Share your experience with Info pass, timeline and anything which can help to get more detail about how local offices are processing I130 cases.

My case has been transferred to Newark, NJ from NBC(PD - 11/30/2012) and have not been notified(online status does not say anything about transfer). I recently went with info pass and found out that my case was transferred on Jan 9 but the processing for JAN yet to start. Newark is still working on Nov and Dec cases.

It is very hard not knowing how long it will take and how they are processing these cases. Certainly local offices does not have staff to clear thousands of pending cases and looks like we have a long way to go.

Please share if your case has been transfer to your local field office.

Almost everyone who is not currently residing outside the USA with their spouse has been transferred. You would not have been notified of this transfer, it was rare to do so and most people find out about transfers either by calling the USCIS or because they received an RFE or NOID or NOIR.

there are monthly I-130 filing threads where this info is posted.

Have you seen them? start with August 2012, come forward to March 2013 - most folk have posted about their experiences (already) with being transferred.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Nov 13 2012 - NOA1 Email MSC#, so NBC

No NOA1 paper received

Dec 10 2012 - Spoke to ISO, foreign addresses are iffy and our case is still at NBC and hasn't been transferred to a field office, put in an address change online for the petitioner as requested

Dec 15 2012 - Received 2 copies of paper confirmation of petitioner's address change to American address that was done on Dec 10

Dec 17 2012 - Touch

Jan 17 2013 - Contacted Senator, filed an medical expedite request with USCIS via email

Jan 22 2013 Response back from Senator - problem is that USCIS messed up our addresses and listed us both as being in America

Jan 23 2013 Fixed beneficiary's address back to Denmark with ISO phone call, but not petitioner's Filed another expedite on phone with ISO, case is still at NBC

Jan 23 2013 Sent letter to NBC formally requesting that they change both the petitioner and beneficiary's address back to Denmark and assign the Embassy as Stockholm

Jan 23 2013 Transferred to Hartford Field Office

Jan 25 2013 Email stating 30 days for processing expedite request, no decision yet and no one has looked at it

Jan 30 2013 ISO a week more to process expedite says case definitely not at a field office

Jan 30 2013 Hartford actually receives I-130 from NBC

Jan 30 2013 Touch according to later ISO

Jan 31 2013 Second Congressional inquiry

Feb 5 2013 Response from Senator - they haven't changed beneficiary's address and case sent to Hartford, she is contacting Hartford

Feb 5 2013 Call to ISO - says the priority date on the expedite is Feb 7, she is adding more notes for Hartford to look at it and emphasis that I am not in the country and to try and expedite more so, put in an immediate address change for beneficiary

Feb 6 2013 Mail long expedite request with evidence to Hartford, also request change back of Beneficiary and Petitioner's address to Denmark, additionally request assignment of embassy to Stockholm

Feb 12 2013 Email from Senator - supervisor in Hartford is looking into our case

Feb 14 2013 Sent email to USCIS Headquarters Office of Service Center Operations

Feb 14 2013 Hartford receives expedite evidence and letter

Feb 14 2013 Letter sent from NBC detailing that Hartford has jurisdiction

Feb 15 2013 Hartford sent a letter stating USCIS doesn’t have jurisdiction

Feb 15 2013 ISO said that expedite request is on officer's desk with a deadline of today

Feb 15 2013 Hartford sent my unapproved I-130 to Copenhagen (or so an ISO says)

Feb 19 2013 ISO call found out about where Hartford sent case and filed service request to have it adjudicated and sent to NVC

Feb 20 2013 Contacted Representative, sent email and fax to Ombudsman, email to Senator, email to Scopsscata (again), email to IV unit at Stockholm - returned with we don't touch unapproved I-130s
