Post August 15 Transfers

[TexasMojo66 3]

Anyone have any thoughts on the topic of how the K-1 service centers might/will be affected once they get passed the August 15 filing date of when they started transferring a lot of non-K1 visa apps out to other centers? Of course, I'm hopeful that things will speed up for us but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Its hard to say. I called the CSC on Thursday and was told that I can expect to wait another 3-4 months before hearing anything regarding the status of my case. Looks like we received our first NOA1s right around the same time. So, im right along side you, hoping things will speed up here within the next few weeks! Good luck to you!

What are you referring to about transferring non K1 petitions to other centers? Where did you read about this or heard this rumor and why August 15 filing date?

I have noticed that VSC is still processing K1s very consistently where CSC has practically come to a stop on them. Also, quite a few are August filed petitions too.

Apparently, as of August 15, 2012 I-130 filers for IR-1/CR-1 visas were being transferred by the NBC to local processing centers instead of to Cali or Vermont to ease the workload. You can go to the advanced search (top right of page) type in 'transfer local centers' and there are various threads. We're hoping that once CSC and VSC get done processing these visa types that are already there they can devote more time to plowing through their substantial backlog of K-1s (fingers crossed).

Good luck!!!

Looking at the volume and trends, they didn't stop totally transfering from CSC & VSC until sometime in September. http://dashboard.uscis.gov/index.cfm?formtype=4&office=2&charttype=1 So, maybe once CSC gets through all of those it will turn it's attention to I-129F's for a change.

Thanks for the link. I see what you mean. It looks like you guys should be coming up on your NOA2 soon. Good luck!!
