Nebraska Service Center – Processing Statistics
In a recent AILA-Nebraska Service Center (“NSC”) teleconference, the NSC Director provided some helpful statistics about the Nebraska Service Center operations in 2009:
- The NSC processed over 950,000 applications and petitions in 2009, including 250,000 cases for EADs and more than 200,000 travel documents, including Travel Documents for refugees, asylees and permanent residents.
- 252,000 cases were pending at the end of the fiscal year (September 30, 2009) just completed compared to 390,000 at the end of prior fiscal year.
- Many of the 252,000 cases now pending are I-485s that are pre-adjudicated, but are pending because of visa availability or background checks.
- All of the 140,000 immigrant visas allocated for the fiscal year just completed were used.
- The National Benefits Center (“NBC”) will be transferring I-90s to the NSC for adjudication, so attorneys can expect to see fee receipts for I-90’s with a LIN receipt number. The volume of I-90s is expected to be around 500,000 a year.
