AOS question

[Eddyy 5]

Hi guys,

So we sent the AOS package on July 8th and we received an NOA on the 11th of July. Now we are living in Boston, MA and our K-1 visa was processed in VSC. Today me and my fiancee got an email saying that our case has been transferred to the California Service Center. Is this some kind of a mistake? Why is CVS processing our case? Our case starts with the letters MSC.

This is what we got via email:

On July 27, 2011, we transferred this case I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to our CALIFORNIA 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.

Should I be worried?

Thanks a lot

No its not a mistake its for " faster processing " generally people who are transferred do not end up having an interview for the GC. There is still a chance to have the file kicked back and end up with an interview but it does not often happen when you are transferred to CSC.

I was transferred to CSC and so was my friend and we both had no interview and got our GC in the mail.

Hi guys,

Ok so as I wrote earlier we received a email containing the message above.. Today we received an email saying:

"Your Case Status: Initial Review

The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. 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"

I'm just curious to which USCIS office did they transfer our file now? What happens once the file has been forwarded to a Service Center? Is this a good thing or another postponement?

All comments are appreciated...

Cheers,

The USCIS office should be referring to CSC. They are saying that they received the file.
