June transfers please also remember to add your information to the spreadsheet if you're comfortable with Excel or submit it via this easy form so an admin can add it for you. This is important so that we can keep track of where petitions are being transferred to and how long it's taking each center to process them. Thanks!

Today I received another notice that my case was transferred to my "local" office (Chicago).

The VJ estimator predicts adjudication in February.

The journey is easier when you think you can see your destination. My wife was so happy to hear the news.

We have been apart 7 months now. Probably everyone here knows what that is like.

After you complete your timeline, look near the bottom of the page for "Processing Estimates." VisaJourney predicts when a decision will be made.

good luck!

Your case will not have been transferred to your local office. It was sent to one of the service centers. When you get the hard copy, you will be able to see where it went. If you can't wait, you can call them, ask for a tier 2, and ask them where your case was sent. I hope you got sent to CSC. :)

Thank you BOS_LHR or whoever else added me to the spreadsheet!

Also, I received a third text/second email this morning advising our case was sent to my local USCIS office.

See above response. :)

I was transferred on 18th and my husband who is USC hasn't received any email about transfer yet. Is it normal?

Yes, it's normal. Sometimes their system works, and sometimes it doesn't. If your husband is concerned, tell him to call and speak to a Tier 2 and ask where your file is and what happened to your notice.

I've seen many posts stating that local offices are processing I-130s.

The message from USCIC states that my local office will make the decision.

so I'm not sure I can believe your statement.

Or it continues that no-one, including USCIC, knows the government's real process,

which unfortunately is also a significant possibility.

Maybe it doesn't matter - none of the official processing times for an I-130 anywhere is encouraging.

And Chicago has a reputation for being slow.

USCIS stopped transferring files to local offices in February-ish.

It's the service centers now. Updates say "local office, this office or that office"- but they're all incorrect.. some glitch in their system.

Your file is being transferred to one of the service centers- NSC, CSC or TSC.

USCIS announced this workload shift (NBC-> service centers) on October 21. Google it :)

Good luck!
