Well, as I've said in the other posts, the notice I received in the mail said that it was done for faster processing. So hopefully that is true.

Time will tell if they are indeed being transferred correctly or as the result of a new over zealous employee that is reviewing incorrectly before routing to the various centers/offices

As of Oct 25, I've counted 7 cases on the Visa Journal forum where K-3s applications have been transferred to either the Vermont Service Center or the California Service Center. I hope all 7 of them are in the right track. Aussiewench is right. TIME will tell if they're in the right place. Otherwise, we can all get together and SUE USCIS for negligence.!!!!!

People who have been transferred.. HANG IN THERE!!!!

I also want to bring to your attention (those who have their cases transferred) to the following link. I read up on the updates from the USCIS Website:

http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/publicaffairs/pachron.htm

Scroll down to September and select the second topic - Cash Transfer Update 9/29/06.

Even though this notice talked about I-129 for H1B, etc etc, from the entire notice, you can see that all the SCs do shuffle work from 1 center to the other. As a result, we do not have to worry. If I'm guessing it right, I bet they'll post a public notice in regards to the K-3s later this month to talk about the K3s. (If they transfer enough of them, look at the numbers for H1B, 20,000, 6,000!!) I'd be sure to watch for that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As part of an ongoing effort to improve the quality and efficiency of customer service delivery, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) periodically shifts benefit processing work from one agency service center to another, in order to balance the overall workload with processing capacity.

• Form I-129: Due to unusually high workload surges over the past three months, the Vermont Service Center (VSC) transferred nearly 20,000 H-1B petitions subject to the FY 2007 annual numerical cap to the Texas Service Center (TSC) and 6,000 cap-subject H-1B petitions to the Nebraska Service Center (NSC) rather than to its “sister” service center under USCIS’ bi-specialization initiative, the California Service Center (CSC).

• Form I-360: The VSC, TSC, and NSC, transferred all of their pending Forms I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant, requesting classification as a special immigrant religious worker, to the CSC. In addition, all new Form I-360 religious worker filings received at a Service Center other than the CSC are being transferred to the CSC.

• Form I-130: Over the past 3 months, the VSC transferred approximately 20,000 Forms I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, to the CSC.

Affected customers will receive a transfer notice from USCIS.

Other than receiving correspondence from a different location, this process is a seamless change for USCIS customers. By advising our customers of the location where their case is currently being processed, the transfer notice is intended to enable customers to communicate more effectively with USCIS regarding any questions or concerns that may arise about their case while it is pending. Customers should direct their inquiries to the service center where the case is currently located.

USCIS reserves the right to transfer additional cases in the future, if necessary, in order to ensure timely case processing.

Mine was also transferred.

I took it as a good sign that things are moving along. I sure hope I'm right!

Mine was transfered to CA today. I think I am going to be going with CR1 though since I got my NOA2 fast 55 days. We will see though.

I was on Yahoo! Messenger, and I have Homer Simpsons voice as my new mail msg notification alert -- "The mail the mail the mail is here *the sound of an envelope ripping* OOOOh" -- so I got this FIVE times and my heart jumped as it was from the USCIS... but it was just a notification to say that they transferred our case to Vermont.

I hope this is good news...

It's funny how when the actually manage to email you notification you get FIVE of them - it happened to me, and other people too, very bizarre.
