Hey, did anyone see in the CSC --> TSC thread that apparently they're transferring those petitions back? If that's true, we may not be seeing our NOA2s early (but hopefully on time!)

if they are sending them back and process them first we will probably be waiting alot longer..... :crying:

yes...lots of our petitions are going to be sent back. USCIS made a huge error and now they are finally acknowledging it. We will be taking priority over existing petitions because people have waited 6-7 months already (ive waited 7 months and 6 days), but that does not mean that your petitions wont be processed within the 5 months timeline. If I am part of the group to be transferred back, I will be extremely happy....California is my home afterall! Best of luck to all, I am sure you will not have to wait past 5 months like we have had to.

Looking at Igors list and the last 20 or so approvals it seems they're rotating through the October and going back to the transferred pile to get some. In other words working on both ends of the pile at the same time. Appears to be that way to me for the last two weeks anyway. Best of luck to all!!!!!!!

I sincerely hope that once transferred back they will approve all of those cases right away, because anyone who has been made to wait more than 5 months should not have to wait a minute longer. It's so sad that it has taken them this long to realize what a terrible mistake they made, but let's keep our fingers crossed...and maybe soon you all will be able to move on to the next step and put this nightmare behind you.
