Hello VJ friends,

I need urgent advice, I'm starting to stress out (which i know its probably "normal") but any who, i really would appriciate anyones help please!!

I checked the status of my husbands I-130 case this morning and after 7months i finally noticed a change, but i need to know what it means...

On November 15, 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.

1. Is that normal for transfers?

2. Will this dely the prosses even more?

3. Is there something worng?

T.I.A hope someone has gone through this and can help me!

Local office is a office that is close to where you live in your home state somewhere and yes it is quite normal my case was transferred to my local as well as other so don't worry.

This may have been true during your process but it's not longer the case. That email is erroneous. Transfers currently go to the Service Centers in California, Nebraska and Texas.

Well she said it going to her local office so they will process it. If it was going to one of the service center I think they would have said it. Thank you. I don't think its nothing to worry about OP.

Just so you know, the USCIS customer service operators are clueless. They are a call center.

The files are being sent to service centers not local offices. Follow the March or April thread and you will see what is actually happening. There are 3 notices being sent . You have to actually wait for the hard copy in snail mail to find out where your file was sent. There is a glich in the system.

There is a spread sheet on the April thread that you can add your name to. We are keeping track of all the transfers to get an idea of where they are going and the approximate approval time from transfer to NOA2.

Hello AprilMay,

We're in the same boat!

Married to French husband - March 9th 2013

Filed I-130 - May 29th 2013

Reveiced receipt - June 6th 2013

Nothing received until November 25th 2013 : "we transferred this case I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN to another office for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action. Please follow any instructions provided on the notice. We will notify you by mail when a decision is made."

Then on November 26th, 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"

My local office is either Raleigh NC or Charlotte NC, I havent received anything in the mail these messages come from checking my case status online.

I don't think there is anything wrong, at least we're hearing some news! They're probably sending files to other offices to work faster.
