So my husband has been told by our attorney's assistant that our petition have been transferred to Kansas. My husband is from florida. I wonder if this is something bad or whatnot because from what I know is from NBC, it should be forwarded to the local service center where the petitioner resides. The attorney's assistant said this might be a good thing as it can speed up our approval if the service center where we were transferred isn't a busy place but I also wonder if this isn't a regularity to our petition that might slow things down and then later they might say our petition was "accidentally" transferred..any of you experience this same thing? We're late May 2013 filers I-130

I would not believe anything I didn't hear myself these days

some congressional inquiries were responded to with a statement that the files never get transferred to local offices and I have seen some attorney's comments that are the same

with all the transfers and such, I would sit back and wait, maybe check your casefile on the uscis site once a week in case any rfe's pop up

Your attorney may be right. I talked to a tier 2 last week who told me the NBC recently opened another office in Overland Park, Kansas to assist with the workload from their office in Lee's Summit, Missouri. Petitions were originally sent to Lee's Summit and I would think a good thing will come out of your case being transferred to their Kansas office. Note that both offices are still NBC.

I was told by the tier 2 rep that our case was transferred to the Kansas City office as well suposedly to speed up the process. But at other times, they didn't know where the case was sent to, So i don't know how much to actually believe. Just thought to let you know as to what happened to my case.
