February 2013 filers K1

[cee-gee 20]

With mine, they received my RFE on June 12 and I had a decision on June 20th, others have been similar from between 10 and 20 days from receipt of RFE at CSC to approval. Hopefully if they get your RFE today or tomorrow, you could very possibly have your approval before your fiance returns July 8th.

I hope so, that would be great news to tell him when he gets back! Now it's the waiting game again, although this time it will considerably shorter (which I can't complain about ). Congratulations on the noa2 btw!!!

My fiance received an email this week regarding our status of the I-129F.

From: USCIS <USCIS-CaseStatus@dhs.gov>

Date: Fri, Jun 21, 2013 at 12:16 PM
Subject: Case Status Information for Receipt Number: EAC1390206558
To: FIANCE EMAIL ADDRESS

The last processing action taken on your case


Receipt Number: ####


Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)


Your Case Status: Initial Review


On June 21, 2013, we transferred this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) to another office for processing because they now have jurisdiction over the case. We sent you a notice of this transfer. Please follow any instructions on this notice. 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.


During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators.

If you have filed an I-485, I-589, I-751, N-400, I-90, I-821, I-131 or I-765, you can expect to receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints and/or photographs taken. The timing of your appointment is determined by the number of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your application. We will send your appointment notice approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment. It is important that you keep this appointment. If absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling may delay the processing of your application. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to reschedule. Occasionally, you may receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints taken when you have filed a form other than those listed above. In these situations, you may receive your appointment notice more than 30 days after submitting your application or petition.



If you have questions or concerns about your application or the case status results

listed above, or if you have not received a decision from USCIS within the current

processing time listed*, please contact USCIS Customer Service at (800) 375-5283.


*Current processing times can be found on the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov under Check Processing Times.

Has anyone else received something similar? I am concerned with the wording that "we transferred this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) to another office for processing because they now have jurisdiction over the case" that it has gone back into the pipelines elsewhere and we potentially have to wait all over again :/

Yes, this has happened to quite a few people. This is actually the second time in a month this has happened. In May VSC transferred a lot of cases from December/January to the Texas Service Center. It took about 3 weeks then they began processing their cases. Then about a week ago, a lot of people from February got their cases transferred as well. Most seem to believe they went to Texas as well. My guess is that once they complete the first batch, they should go directly into the next batch. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

There are multiple threads in the Service Centers forum discussing both transfers here:

Thank you on the congrats. It is a relief once you get the RFE and find out what it is and send it back. Once they receive it, the anxiety level of waiting will sky rocket, but the wait will be so much shorter. Best of luck

I don't know if this data is of any use at this point, but here goes for whatever it's worth.

I went backward and forward 200 cases from mine. We are Vermont, by the way; not transferred. I found 23 I-129Fs, including mine. Of the 23, 12 have been "touched." Of the 12 "touched," 6 have received approvals all within June, 5 received RFEs.

Of the 23 total cases, 48% have been approved so far, all within the past 15 days.

How do you get this kind of information? I keep putting in the receipt number on the uscis.gov front page and keep getting the same information I got when it was initially filed. Where do you find notifications that the file has been "touched"?

I only get the 4 options on my page that says; Acceptance, Initial Review, Decision, and Post Decision Activity.

It's been on Initial Review since the beginning on february.

A touch is whenever your status changes in any way shape or form. The information talked about in the post above yours is from other cases. you can input other case numbers around your own to see if they have any recent updates.

[Ighaepero 2]

Thank you, David. (Or are you Kelly? Confused about that.) I'm so relieved. Now, if the cases around me and my own case are any indication, it seems the people who have not been transferred from Vermont will, indeed, be processed faster. Everyone take heart.
