Hi everyone. I have great news to report. My I-130 was approved!!!!!! All praises to God.

Everything happened within the las week. Last wed, January 29th I received notice that the case was sent to California service center. It actually said it was a local office but when I got the letter in the mail, it said california. at 410 pm yesterday, I received text that case was updated. I went to USCIS website and it was a message that alien registration number had changed. I didnt know what this meant. I looked on visa journey and it said that it meant somebody was looking at the case. it was on someones desk finally. this morning, I got up and I saw they had sent another text at 1045 pm. I checked USCIS website and it said I-130 had been approved.

so it does look like california service center is faster!!!!! that is what i read. so things are finally moving. now i just need to find out what to do next. need to start look at national visa center threads.

Did you receive the hard copy of the transfer notice on the 29th? When was the transfer initiated by the NBC?

Congrats to you and good luck at NVC! Hope the CSC is in the near future for all us Aug filers.

No I got the text about the transfer last wednesday. I only check my mail once a week on Saturday so im not sure when it was mailed out. but on saturday i received the notice and found out it was california. I guess the transfer was initiated by NBC---- I was not aware that anyone else could initiate transfer. good luck to you. and i hope california for everyone

Wow!

You are correct, NBC does all the transfers. I just wanted to figure out if the 29th was when you got the initial text/email or the hard-copy. Thanks.

Did you to have to ask for the tier-2 support? I called and the guy told me it was transferred to my local office -- lol (he obviously didn't get the memo). The wait for tier-2 was long... so will be eagerly waiting for the mailman over the next few days :-)

CSC abruptly stopped working. Look at the timelines. It's all TSC and NSC trickling in approvals.

OMG.

So I checked both status confirmation numbers for 129f and 130, and they both were transferred to a local office. So does it mean they will kill my 129f and will move me to the IC path?

question, what is the priority date... is it the date on the top left of the NOA1? or is it the date which pops up saying USCIS mailed you a notification on August 12, 2013 indicating.... blah blah... ? those dates are not the same. i am now getting confused...

also NBC will be open folks!!!!! here is to hoping we get transferred today! :)

I have a August 15th date and waiting patiently to hear some news on an I-130 (spouse). I just spoke with USCIS regarding a change of address. While I had them on the phone I asked about processing timelines and she indicated they are currently working through the March submissions of this type and it could be as much as 5 months before I could see a decision. Just curious if this jives with what others are hearing? It's currently sitting at MSC

Did you guys notice that for those that transferred on 2/3, that we didn't get the second and the third emails like everybody does

I just got one email - maybe because missouri was closed yesterday ?
