Not all. Not even most I don't think. The simple answer to that question is "we don't know" :( There are a lot of cases on here where the USC is in the US and the beneficiary abroad and yet their case never seems to have left NBC. So I'm not sure what the criteria is that would keep the file at NBC instead of transferring to a field office, but there's seems to be one.

Thank you! I am still in shock, to be honest. And I feel kind of guilty, as there are others that have been waiting much longer. But, I figure it's one less case cluttering up a desk at USCIS so they can get on to processing the next ones.

Oh, don't feel guilty! We don't really know what happens when petitions are at USCIS.

Enjoy it! And prepare for NVC! :)

Congrats! Hey don't feel guilty. It is what it is. I'm starting to get the feeling that USCIS has A LOT of I-130s to process right now and probably the cases where the petitioner and beneficiary are living together are easier for them to get out of the way...hopefully it's so they can get to the other cases faster.

Any Jan filers find out if their cases were transferred to local offices? I know its still early for us but wondering if everyone is still at NBC like me.

I am the petitioner.

I don't know about ours yet. I'm such a noob. Can I call even if I'm the beneficiary?

Sorry, no, you must be the petitioner/applicant (the USC, for an I-130). They don't know that you have any recognizable relationship with the USC until the I-130 is approved.

I'm a dual US/Hungarian citizen (both by birth; Hungarian citizenship verification TBA), and my husband is a dual British/Irish citizen (by treaty) from Northern Ireland. We are atheists.

All advice is given pursuant to the Disclaimer that you may read at the bottom of each forum page.

LATEST STEPS:

28 Jun 2013: POE Houston

08 Jul 2013: SSN received (at SSA office)

07 Aug 2013: Green Card received

27 Feb 2014: Whoa, life happened. Planning move "back home" together to Republic of Ireland by end of April.

29 Apr 2014: POE Dublin through Heathrow

15 May 2014: Received formal residency/work permission (GNIB card with Stamp 4, one year renewable) for the ROI

Ditto to what Speedwell said. Once your case goes to NVC, the beneficiary can also call on behalf of case status.

I am the petitioner.
