Called 1-800-375-5283 at noon today to get status about my pending application, especially to check on name-check details.
Luckily I got connected to real NSC officer instead of a REP and the nice lady officer gave me all information I wanted.
Conversation:
HER : This is Nebraska Service Center. This is ... , how can I help you.
ME : Hi, I have couple of questions regarding my pending application.
HER : Ok, what is the receipt number
I gave my LIN #. In less than 10 seconds.....
HER : Hmm. Did your application just become current.
ME : Yes, effective last friday, June 1st.
HER : So you are one of the millions. {little laughter from both sides}
HER : Everything seems to be in order & complete and your application is waiting for it to get assigned to an officer. I will not be able to tell you how long it would take to adjudicate but probably 60-90 days.
ME : Ok, thanks. Just to confirm, are my NAME-CHECKS, FP or any other checks complete.
HER : Yes, everything is complete & clear and is waiting to get assigned to an officer.
ME : How about dependant. Can I ask about them or should they call.
HER : Usually dependants are adjudicated at the same time primary is done, unless there are any pending issues like name-check for them.
I thanked her for everything.
Wait time: < 3 minutes
Talk time: < 2 minutes (I dont want to hold her for long as there may be numerous people like me to talk to them)
Reason I believe its real NSC officer (not REP): They could give details about name-check and did not initially give their ID number.
Now that the NAME-CHECK hurdle is over, I keep my fingers crossed and waiting for the approval. Hope the PDs dont go back anytime soon. Now, I dont have any plans to initiate service request. In case PDs go back in July bulletin (which we would know by around 15th of this month) then I will create service-equiry-request. I dont want to bother them till then. I wish they could concentrate on approving all our cases than attending phone calls or type service-enquiry response letter (than approval letter).
Hope my application is assigned to an officer at the earliest and wish everyone the same.
Once after you talk to real NSC officer, how long does it normally take to get approved. Any real-time experiences from any ?
