I will be optimistic about this. I hope it goes to California because they are working on March and April as we speak. But my question is how long does it take for the next center to receive the files?

seems like a couple weeks then another week or so befor e they start working them.

Phew....

My fiance received the same letter last night-- I thought we'd accidentally sent it to the wrong location or something. Glad to hear they're taking steps to help speed the process up!

I just called to check where they have transferred my case and it was actually to Vermont! I am so excited right now! dancin5hr.gif So when you call in the automated service tells exactly where the transfer has been to.

That is a notification that the service center your file was it (which appears to be Vermont for these transfers) is behind schedule, so they're transferring your case (and many others) to a different service center for prompt processing to avoid getting further backlogged.

This is a good thing, from what I've been reading typically you'll hear back with an RFE or NoA2 within 4-6 weeks of your transfer. You'll get an electronic notification in about a week that the Service Center your case was transferred to has received your case and is currently processing your petition. Once someone has touched your file (after the whole initial transfer mumbo jumbo) you should have a decision or RFE within a week or two.

I would expect to at least see your file touched within a month of the new Service center getting your file. :)

Make sure you talk to a Tier 2 immigration officer, the customer service reps that you initially talk to can't see anything more than what you can when you look up your case status online. They will be absolutely no help to you whatsoever and often give you incorrect information.

Thank you! I will try to speak to a representative, because I was also a Vermont service center originally, but for some reason in my e-mail it sais this "On July 10, 2013, we transferred your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E), 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. If you move, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address."

Now... when I call the automated service says that my case have been transferred to vermont. dry.png

I just received this today.... I was at the Vermont Center..

Your Case Status: Initial Review

On July 10, 2013, we transferred your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E), 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.

Ok, but where...and what does this mean? Anyone

I just got in contact with a representative and she told me that the case was originally at the Vermont Service center and that at the en of the hard copy should say where it has been tranferred to, which she said would be Newark given that it is the local office of New Jersey, where I live.

Now that makes a lot more sense to me. I also asked her since we filed in April 5th how long would they take to finish the process and she said "about two more months". I know this is not too accurate though...

Local offices do not process I-129F petitions. You will most likely be transferred to the Texas Service Center (TSC) (as the previous Vermont Service Center (VSC) filers who were transferred) or to the California Service Center (CSC).

Once you call them and get on the phone with a customer service rep you need to ask to speak with a "Tier 2 Immigration Officer". The customer service reps don't know what is going on and won't be able to tell you anything. A tier 2 IO has access to your case and can look up what is going on.

You should get a hard copy letter within 7 days telling you where you got the transfer. I got my "hard copies" 2 days after I got electronic notification. I haven't gotten the hard copy for my transfer yet.
