That's normal and its not a transfer. From lockbox they forward it to the service center.

You weren't transferred, your case was forwarded to CSC. Because of the backlog, USCIS decided to randomly forward new cases that would have been worked at TSC to CSC. You are really, really, really, really, really fortunate.

Hi, your case was not transferred. It was simply routed to the proper servicing center, which is the correct procedure.

EVERYONE sends their K-1 petition to a lockbox in Texas. This is not the same as the Texas Service Center. Once it's been received (accepted and routed) as yours has, it is assigned to the proper servicing center based on petitioner's state of residency. Your petition was routed to the California Service Center. You would have received a specific update and letter stating 'transferred' if it was transferred from it's original servicing center.

This is part of the normal process. The email confirmation (letter will come in the mail shortly) is called your NOA1 - Notice of Approval #1. This means USCIS accepted your petition and assigned it to a service center. Now you wait for an actual petition approval (NOA2). For California it typically takes less than 90 days. For Texas it's 8-9 months.
