Just having a random thought.

Due to the backlog of cases at TSC, some applications are being transferred to CSC. Does anybody have an idea what transfer criteria’s are? I've read elsewhere it can be due to location of the applicant. My fiancé (Petitioner) lives in Tucson, AZ, between the two, what's the likelihood of the application being transferred?

If anybody has a Scooby doo, they can let me know. If not, then it's all good. This isn't the most important part of the process, just hope we get approved.

Thanks

When one Service Center gets too loaded, they transfer. Transfer mean nothing in the process and shouldn't be thought about.

It means something when one Sevice Center is taking two - 3 months for a packet to get processed and another is taking 9! having to wait 9 months before your application even gets looked at is kinda irritating.

Actually it means nothing. I can remember when CSC was faster the VSC but then Vermont became faster than California and then when Texas came into being and was faster, then slower.

Historically speaking, it means nothing except one is busier than another. It WILL change.

Yes, historically speaking. I'm only going by the current processing times. I highly doubt it will change within the next day or two. However it could, but just for now I'm going by the running trends, which I'm sure you can see TSC is in a mess.

My fiance and I downloaded the data from the USCIS website and compiled it then compared it with the transfers that were posted on VJ. The transfers are all over the place. Not to mention you can't account for the folks who have not entered the correct service center or still have the lockbox listed as their service centers. There was no pattern that we could find. We tried to go by state, then by population, then by country.. not one pattern. Sorry :( We were hopeful for one

? I was thinking about doing that myself, I'm glad somebody else has done it though. That's a shame! I was really hoping that there would be some kind of clear criteria/pattern to the transfers.

Never mind.

Thank you very much.
