Transfers are based on workload at the service centers, not your address -- petitions are going wherever it's least busy. Hopefully you'll have an approval to celebrate in the next couple of weeks!

My case was transferred to Nebraska on November 1st. Last time I got a different notification was on Nov 5th were they supposedly changed my address that I never requested changed. Every time of the day (ABOUT 85467890 times) that I check my case online I cling to the hope that I may see my approval since they're on Central time (I'm on Eastern) and they may still be working on the case . I'm hoping to hear back before they head out to Thanksgiving break!
