Were you transferred to California?

[sweetswinks 400]

I have seen many VJ'ers try to help everyone getting this issue sorted out but a lot of people are still entering their info as a transfer which is really messing up the timelines here.

I'd like to help everyone with this as much as I can

I wrote this in a thread just earlier that will hopefully clear this up and maybe we could explain it to others to fix the problem because VJ'ers who are being processed at TSC are not getting the correct data because of this and that's very frustrating!

"If your NOA1 comes in saying your petition has been forwarded to California, please make sure your timeline and filing location say California, as this is NOT a transfer!"

If a petition was transferred it would look like this:

1. You sent your petition to Texas locked box/sorting facility (ALL petitions are sent here first and this is not the same as the Texas Service Center)

2. You receive your NOA1 that would say your petition has been accepted (YAY!) and is now being processed at Texas Service Center/TSC (Alien registration number would start with SRC) - NOT A TRANSFER (YET!)

3. So now your petition has been accepted and you have gotten your NOA1 (Great!) If you were getting transferred you would now have receive a secondary notice (AFTER NOA1) that would say your petition has now been transferred to California Service Center. - THIS is a transfer!

Thank you

I wish the mods or the admins could lock this into the k1 forum main page Thanks for the explanation!
