I think this is unrelated to IMBRA, and is being done in belief it will be faster to process. I hope you all get approved soon.

From what I have read about the reorganization of the service centers, this was planned and is not related to IMBRA (also known as STINKY).

I got my notice today also. I hope they will actually start processing some petitions now. It looks like things have been stalled for several weeks at NSC.

I just joined the CSC club too.

[Canuck Carrie 1]

Wow. Give even more work to an over-burdened Service Center.

I hope this means good news for all of you and that you all hear something soon! (Trying to find the positive)

Yes, add me to the "Transfer club" .

I wonder if there is anyone that hasn't been sent to CSC yet, and is still in NSC? Ah well, good luck to everyone in this process.

[gtigiant 0]

Yep, me too. I hope this means something good not 6 months of delay.

I just recieved the same above email 3 times from NSC, I live in Colorado. Does anyone have any idea how long we have to wait now for the processing?? Do we all have to wait essentially 4 months now??

[Nessa 23]

We were transfered too.

Someone previously posted a letter they recieved from their congressman about nebraska. I will cut and paste it here:

"Here is the response that I received from my congressman, today:

"Thank you for sharing with me your thoughts regarding immigration issues.

The legislation to which you referred, the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act of 2005, was not considered in the House of Representatives as a stand-alone bill. Instead, it was included in a much larger bill, the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005, which was approved by the House by a vote of 415-4 on September 28, 2005, and was signed into law on January 5, 2006.

Per your request, I contacted officials at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) service center in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Nebraska service center accepts and processes the applications and petitions from people residing in Minnesota, as well as Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

According to USCIS officials, there has been a slow down in operations at the Nebraska regional service center because of an ongoing reorganization of USCIS field offices. Currently, the USCIS four regional service centers, as the name suggests, process visas and petitions filed in the states within each of the centers’ assigned region. USCIS is restructuring its regional service centers so that each center specializes in certain types of visas and petitions. For example, the Nebraska center processes petitions for alien workers filed across the nation, rather than just in its own service region.

Unfortunately, while USCIS continues its restructuring efforts, we can expect to see more delays. USCIS officials are hopeful that once the reorganization is completed, the service centers will be able to process visas and petitions more quickly and efficiently.

Rest assured that I will continue to monitor the situation."

Perhaps this has come to pass. You will notice there are cases before March 6 that have been tranasferred (though not mine oddly) so that rules this out as an 'IMBRA thang'.

If this is the case, California should not slow down because some of its workload (non-immigrant visas?) has moved to Nebraska.
