Timeline

We filed an I-130 for my wife's son. His NOA1 Notice Date is July 28, 2010. He is 20 and was 16 when we married, so he qualifies for a dependent visa petition. His application went to the California Service Center but was recently transferred to the Texas Service Center. Here is the USCIS message regarding this transfer:

On November 2, 2010, we transferred this case I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN to our TEXAS SERVICE CENTER location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action. Please follow any instructions provided on the notice. We will notify you by mail when a decision is made. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283. During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators.

My question...why the transfer to the TSC? Is this a problem or just routine? Will it delay processing? Any info or thoughts on this matter is appreciated.

My petition was transfered to the National Visa Center in Portsmouth, NH. I'm from Massachusetts. Within a month of receiving that letter. I received a package from the NVC asking me to pay $88.00 and to send the choice of Agent form DS3020. What state are you on?
