I got my 3rd notice today that my file is being processed at a uscis office. I read on here that that means my file actually is physically at the office on someone's desk with a pile of other ones. Anyone else get the email? I know me and my fiance were excited over this.

I haven't received any emails, but after visiting the forums, I've been checking our status online. I just checked again and it's the third notice now.

I know we should have nothing to worry about, but now I'm starting to get nervous. Lol. Everything seems to be falling into place for us, I'm just hoping that doesn't mean a monkey wrench is going to get thrown our way anytime soon.

Thanks

Is there anyone who didn't get their file transferred from the VSC? Kinda getting the feeling that my fiancee and I are the only ones who were left out from the transfer. =(

Lanu, are you able to check your status online? If not, I would definitely call and attempt to speak to a tier 2.

Today at 7:45 est time I received another update in my email. Editing it but it says The last processing action taken on your case. ETC ETC The I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office. 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 edit #


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.

When I checked my Status on USCIS it said: The I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office. 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 Edit. # ETC ETC

I also received a text message... it basically says my case has been updated.

I hope hope HOPE this is good news. goofy.gif I have been searching the posts made but didnt see about a third email with a text. Unless I overlooked it. Has anyone else received these messages in this order?? Wonder what is next!!!!

2005-2006 Met in an online game.

2008 - Engaged
June 2009 - Got my Engagement Ring and put it on.
March 16, 2010 - Visit for the 1st time... for 6 weeks.
When he came here for the first time to meet in person he placed the ring on my finger himself.
April 17, 2012 - Visit for the 2nd time... for almost 3 1/2 weeks.
April 1, 2013 - Mailed I-129F to Dallas, TX
April 3, 2013 - USPS Receipt/Delivered I-129F
April 9, 2013 - Bank shows check cashed today.
April 9, 2013 Received a Text and Email Message that Petition is being sent to Vermont for Processing and will get hard copy within 7 to 10 days.

April - I have to look up the date to update this.

July 10, 2013 - Received 2 emails that our file was transferred. On July 10, 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. ***Waiting to hear more!**** Then a few days later I received another email and a text and a few days after that I got a hard copy. I will edit the dates tomorrow.

Edit: I have to update the timeline when I get a chance.

Waiting...for NOA2.. We received the NOA2. I need to update everything from this to the interview date!!
Will be getting another visit August - September 2013.
He visited. He had his medical, etc.

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.

This 3rd notice means that your file is now at the office and on someone's desk along with a pile of others. It's great news. I believe for those of us that got transferred that we will have an approval or RFE in about 3 weeks (fingers crossed). (just estimating that length based on the June 21 filers that got transferred). For those that weren't transferred, I have a feeling your file is on someone's desk right now otherwise it would have been with our batch. Keep those hopes up, mine are!

Read that thread (and the posts on it). It should help explain a few things. smile.png

The text message is just another notification option you get when signing up for notifications. You'll sometimes get them when your case is updated. It's not terribly reliable, but it's standard.

I think the reason transfers got 3 separate status updates is something along these lines:

Update 1 - electronic file sent

Update 2 - physical file scanned to be sent from Vermont

Update 3 - physical file scanned once received at Texas

This is just me guesstimating based on how the company I work for transfers files. I could be completely off base.

I know the feeling! I'm getting all the documents I have to mail to him together (Birth & Divorce Certs, documents with original signatures, etc) and sending them out with a care package and a note.

It helps me feel a little less useless and impatient when I have something to do to possibly speed along the process. :c
