Just when you think everything is going better because of the case transfers it seems to get worse. We're all screwed.

You are all correct....if you're tracking, the rec'd date is the date your petition is entered in the system. The location where it was sent to is on the bottom left of the I-797c (aka NOA1) you receive back from the NBC. Typical turn around time from NOA1 to NOA2 is a long wait, appears to be btwn 4-6 mths. I-130 processing for CR1's has sky rocketed to up to 11-12mths barring no RFE's for missing documents. Majority of I-130's being processed now appear to be Jan/Feb petitions. The volumes have been so high they are just starting to transfer backlogs out to the other processing centers but havent yet started to see posts on transfer notices coming out yet. I-130s do not get transferred out of the NBC's to "local offices". There are thousands and thousands of us out here from literally every part of the world waiting thru the process. Certainly not meaning to be a bummer here, just wanting to share what I know is happening. Hang in there everyone...there have been folks out there who have gotten all the way through the first long process and then give up because they dont want to wait anymore......don't give up!! Stay plugged in to VJ .... we're all each other's companions in the line. Good to keep posting updates to your timelines, helps keep everyone happy to know when things move along. For you new filers, send everything (copied) with your petition (bc's, etc) so they don't hold your app to wait for you to send that in. Less is not more in this process. Good luck to everyone.......DON'T GIVE UP!!

We have seen quite a few transfers here at VJ. I think the count is up to 12, and they're all February filers. What we do not know is how long their petitions will sit waiting in their new location. I hope it is not like the treatment of our petitions at the field offices!

As for volumes being high, if you are speaking of I-130s, I strongly disagree. If you check on USCIS national processing volumes and trends, there has been little change in the volume of I-130s over the past year, not different from anything they have experienced before.

In other words, we didn't get a fair shake. We were the sacrificial lambs.

curren status is this: (please add or correct me if i am wrong)

** FEB filers are being transferred to Local offices or other benefits centers

** MARCH filers

A) those who are DCF or Expedites are being currently approved

B) fate of rest still UNKNOWN, whether they will be transferred to LOCAL field offices or other benefits centre????

** APRIL filers - still in limbo whether they will be transferred to LOCAL field offices or other benefits centre is not known????

It seems that Feb filers are being routed to one of three service centers, though the messages that they are receiving from USCIS state otherwise. This appears to be a glitch or just rehashing the old message for local field offices and sending it out. The fate of every other filer thereafter is completely unknown. As such, we must keep up the pressure! Join us in the thread linked in my signature!
