My wife filed I130 for her brother in February 2013 and his case was issued to California Service Center. Not sure why, but anyway...

As everybody probably knows, the California has the longest processing times of all. Currently they are processing F4s from April 2011 while in the Texas they are processing July 2014.

We have been starting to think if it would be possible to request his case to be moved to Texas. Even if he would be put at the back of the line, it would still save about 3-4 years of initial processing time, I guess. Is this something one can do and USCIS can/will approve if you request it or would it be just wasting time and breath?

Are there anybody in here who have successfully done it? If so, what was the process? Were you able to keep your priority date or do you have to go to the back of the line?

Thanks already in advance for any help and ideas. :thumbs:
