[Em&Sid 8]

Now we join the club of transferred folks! Got the e-mail around 7:30 CST tonight. Now we wait to see where we end up. Off to add our info to the google doc!

Good luck, all!

Initial Review

The I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN 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.

Does ''is now being processed at a USCIS office'' simply mean that it's arrived, or that it's been assigned to someone?

[STACEY&MISHO 103]

Ok, here is my timeline;

15th April 13 Application received at Phoenix Lockbox

17th April 13 NOA1 issued (form I-797c) assigned to National Benefits Centre, Missouri (MSC). Letter included case nos for I-130 and I-129f

7th May13 Alien Reg no. changed on I-130

14th Nov 13 Transferred to another office (E-mail)

15th Nov 13 Transferred to local office (E-mail)

19th Nov 13 Transferred to a USCIS office for processing (E-mail)

19th Nov 13 Received hard copy of e-mail sent on 19th - including statement that case is being processed at Nebraska

26th Nov 13 Alien reg no changed on I-129f

Can anyone shed any light on why the alien no on the I-129f has been changed? (We submitted I-130 and I-129f simultaneously)

Your timeline is almost identical to mine. Right down to the A# being changed on the129f on Tues Nov. 26th. And I'm in Nebraska too! Let's keep our fingers crossed. Keep me posted and good luck.

Sadly, I think it just means it has arrived. But at least it moved. Its better than we had for the last 8 months, which was a whole lot of nothing! I'm really trying to stay optimistic here! Seeing these approvals every day is helping.

Oh that's fine it's a miracle my file didn't get lost on the way there! I'm simply grateful for that!

i got an email saying

"Your Case Status: Initial Review"

The I130..was transferred and is now being proce4ssed at a USCIS office. Your will be notified by mail when a decision made, or if the office needs something from you".

This must mean they have started my review. I was originally at the NBC, then recently transferrred to Cali.

it just means its now being processed at another office. They don't send out notices when they pick up each file to process. You could be approved tomorrow or in 2 months. The actual transfer could take 2 weeks depending on the batches they load on the truck and how often they ship them.

You will most likely receive a third update like the "December 2nd" one but without any date stated, that is within the next few days. I think that you will also receive a hard copy stating that you will get a respond within 60 days.

Good Luck

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. The hard copy is the important notice and as long as you have that, you should be fine.

[zamsha 10]

I got three text msgs and emails, but I got one hard copy by mail it says its been transfer to Nebraska Service Center plus if I don't hear anything from them in 60 days I should call them. uff!!! atleast my file hasn't got lost. guys hope we have a gift for chrismas for approval.

[katieflossom 54]

We finally got our hard copy yesterday (as well as our third text and email), and we have gone to CSC.
