Today I received an email notice that our I-130 (NOA1 7-7-2010) was being transferred from CSC to The Texas service center. I wonder how many others got the same type notice?

I hope this doesn't start the clock over!

I realize that others have waited far longer than us for their NOA2. Still the waiting is painful.

Life is short. I wish to get on with it.

Good luck everyone!! :)

Rickey.

Visited Yanzi in Shenzhen in June 2009, and visited Yanzi again in October 2009.

Married Yanzi in Shenzhen on 06-01-2010.

I visited with her and her family for 2 weeks on this trip.

I-130 Sent: 06-28-2010

NOA1 Received: 07-07-2010

Visited Yanzi in Hong Kong on Sept. 26 through Oct 3 2010.

Case "touched" on 08-27-2010 !!

Case "touched" again on 09-27-2010 !!

Case transferred from CSC to TSC on 11-01-2010.

Case touched on 11-03-2010, I assume this is TSC receiving it.

Case touched on 11-30-2010. Case "is now being processed at a USCIS office"

Case touched on 12-01-2010.

Case touched on 12-02-2010.

Case touched on 12-03-2010.

Case touched on 12-06-2010.

12-29-2010-I Filed a Service Request with USCIS Today. Last week I asked a Senator and my Congressman's office to file an inquiry on my behalf.

1-14-2011 NOA2.

This was not reflected on their website until 1-19. i received email and text on 19Th also.

April/May? Seriously, what the hell do you know? You sound like a complete a@@hole for posting here. With all due respect, I'm tired of people who got their NOA2 in 86 days but did not file until 2

If my sister was working at DHS, I wouldn't wait 6-months then send an email to somebody at USCIS in DC. That's just me though. I'm not buying any of this tomfoolery.

If it follows the pattern of when VSC transferred a bunch of applications to texas, then it is very good news. Quite a few people received their NOA2 in a matter of weeks rather than months.

I'm wondering if anyone got the notice I did. My petition was transfered to Islamabad, Pakistan. I think this is good new, praise the lord.

How on earth is this possible :unsure: your consulate is Moscow, Russia. If it needs to go somewhere other than US is Russia and not Pakistan i am confused :bonk:

If it follows the pattern of when VSC transferred a bunch of applications to texas, then it is very good news. Quite a few people received their NOA2 in a matter of weeks rather than months.

Thank God!!! finally some word of relief :star: . Hope you are correct. :thumbs:

Hi everyone. I also received an email notification today stating that my I-130 app had been transferred from the CSC to the TSC. My NOA 1 date is July 1, 2010 and my priority date is June 28, 2010.

I checked the volume statistics on the USCIS site and it seems to indicate that California is overwhelmed while Texas has processing capacity. But I do not completely trust the accuracy of the stats especially since at this time they only provide stats through Aug 2010.

I hope the person on this thread who said historically the transfer has resulted in speedy NOA 2 delivery is correct. Based on the Visa Journey stats, I was really expecting our NOA 2 this week. Thus, the email today was disappointing. Our goal was to be together in time for our one year anniversary (4/30/11) so let's hope it happens. Good luck to everyone.

I hear you....our goal was to have it all done by our one year anniversary (march 30th) but that definitely is not going to happen lol. Oh well! I sure hope that we get accepted soon though, that would be great. Why were you expecting NOA2 this week? It has been 5+ months at CSC up until recently.

It should cause everything to speed up. If you look at the trends at the CSC, they received quite a few petitions in March and April which would explain why it seemed to take forever to get through these. May things started trending down and June/July were down quite a bit. Based on this alone, the process should start picking up again for the June/July/August filers. Adding the TSC manpower in to the mix will speed it up even more. I know our petition was "projected" for the third week of November, but we got a touch on 10/27 and then another on 11/2 with an RFE notice (I expected the RFE so I was ecstatic to receive the notice so soon).

Hang in there
