Recent experience with family-based immigration application at NBC?

Please help give me advice

Please help: did anyone here file I485 through marriage to US citizen and have their case processing in National Benefits Center? My case has been pending in NBC for one year and 7 months (RD: Oct 2003). Please let me know if you have been waited for that long. I have spent enough money to renew my EAD and AP. Please advice me if I should contact someone to help or not. I did everything by myself and sent thousands of letters inquring the case status to NBC, but never get any reponse. Please advice. I have browsed this website and haven't seen any case like mine been through this long.

It came from missouri.
Thanks for the kind words and good luck to you guys also.
I know I'm not done yet but this website along with its members has been of tremendous help substituting as a high paid lawyer and psychiatrist

Here's a question i just thought of
does the F1/sevis system make the application process/background check easier?
I ask because it seems as if the members here who are F1 students have a fairly smooth process

Hello. Gatorlink, good luck! It's very fast, seems very good news for us. Also did you check your process information online? I was wondering if they put note online first before they send the interview letter. I submitted AOS on April 1st. My case status for I-485 didn't change since April 8. Now I just did fingerprint a week ago, on line shows my I-765 is approved. But I-485 has still no change although they "updated" it on May 25th.

That is right.
 
montanagriz, zoomzoom, amherst22,

All checks (130,131,765 and 485) were cashed on 5/31/05! Yippie!! :) To paraphrase somebody's message, " Never been so happy to see money being taken out of my account!"
Anyways, No notice as yet. Hopefully, will get it in a couple of days or so.
Timeline:
Documents received by USCIS : 5/02/2005
Checks cashed : 5/31/2005 - Day 28

Mine was approved and mailed on May 25th and I received on May 31st. That includes 2 Holidays (Sunday & Mem. Day). You will be fine.
 
update

Got receipt notices, checks were cashed and scheduled BIO.

Sorry for not updating you yesterday, wanted to wait what the appointment will be. In the heat of the joy scheduled an appoitment via Infopass right away only to realize that you CANNOT use Infopass to schedule BIO and FP appointments, as this is taking place in an entirely different office :(. Called the 800# this morning and got an appointment 4 weeks out, not great, but also not as bad as I feared. Might give it a shot and try to move up the date later this week, nothing to lose I guess...

Also, once you get your receipt notices, you can register right away at https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp to obtain electronic updates and check the status online.

After some celebration, another waiting period begins... Good luck to you all!

Day 1 04/29/05 Mailed the package to NBC
Day 5 05/03/05 RD
Day 29 05/27/05 ND on AOS,AP,EAD I-797c
Day 33 05/31/05 Checks cashed
Day 33 05/31/05 all I-797c's received
Day 63 06/30/05 Fingerprints appointment

Sorry to hear that you have been having problems. I have a pending case but I just filed in April. It seems like other people have been getting approvals pretty smoothly. Maybe you should contact an attorney to help you out.
