So, this is an argument that gets started on here quite often and it never turns out very well. I'm one of those people who will probably be auto-expedited, and while I'm not really offended or anythi

I saw the same thing as you all - re: case being transferred. Today, in the mail, I got two things. First, a transfer notice saying that my I-130's going from Missouri to Nebraska. Interestingly enough, exactly 9 months (to the day) from them accepting my I-130. I also got a supplemental notification that 'If you do not receive a decision or other notice of action from the service center within 60 days, please call Customer Service.' So, since it's in writing, this means that I get to raise all hell come December 21...right?!

One girl on another forum got three updates as well, first two about transfers to local offices and the third- to Nebraska.

I think it is possible that these "local office" updates are just mistakes on USCIS's part.. As always- we'll need to wait and see.

The new office has jurisdiction over your case and will send you a decision as soon as processing is complete or you will be notified if further information or action is needed.

Post Decision Activity

It seems that USCIS was simply too lazy to update their old message from their old practice of sending files to field offices. You should soon get a message correcting that. Pardon them. Our committee quickly forced them into action, and they simply were not ready. Maybe. tongue.png
