Hi there,

I was supposed to have my fingerprint taken on the 19th of March in Boise the local centre. But I had to reschedue it cuz my husband who is in military is now away for his training and won't be back until the 22nd of March. It will be difficult for me to go to Boise when I cannot drive. I enclosed this explaination matter in a letter and sent it to the local office. But today I've got a letter and they said my case has been transferred to CA. They said in order to speed up processing we gave transferred your case to CA? Speed up processing???? what is that mean??? Is that mean i have to go to CA for my fingerprint and signature? Will they deny my case? OMG I'm sooo panicing now any advice please everyone? thank you ever so much for any helps

You still go to your local service center to get you finger prints taken and photo taken. Many are getting forwarded to California for processing. It currently does not appear to speed up the process for those transfered, but may be speeding it up for those that are given interviews. Do try to get in on or before your interview date. Many of the local service centers will take you in early if you have the appointment letter, if that helps you. The AP and EAD usually follow the bio appointment fairly quickly.

You really should be asking these questions in the "Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from Family Based Visas" forum. The K1 part is complete now if you're in the USA. Updating your timeline will also help people to help you.

mine was transferred to Califonia and my biometrics was still done in Minneapolis where I live so yours will also be done localy so don't worry get hubby to phone the local office up or you could do a walk in like a lot of us do for photo and fingerprinting hope this helps

@Caryh thank you for your help but I haven't got a letter for having my finger print taken yet, can I just walk in with this piece of paper for my finger print? Is it possiblity I could have an interview in CA??

@jlisakay thank you for your info. When you have your finger print taken, do they keep your passport also?

I'm sorry for posted in the wrong furum but how can I move to the AOS forum?

most people who get transfered to CA office usually dont have an interview. and its usually not faster - yes i know the letter says it is but its really not. however you have less stress by not having to go to the interview.

you need the bio letter in order to do your bio appointment. they wont let you do it early without it

the bio appointment is a grand total of 5 mins, its like getting your drivers licence pic done. you get your pic taken and they do your fingerprints just like your POE. same thing you sign a form and then you leave. its nothign speacial.

thank you very much for the very helpful info. So now I only have to wait for the bio letter, after that I can just sit and relax waitin for my green card to be arrived?

Correct. Wait about 30 days and if you dont receive it give uscis a call. they can tell you if its been mailed or not. Sometimes it takes a little longer if your in a busy city. I live in Chicago and i had moved right around when i did my aos..so it took a bit longer as they had to resend me the letter.

Just make sure if you have to call them you get a service ticket number. but for now take it easy breathe and just relax..
