Congrats to those who got approved, it makes me hopeful! good.gif

I called today and after an hour wait (of course), I got a lady who was more than hurrying me off the phone.

Anyway, she said that cases are transferred to local offices and sometimes just for one small thing and then transferred back (although mine is still in the NYC office since Nov 28th). She also said don't worry about not being able to track it online, and if you want, you can email the webmaster at uscis.webmaster@dhs.gov for assistance, to include your receipt number. She then quickly said thank you for calling and CLICK.... hung up. Sigh. mad.gif

Everyone who's been approved, how many days did your case get transferred to your local office before you got notice of approval? I am just trying to be hopeful... it's been 3 weeks already... blush.gif

The DCF petitions are treated very differently. From all indications those of us residing in non-DCF countries are remaining at NBC to be processed.

It feels terrible. maybe it has to do with the local USCIS where your case was sent to?

have you tried calling USCIS recently and speaking with and ISO?

I did not even knw our case was sent to a local office(NYC) until i called on 12/11 and was informed it was sent 11/27 and on 12/13 our case was "touched" then approved yesterday.

I am not the USC so I can't call them. My wife called them a couple weeks ago and they said it was transferred to a local field office.

Our case was last touched 10/10/2012

Our I-129f (K-3) online status has shown up online with the "your Alien Registration Number was changed" message, dated two days before the I-130. I'm not sure how to interpret this.

The little details:

  • ~15 October: Posted I-130 from Switzerland to Chicago Lockbox
  • 29 October: I-130 NOA1 with MSC receipt number
  • early November Posted I-129f from Switzerland to Texas Lockbox
  • 15 November I-129f NOA1 with MSC receipt number
  • 23 November I-130 "your Alien Registration Number was changed"
  • 15 December I-130 MSC# finally online, in "Initial Review"
  • 27 December I-130 NOA2
