Transfer of I-130

[Laura_and_IanM 0]

Hiya folks! As I posted the other day, I received an email stating that my case was transferred to Californian from Vermont. Fair enough. That was on the 18th. How long does it take them to transfer because I have been touched everday since the 18th. Does that mean that they already have it in California you think?? I hadn't been touched at all before the 18th other than to say that they received our petition. And that was back in June I believe...stating that they received it in May. Hmmmm...is this a good thing??? Can't help but get my hopes up..

Question: Where do you see the "touched" on the USCIS webiste?

I registered, but all I see is that the petition was received on July 13, 2006 at the top of the page when I click on Case Status Search.

This is what I get... I just want to make sure I'm on the right site :

Application Type: I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

Current Status:

Your I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN was received on July 13, 2006. We will mail you a decision as soon as processing is complete. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done. Follow the the link below for current processing dates.

I wondered the same thing until someone was kind enough to tell me that when your case has been touched, the date will change on the "date of last update". Do you know where I am talking about? It won't say that it has been touched...the date will change, hence your case has been "touched".

Good luck with your journey

Background: Sent my I-130 in on 6/30/2006 to Nebraska (since I live in Ohio). Noticed that Nebraska processing times do not include I-130's. Asked what's the deal on VJ. VJ'ers said that I-130's, that would have been processed in Nebraska, are now being transferred to California.

I sent my I-130 USPS Overnight Mail, which was signed for on 7/3/2006 in Nebraska.

2 Questions:

1. Other than my cancelled check, which has yet to be cashed, is there any other way (besides NOA1) I can know that my I-130 is INDEED at least "in" California?

2. If I-130's are being transferred to California for "efficiency", does that imply and/or does anyone have any knowledge of CSC shipping some OTHER forms to be processed to ANOTHER service center, so that CSC can more "efficiently" focus on whatever forms they are now receiving from other service centers?

Thanks in advance...

Hiya...until your check is cashed and or you get the NOA1, there isn't a way to find out where your application is at this time due to the fact you don't have a receipt number and it hasen't been I believe 30 days. If I am wrong on this, I am sure someone will come along and correct me. I know that when I first posted mine, I was a bit frantic but eventually received the NOA1. Good luck with your journey and I hope you hear something soon.

I sent my I-130 to NSC on June 16, regular mail, from Ohio. I received NOA1 July 17 from CSC. It was received at NSC on June 19. I also became very concerned that since I did not send priority mail or did not ask for delivery confirmation that it was lost somewhere. My pastor came to visit on July 13 and he offered a prayer that night asking God to assist with our processing, which just so happened to be the day the NOA1 was sent out. So, keep praying, it works.
