My file hasn't been touched and I haven't received any notifications, but when I do a search for my receipt number in the database it says, "The I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office," while before it only said they'd received it, so I think it's good news. Maybe it means it's one of the ones that's been sent back to CSC.

My cases say the same. It's had the same message appearing since November. Like many are finding out, lack of status updates don't necessarily mean that a case is stalled... there may be all kinds of good stuff happening in the background! Kind of a guessing game at time unfortunately.

Well, my process was a little different since I did electronic processing and online forms. But back in August (before EP and online forms were an option) when I was first getting everything prepared, I used the following guides: http://www.visajourn..._live_in_the_US and http://www.visajourn...p/EZGuideSpouse and http://www.visajourn...he_NVC_ShortCut.

Grats on the case number! Updated the spreadsheet, thanks for informing me. :)

The average days to getting a case number has dropped to 26 days now. And I'm sure a bunch of case numbers will be assigned this week, dropping the average even more.
