I filed I130 last sept. 28 2013 and got noa1 october 3 2013...

Last november 22,2013 it said it was transferred to local uscis.. And today it says it transferred to uscis... I got hard copy today and it says it was transferred to TEXAs... Gosh! I dont understand all this...

Here's some info on why your case (and mine) might have been transferred to Texas. I received the same notifications. I received an email that stated my case was transferred to a local office, but the hard copy notice said it was transferred to Texas. Hard copy takes precedence.

Does anyone else here think that it is not just the processing time to endure, overcoming personal bias is an issue?

Hello all I married my wife in the Philippines in May I am just now filing the I-130 . Looking for advise before I file. I live near Dallas Does that mean I will automatically go through the Texas processing center? Does not sound good. i talked to a guy last week who filed for a fiancee visa last year and his wife was here in three months. I was born here in the US and I am Us citizen. I hope I won't still be waiting six months from now. Any advise before I file?

You will not automatically go through the Texas Service Center. It is based on case load NOT petitioner location. Everything I see says you should accept waiting for a while. There are some people who get through faster but it is typical to have it take longer and less frustrating to accept that off the bat. Three months is VERY fast.
