Form I-130, Immigrant Petition

[Fouad Joubi 0]

Hello everyone,

I just checked my online status for I-130 and I was shocked when I saw this:

"On August 25, 2016, we transferred your Form I-130, Immigrant Petition for Relative, Fiance(E), or Orphan to another USCIS office. That office now has jurisdiction over your case. We sent you a notice that explains why we moved your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your notice by September 24, 2016, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go towww.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address."

Please I need to know if this is normal and how long time does the process take? Should I wait for another 4 months?

I checked mine.... We have the same.... On August 26, 2016, we transferred your Form I-130, Immigrant Petition for Relative, Fiance(E), or Orphan, Receipt Number XXXXXXXx, to another USCIS office. That office now has jurisdiction over your case. We sent you a notice that explains why we moved your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your notice by September 25, 2016, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go towww.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

We got our NOA April 25th.. Our case was in Nebraska Service Center. Now they transferred it. Hopefully we will hear something soon....

That's what I found on the USCIS website: Your original receipt number will not change and this will not delay your case’s processing except for the additional time needed to transfer the file to the new location.
