 application filed with the Vermont Service Center, and they transferred to MSC, it took exactly 4 months after I filed my application to receive my card, maybe yours is delayed because it has 3 applications in one, otherwise idk what is happening, good luck :)
