I would be interested in how you found out too. Did you receive a notice that it was being forwarded to your local office?

[chris and laura 7]

Wait a week or so and your case status will say that you have been transferred. Then a few days after that, my case said that it had been received and is now being processed. At least that's what happened with my case. I filed in Chicago, was transferred to CSC, then transferred to NBC, the transferred to USCIS with jurisdiction over my case and it is now says it is being processed from there. So, the link about the I-130 stand alone case transfers has been completely true in my case. If you read the USCIS notice you will see that it says you will not be notified in the mail of transfer to the.local field office and its location but it is the office with jurisdiction over your state. I filed fron Alabama so my field office is Atlanta, Georgia. i am just happy that my case is done being transferred and now says that it is being processed. If you haven't read the USCIS alert about I-130 transfers yet, check the link which was posted earlier in this thread. Best wishes to all. Just wish I knew how long of a wait to expect with the local field offices. Anyone have any idea?

We are in the same boat - i am curious to see how long this will take as no one seems to know the expectations like the other service centers.

What nazet has posted and some others is making me ask this next question - could it be that sometimes people get a notice that it was accepted, but it does not include in the same notice that it was transferred?

For instance, this is the email I got:

Your case has been accepted and routed to the USCIS National Benefits Center for processing. Within 7-10 days by standard mail you will receive your official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) with your Receipt Number XXXXXXXXXXXXX. With the official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) you may visit www.uscis.gov where you can check the status of your case using My Case Status. We suggest you wait until you have received your Form I-797 before checking My Case Status.

Ok so there it says in the same sentence "accepted and routed"...whereas for others it seems to go in many different ways. Anyone have enough experience with this? Who got the same message I did? Also, I've read that some of you have said that the My Case Status doesn't work for you, and some have said that it doesn't always work for everyone. Well, I guess I'm one of the unlucky ones cause it doesn't seem to work for me.

We've got the same as you, except it was filed in the USA.. we don't live overseas.

We also got an MSC number and can't check it's status online also means waiting longer for our expedite request to go through due to hubby's military orders. I'm not sure if our expedite request sent with our I-130 is what has made it be sent to NBC directly.

Just got NOA1 by mail a couple days ago (living abroad so it takes a while to arrive) and now just trying to figure out how I know where the case is. Does the fact that the number begins with WAC mean anything? If I'm abroad, how do I know which office has jurisdiction over the case?
