Hey everyone.

This is my first post to the forum. I am also a May filer.

I was just wondering how many May petitions have been approved so far. I just got an email saying "On December 13, 2013, we transferred your I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN, to your local USCIS Office for further processing. The new office has jurisdiction over your case and will send you a decision as soon as processing is complete or you will be notified if further information or action is needed."

I was wondering if anyone has any advice as to how quickly this might mean it will be approved.

Yes, this seems like the smart thing to do. I emailed AILA about a month and a half ago when many of us were growing wise about NBC-Overland Park. I thought what I wrote explained the evidentiary ba

The purpose of a real timeline is to build up statistics data for more accurate approval estimates. So it would really help other members if more people filled theirs in.

I just read this article about a Korean guy who is a professional video game player. It said he got an athlete visa from our government to come here and play.

This guy can get a visa to play video games in our country, but it takes forever to get a visa for our families? This is utter bullshit! Am I right?

I just got my 3rd email saying this:

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. 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 1-800-375-5283.

My heart drops every time I see the letters USCIS in an email lol.ClockWatch2.gif

I got my 3rd email/text-msg today, as well.

The reason hard-copy of transfer [to NSC] showed up before the 3rd email/text-msg is because I am local to Lee's Summitt, MO.
