I had sent our I-130 Petition to the proper Chicago Lockbox address for the Vermont Service Center since I live in New York State. The NOA-1 was approved on 02-26-09 and I received the NOA-1 hard copy in the mail on 03-02-09. I just went to the USCIS website and noticed that it was sent to the California Service Center for processing. Should I be concerned about this and should I receive any notice from the CIS that it was routed to the CSC rather than the VSC? I have heard that recently, the CSC seems to have a better processing time for I-130's so I'm pleased about this news, but I'm still a bit puzzled about the reason why it was sent there. Could it be a mistake on the USCIS website? Has this happened to anyone else recently?

Load balancing, this is why the I-130 is sent to Chicago, they will then send to the center that is not as badly over loaded.

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

I think its something to do with spreading the workload between the service centers. Mine was transfered to California and it was approved two weeks later. I have a feeling its a good thing.

(Please note we have taken our time and we could have gone faster with the NVC)

I have 2 petitions running at the same time, I have not posted 2 sets of dates because they have been processed either together or a few days of each other.

I mailed my I-130 on February 19th and my Noa1 was generated on February 22nd. Mine should have gone through Vermont as well but was sent directly to California instead. From what I am reading, I hope this is good news!!

it looks like if you sent out application around feb 20, it's going to CSC. they received mine feb 23, and it went to CSC.

Nope, just sent it Monday March 2nd!!! Have to pray for CSC and wait and see what NOA1 says. Good luck and wishing you a fast approval.

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.
