I’ve getting a bit concerned about this. My wife had her biometric on 2/15, two weeks later we received a letter stating that our case have been forward to the center in California. That’s what the last of everything. Anybody has any idea why it’s taking this long and if I should contact them? How would I go about contacting them? Thanks!

Mine was transferred as well, for 'faster processing'. Not to worry, it still took 5 months after that to get a result. They will transfer it back to your local office if they want to interview you. In the meantime, really all you can do it wait.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

They are just really slow right now. People who submitted in August/September/October are still waiting.

Nothing you can do to make it quicker. Just sit back and wait for it to happen.

Adjustment of Status, removal of conditions, etc. are all just paperwork processing. Takes time, nothing to stress over. The visa interview was the toughest part.

Just a little update for those who are interested. My wife finally received her card yesterday.

That was fast, we are still waiting for either an interview or green-card. Our case was transferred to CSC on 12/21/2011. Go figure.
