IBFA Case Study

Improved Essays
Immediately following the sample selection, the receipt numbers for all the IBFA cases were provided to the National Benefits Center (NBC) and SCOPS. NBC will determine the location of the concurrently filed I-130 and I-485 petitions, complete TECS (SQ11) checks, and issue Request For Evidence (RFE). The Service Centers will determine the location of all stand-alone petitions and related family files (family files will be routed together) and prepare the files for interviews. Once the files are interview ready, NBC and the Service Centers will ship the files to the appropriate field offices. During the file tracking and handling process, NBC, the Service Centers, and the local field offices will notify OP&S if any cases have been rejected, closed, withdrawn, have national security concerns, or will be delayed at the FBI fingerprinting process. OP&S staff will update the statuses of these cases. Rejected petitions are ineligible for the study and will be replaced with eligible petitions selected using the same sampling methods noted earlier.

Based on the FY14 I-130 production volume at field offices, OP&S staff estimates that 11 of the 26 districts will process less than 10 IBFA cases and another 13 districts will process between 11 and 23 IBFA cases. The two remaining districts (New York and Los Angeles), with the highest production volume may process up to 50 IBFA cases. Districts with disproportionately lower production volumes in FY14 may process as few as three IBFA
