May 2013 I-130 Filers

[jsumner86 403]

We have a may 16th priority date for our i130, still heard nothing. I don't know how well the MSC numbers reflect the order applications were received in, but I tried entering the MSC numbers of those those to either side of me into the USCIS case status checker (i.e. if my number is MSC1234567, I looked at MSC1234568, MSC1234569 etc.), and all were transferred within the last 5 or 6 days - I checked about 20 on both sides of myself.

I'm assuming this is because our application was filed from abroad, so it remains at the national benefits center rather than getting transferred to a service center. I honestly don't know whether this is a good or bad thing in terms of time remaining, but congrats to everyone so far!

Do we typically get 3 notifications? I only got 1 so far and mine was transferred yesterday

We've not gotten transferred either and filed from abroad as well. Beginning to get anxious now...I've tried to stay calm but it's getting tedious now. Hopefully you will hear something soon. You are quite a bit earlier than I am so maybe soon for you!

We finally got the transfer notice in the mail. It says our file has been transferred from NBC to Texas Service Center. Not sure if its good news or bad news .. I thought it would transfer to our local office in SF?

maybe u don't need a transfer to get approved. I read few threads where file wasn't transferred but still got approved.

Did you request an expedite at all? I'm just curious. Congrats.

Well that is just hunky dory...tried to change my address online with USCIS and got this message:

• You must select the Form Number associated to your Receipt Number. The Form Number you selected does not match our records for that Receipt Number.

I tried several times and still getting the same message so I guess I will have to call them. Maybe this is a reason I haven't seen a transfer yet?

Hey I wanted to ask something. When I read the documents required by nvc I read that the beneficiary sends the original birth certificate and original marriage certificate in their packet. But the problem is when my husband left I gave him all the original documents cuz I thought he might need them for paperwork. So can't he include the original stuff In his packet? Is it necessary that I send it in my packet? I mean in the end it's going to NVC right?
