Is there a rule for case transfers vis-a-vis choice of service centers

[aditya3245 113]

All,

I am one of those May-September filers who were sent into that black hole called Lee's Summit.

Now that we have tapered down expectations because of the NOT faster processing that is going on (or rather NO processing whatsoever) at this office, and that CIS has already established that we are being directed from NBC to either TSC, CSC and NSC based on some weird random algorithm that Janet Napolitano and her gang of socialist bureaucrats put together, does anybody know which petitions are going where ?

Spouse is located in Illinois.

Based on your experiences and I am assuming only those with prior approvals can address this, does the i-130 adjudication of cases from Illinois and Iowa happen at Nebraska (NSC)?

Or is it Cali (CSC) ?

I have to research this topic to the best of my ability with no useful conclusions.

The VJ timeline predictions doesnt (and I suppose can't) tell you where it is supposed to go either.

No one can answer that because transfers just started in September and they were cases that been sitting at NBC since April and forward. Not all cases at NBC get forwarded.

USCIS says they are transfering on a caseload bases. So if Nebraska is freed up they get some and on and on. Has nothing to do with region you live in.

I have three friends Ohio and New York that were at Lee Summit they were transferred to CSC. Another from Florida went to Texas.

There were 535,000 stand alone I-130 backlogged they are getting through them fast as they can. I know 5 people who filed October through December last year and have heard nothing not even a transfer because they are at their local office stuck in hell.

Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Process & Procedures to USCIS Service Centers forum; topic is about service center operations with respect to transferring of petitions.

I'm from NJ (april file) and my file went to CSC. I don't think its based on state though, as I know a March NJ filer got sent to NSC.

Waves! That's me!

Yeah, it seems like it's random.

Not as such, and alas, you've no choice in the matter.

What does 'get done', back at the lockbox, is the load-balancing notice. A clerk will read that, then ship the casefile off to the Service Center indicated in the load-balancing notice.

It's an internal document, we never see them, and they are issued sporadically and sometimes often.
