Service Center MSC?
- Thread starter darude
- Start date
I believe the MSC is directly involved with petitions that deal with the LIFE Act. Here is a quote I found about it in the FAQ.
hope this helps.
The National Benefits Center was originally created as the Missouri Service Center (MSC), which was set up to process applications associated with the LIFE Act. On April 16, 2003, USCIS Director Aguirre approved the transition of the Missouri Service Center (MSC) into the National Benefits Center (NBC), which greatly expanded the scope of the Center’s operations. The NBC was primarily established to serve as the hub and conduit for all USCIS field offices by completing pre-interview processing of Forms generally requiring an interview. However, evidence of our origin remains, as all Forms receipted by the NBC still bear the receipt number prefix of “MSC.”
hope this helps.
NBC is actually not a Service Center, it is a facility under the Field Operations Directortae. They coordinate things that are under the jurisdiction of the Distrcit and Field Offices within the U.S.
If you require an interview, like for the N-400 and family based I-485, then they usually are centralized at NBC. NBC also has certain specific jurisdiction, example: orphan adoptions and FOIA.
Some employment based cases flow from a Service Center directly to a local office and some flow through NBC. USCIS is still working things out internally. It's really not anything to worry about....... It's just a workflow management thing.
