We got the same thing in July about our petition. Our petition was initially sent to Vermont but they were so backed up they couldn't handle everything so a lot of petitions were transferred to other offices. Ours was sent to Texas. Because we didn't know where it was sent at that time, we gave it a few days and then I called the UCSIS customer service number and spoke with a tier 2 officer. He was able to tell me where our petition was and gave an approximate processing time frame. It was only a few short weeks after the transfer that we had our approval smile.png Hope this helps and best of luck! biggrin.png

This happened to me as well. Sent to the National Benefits Center in MO in Jan of 2013. Sent to Tampa Local office in late February. However, you were fortunate I never received a notification. It wasn't until late March that I called the USCIS number and someone finally told me who had my case file. It sat in Tampa from late Feb til my approval the first week of June 2013. I recorded this on my signature block for others to see a detailed process.

Good luck!

OP, have you applied for a K-3? You talk about the I-129F; the visa type under your name in the left sidebar says IR-1/CR-1; and you have no timeline to clarify the matter. I'm moving this thread back to K-3 Case Progress pending your reply. Thanks!

Don't forget your profile

Most of the time the I-129F goes to the I-130 location so it's interesting that it was sent to Texas. Keep everyone updated!
