You know, the reason coolguy thinks this is probably b/c most people haven't changed their service center in their timeline. The way a lot of us check what's going on with our service center is by che

I just got approved so far for the NOA1, which just means they received the I-130 application and everything was there. The actual approval is the NOA2, which I haven't gotten yet :( I sent it in on August 18th and it was accepted (that everything was there) on August 22nd, now Iv'e been waiting 7 months and a week and counting. :bonk: I did sent in an e-request after 6 months though and they said they will notify me of a decision by April 26th at the latest! So we will see!

Do you know if your case was transfer to Local office?

They just told me it was transferred to the National Benefit Center. When I go online it just says:

Initial Review

The I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN 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.

:/ So I'm not sure why it's taking so long. Many people filed after me and have gotten accepted. I think I am just very unlucky! :wacko:

They do not always tell truth. You need to call USCIS, talk to Tier2 officer and ask specific questions regarding transfer. Based on above notice which says "USCIS office", I suspect that it is at Local field office. You should call couple of times and talk to Tier2 to get best answer. First time when I called they told me my file is still at NBC but after a week I called again and found out that it was transferred in JAN to local field office.

This is the number I have been calling-8003755283. I speak to one of the representatives here. I don't know how else to contact them. They don't give any information. What is the Tier2 officer? I just say, "I want to speak to Tier2 officer?"

Congratulations :dance: Our case is also at the NYC local office. We filed on Sep 14, but they told my husband at the infopass appointment that they had received it on Feb 26 and that it would take 6-8 months from that date. I still refuse to believe that though! Do you know when your case got to the local office?

Sorry, didn't see you already answered that question. So it does give me some hope, it was "only" four months from the date they received it, not 6-8...

I hope you are next from NYC filers... I am also waiting from Newark office... For Newark - NJ, I see trend of 4 months from actual transfer. I also notice that people are getting RFE from Local offices before they issue approval. not sure if that apply to everyone but seen couple.
