Hello All,

We've got our NOA1 on September 25 (4 months). Is it worth trying to transfer our case from Texas to California SC?

Could it help to speed up the process?

Can we actually do it? What do we need to do in order to make it happen?

Thank you!

Hello

From what I understand you can not have the case transferred. Those the get transferred are the luck ones, . They have their own criteria for what gets transferred when and we have nothing to say about it. Wish there was a way for those that are waiting to affect the case but from what I have seen there is no way.

Keep a stiff upper lip and do what you can to pass the time. Please take the time to fill out your timeline it helps those trying to assist you by letting them see where you are in the process.

Unfortunately this is not something you can request.

Some people can put in expedite requests but you have to have an extremely good reason and from my understanding these are rarely approved. This wouldn't change your service centre though, it would just speed things up. However, as I said, very hard to provide a good enough reason.

Sorry we cannot offer more positive news and good luck with the rest of your visa journey!

Well, it is same sex relationship and my fiancee lives in a very antigay society. What's making waiting even more painful and long knowing that she's being harassed and discriminated every day.

Does someone know if writing to congressman may have an effect? Any thoughts on our issue?

I'm not sure if your representatives can really do much about your fiancées situation, but in my opinion, it never hurts to try. I wouldn't imagine that would qualify as a valid reason for expedite, per uscis's very strict standards, but if you haven't, maybe do some research on expedites? I think your fiancee would have to be in serious danger for her life or one of you had very serious medical issues. Don't quote me on that.

I wish you the best. I can't imagine what that situation is like for both of you. Makes me sad thinking about it and I don't know either of you!

It looks like TSC did pretty good this week with approvals so hopefully that continues and you get yours sooner rather than later.

If you go to the immigration timelines page then click on Igor's list it shows everyone who reported approvals. Make sure to change it to TSC right away. Don't spend time looking at CSC bc you might get angry.

So I was looking at that for this past week and also reading the July TSC thread in the k-1 progress forum. The monthly TSC threads are a great way to find people who can relate to our wait times and stay on top of what's going on with approvals and things like that.

It used to help, but no longer. I spoke with the Chief of Staff for my congressman last week and he admitted as much to me. They have no influence over USCIS anymore.

Waiting is painful for all of us. It's the great equalizer. It doesn't matter if you're gay, pregnant, dealing with the expense of maintaining two homes, etc. USCIS doesn't care. The ignore us all equally.
