Still accepting at TSC?

[simonschus 58]

I’ve been feeling horrid looking at the processing times for everything of the !-129F.

We’ll be filing the forms with a New Hampshire address on them, and intend to submit on 30th November or the 1st December. Am I right in assuming that I-129F form will be dealt with by the Texas Service Centre given the New Hampshire address?

If so, does that mean it is going to be forever (circa 7 months) for us to get from submission to NOA2? Are the I-129F forms from the East Coast ever forwarded to another service centre (VSC? CSC?) given the backlog?

It is unclear with conflicting information on the fora so I thought I’d ask now just so I can set my own expectations. Obviously, I know that anything said here is not an official response but more friendly advice.

We were sent to Texas service center and the Long wait was about 6,5 months. They did a transfer with some cases to the CSC office.. (We were not part of that) so yes, it is possible you might be lucky but don't hope too much for it...

The Vermont center does not accept I129f anymore.

I would set y mind up for an approval in about 6/7 months. Terrible I know

It's my understanding they are no longer sending petitions to TSC, all are going to CSC.

I was one of the unfortunate ones that was stuck at TSC for 7 months earlier this year.

All petitions are still being routed to the CSC. Here is the Nov. 2015 filing thread > http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/573239-november-2015-l-i-29f-filers/

Your address does not have any effect on where your application will end up.

Good news is that I-129f forms are now being sent to the California Service Center as there has been a back up in Texas it seems.

Most people sent to CSC are getting approved in around a month. Some a bit less, some more.

Ours wait from NOA-1 to NOA-2 was 26 days.

Petitions are still being routed to CSC. My NOA2 came after about 5 weeks. Some on this forum have been lucky enough to receive theirs in as little as two weeks! I would expect about a 4-5 month wait in total (from sending in your I-129F to interview).
