I-751 January 2017 Filers

I have an update about my own "local office" transfer. I scheduled an INFOPASS appt because my extension expires in 3 weeks. The agent said that the 'transfer to local office' notices are very likely an error happening to many cases. (He called it the result of "someone's fat fingers," I kid you not.) He told me the files don't get transferred to local offices unless an interview or further information is/are required, but the notice for either of those requirements would come first, and would come in the mail. Anyway, he said my file wasn't at that office, despite the info on my "My Cases" page, but he also couldn't tell me if it was still at CSC or not. He stamped my passport with another year-long extension right away.

 

Long story short, it appears to confirm that the move to my "Local Office" is an error. He did tell me that there are huge backlogs and delays, especially for ROC petitions, usually 18-24 months. He recommended I go ahead and apply for citizenship because it's faster, and he's already seen a few successful applicants granted citizenship while awaiting ROC approval.

 

Guess it's on the next step before I've completed this one!

 

Good luck, all.

 

 

I-751s might be very low priority in uscis

They are. Everyone's already been inspected and processed, so they're focusing their resources elsewhere.

So you already sent them new material? I think they don't respond after RFEs unless they are still missing something. No news is good news!

 

Out of curiosity, what did they ask for?

They asked for 3 years worth of bank statements and just more evidence in general.

This is very hard to understand, how come so many of us from CSC got transfer to local office update.

Initial thoughts, were either more evidence would be requested or an interview was required.

Frustrating.....

Hi Steve,

 

Crazy, how many days between the time you got

1. your case has been transferred to

2. interview will be scheduled

?

Also, what app on your phone are you using to track your application?

I downloaded 'Case Tracker' app.

 

regards

Steve

I hope so, too! We haven't filed for N400 and don't plan to... we're not sure if we're staying in the USA, so we aren't in any hurry for it.

I don't know if you have been following this thread, but there is far more information here:

The latest news is that this notice just means that they physically moved our files out of storage, and are beginning to process them. That's why we are getting "case received" again - the files have moved from one room to another; the local office is actually CSC or VSC.

 

There is no transfer to another office unless they explicitly write the word "transfer"... for example: "transferred to new office and that office has jurisdiction for your case".

Sorry I didn't notice this at first, but you filed at VSC, right? So you can probably do a case inquiry already since they are officially processing February filers...

I think I read someone (in another thread) got this message just before approval! Hope that's the case for you! Please keep us updated when you get the notice.
