Just checked my status for my petition for QueenOfBlades and it now says this same thing. With no date on it. So now it's 3 different wordings updated 3 times in less than a week.

Where is it beino sent too ... The Service center tells me my local office in Hartford my congressman says its still on route from he vsc and will be in Texas ... How can you be sure it isn't going local

I would trust info from your congressional contacts. You might ask them if they can find out how many cases have been transferred. One poster commented about 3250 were transferred but that seems low?. In our case in 2010/2011, once USCIS got to processing files, they were able to do so at the rate of about 1000 per day. Unfortunately in our case, the files at TSC sat there for 3 months before they really started working on them. Make a request through your congressional contacts that this doesn't happen to you all!!

Also we were given fast track status through the NVC once we got approved.

Below is a cut and paste message from USCIS concerning the situation we went through.

"November 2010, USCIS transferred approximately 36,000 Immediate Relative petitions from our California Service Center to our Texas Service Center. We anticipated that this redistribution of work would result in more timely adjudication of these petitions. Due to a number of unforeseen circumstances at our Texas Service Center, many of these cases have not been processed and are beyond our estimated processing times. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this may have caused you and we are making every effort to remedy this situation as soon as possible.

On Feb. 7, 2011, we implemented a rapid response plan to expedite the adjudication of these petitions. We have transferred a large number of these Immediate Relative petitions back to our California Service Center to take advantage of resources currently available to immediately process these cases. Petitioners will see an action such as an approval, denial or a Request for Evidence (RFE) on their case from our California or Texas Service Centers by the end of February. Additionally, we have briefed the Department of State’s National Visa Center about these cases.

We encourage you to monitor the progress of your case by accessing My Case Status online. If you do not see any action on your case, such as an approval, denial or an RFE, by March 1, 2011 you may contact USCIS at: I-130Inquiries.Tsc@dhs.gov

We remain committed to the prompt resolution of all pending cases and will provide updates on our progress in the coming weeks."

Please allow me to clarify where the 3250 number came from. On VJ it appears the only I-129F petitioners that are receiving these transfer message have a NOA1 date of December or January. And not all from those months have received the messages.

Based on the USCIS dashboard, Vermont received approximately 3250 I-129F petitions for those 2 months.

We really have no idea how many cases were transferred or if other case types are also being transferred.

Everyone here is focused on VSC however, CSC has transfered K1 cases as well, mine included from September. My notice and so do the ones i have montiored from CSC say the same as yours from VSC. So the transfer is not limited to VSC. I would say it is all service centers. In addition, my congressman told me my case had been transfered to VSC on May 14th. Perhaps all cases are being joined and transfered together to a single office.

But as previously stated by Jenafid, not all cases are being transfered. The question is, what is the commonality of the cases that have been transfered.

fox13, I think everyone is talking about VSC because so many people from there are receiving these messages. As far as I know, you are the only one that has mentioned on VJ being transferred from CSC.

Whatever the service centers are trying to do, it sounds like they're doing a fine job of screwing things up.

We also got this third notice, 24th, 29th, 30th... This is crazy. I keep getting so excited that I am getting approved!

Interesting to hear that this has happened to people before... hope there's no more delays. I swear, if the people left in VSC start getting approved, and we are left behind in the dust, I will be so mad.

I don't think you need to worry about that. VSC is barely moving.

So is there a difference between the different dates? (24,29,30,undated?)

[zooropa 30]

It's been a week come tomorrow that we have had the files take a trip to TSC, or where ever. We have had to endure a weeks delay. Let's hope that we see some approvals tomorrow.
