I got my second email/text message this morning. First one said was transferred to another office second message said transferred to your local USCIS field office. So can you tell me which offices they are transferring these things to? And is one office faster than another?

I also got the same text today morning. I think we should get one more text. They are transferring to either Texas, Nebraska or California service center. It's hard to tell which one is faster than other.

I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.

Anyone can edit or comment on this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Anpi244OAt_IdGJxVU9tVVpXRkVZVlVMcjVwMGowOUE&usp=sharing

If you need to edit, just change the information. The totals will be updated, except for NOA2, which is broken.

NOTE: Feel free to fix NOA2 totals! Graphs are not set up yet. Feel free to set them up as well. You can also add different kinds of analysis. This is a team effort!

I entered the "NOA2 by transfer" formulas. Thanks for your hard work!

Does anyone know if anyone is tracking whether petitioner is USC or PR and if they're filing/living in USA or abroad when they file? Many of the early transfers that got approved were USC living abroad...

Dec 21, 2013 - Submitted DS-261 online
Dec 25, 2013 - Paid AOS fee online (Merry Christmas!!!)

Jan 27, 2014 - Called NVC and was told that our case is complete and that we're just waiting for an interview appointment date.
Jan 29, 2014- Called NVC and was told that our interview was scheduled for March 10, 2014. Also registered for St Luke medical exam online.
Jan 30, 2014 - Received P4 letter in email.

Feb 12, 2014 - Called US Embassy in Manila and interview rescheduled for Feb 25th.
Feb 25, 2014 - "Approved," but we have to submit CENOMAR then wait for visa after it's processed, so I guess technically it's in Administrative Processing (AP).
Mar 17, 2014 - CEAC website, visa status changed to "Issued." Now we wait for pickup/delivery.

Why, though? Today and yesterday only 4 people got approved, 2 Feb, 1 Mar, 1 Apr.

I'm the beneficiary.

....................................................................................................................................................................

Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Filing for a USC spouse visa (IR-1/CR-1) and not sure what comes next? Check out the VJ IR-1/CR-1 guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.
