Initial Review

On October 29, 2013, we transferred your I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN, 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.

During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators.

If you have filed an I-485, I-589, I-751, N-400, I-90, I-821, I-131 or I-765, you can expect to receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints and/or photographs taken. The timing of your appointment is determined by the number of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your application. We will send your appointment notice approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment. It is important that you keep this appointment. If absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling may delay the processing of your application. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to reschedule. Occasionally, you may receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints taken when you have filed a form other than those listed above. In these situations, you may receive your appointment notice more than 30 days after submitting your application or petition.

Our files must be in the same piles of dust at the forgotten corner of the NBC office, since our beneficiaries from the same country and same PD.

I wish I could remain optimistic, but I honestly don't think the transferred cases will be approved any quicker than in the NBC. I mean if they have a backlog they're technically just shipping that backlog to another place where there will be another backlog!

Maybe they're only shipping out half of the "backlog"?

Who knows.

Someone here gets it!

Does anyone here have any reason to think that is not a repeat of the field offices? So what if sixty day passes, and you call customer service? Are they going to help you? Have they ever been useful to us?

Looking at the amount of backlog and the "lightning speed of processing" I wonder if they could clear this backlog even by Summer. I do not feel optimistic anymore.

That's really sad, to be honest. Summer....? Ugh.
