I am worried about one thing is it true people are getting approve or they are just saying so we get frustrated sad.png that why we don't haven't got any notice from service centers.

Some people are getting approvals or RFE's after the transfers. But the percentage we've been seeing is negligible. We're tracking the transfers in the March Filers thread via a spreadsheet if you want to get an idea of what's going on. I don't think there's any use transferring all of our cases if we're just going to continue the same abysmal adjudication rates at a new location. If they don't improve the rate of adjudications, we're just going to wind up with the same exact problem that we've been having.

My husband's father was rushed into hospital last night with a heart attack and is due to have triple bypass surgery on Monday. It's at times like this I really realise just how far away we are, and wish I could be there to support... Sorry for the vent, but need to write it somewhere!

If they don't improve the rate of adjudications, we're just going to wind up with the same exact problem that we've been having.

My thoughts exactly.... its nice to see the transfers but the approvals aren't measuring up. Its the USCIS's way of making it look like they are doing something.... Musical chairs, ring around the rosie, or what ever game you can think of that requires you to go in circles.

A friend of mine at work has a friend at work who married a guy from Spain. She is a late April filer. Today my friend told me she had contacted her congressman who told her she was transferred to a local office. I told my friend the Congressional office is blowing smoke. Its not going to the local office ( Which would be Philly) I gave him the short story of VJ and how everyone is getting 3 notices. He said he would relay the message.

I think the contacts at the congressional offices have a special phone line they call, but that is as far as it goes. I think they just get the same stupid answers we get. And I would even go as far to say that we know more. I do think it depends on the person making the inquiry tho.. If they push hard enough and ask specific questions, they may get better information but for the most part, I think they just provide the case number and accept the response given and just forward to us. Totally useless if you ask me.

You realize how strong you really are when you can't fully comfort someone that you want to because of distance.. The situation is horrible and I'm so sorry.. Try to hang in there and let your spouse know that your there to cheer him up, be a listener, and/or distraction.. Soon all this will be past memories of distance and waiting. Then everyone can focus on making many new wonderful memories in our lives.

My pd is 4/1/2013. My file is tranferred to st louis missouri service center on 11/13/2013. how to find out proccessing time for this center?Is there anyone else here file also transferred to this service center?

So your petition started at NBC "St. Louis, Missouri" and got transferred to "St Louis, Missouri". Your petition went nowhere! Haha.. Tier 1 and Tier 2 representatives are saying that currently they are working on Oct petitions..

Hint: I would read little more closely to your notice or expect it to be a typo. Also you can look at timelines and notice they have been processing petitions from Feb through April regularly... With that spread and statistically speaking your looking at anywhere between TODAY thru 4/5 more months..

Just fyi...NBC is at Lees Summit Missouri, not St. Louis Missouri so it is a valid transfer. Also good news because St. Louis moves fast.

Sorry, but where did this "OTHER" service center in Missouri pop up? I was only aware of the NBC in LS and the OP in Kansas. This is the first time I have ever heard of St. Louis.

There is a field office in St. Louis !! Not a service center.. AS far as I know and read from all the other threads and the USCIS post, They are being transferred to TSC, NSC and CSC. Not field offices.
