U know what? I check the other application number and it says that on March 5th my case was sent to the local office. I wonder what does that mean

In my opinion could be:

 

1.- Massives Interviews for the people who receive that notice.

 

2.- Transferred because they are sharing the workload. But no rush.

 

3.- They realized the long waiting time and they are trying to make it faster.

The 'case transferred to your local office' merely means that the service Vermont and California service centers have sent notification to the local offices so that they can set up times for your bio.

 

Sure, I know that for most of us our bios were done long ago.  But the computer system was just in late February programmed to send these notices, so it just zapped out the complete list that was in the system, including all who had already done bios.

 

So now the system is in place, so new filers will be getting those 'case transferred to local office' on a regular basis.

 

And yes I know that a few have had their 10 year green cards approved after they got the 'case transferred' notice . . . but those people would have been approved anyway at that same time, even if the computer system had not been set up to send the notices.

 

All the speculation here reminds me of conspiracy theories.  :-)

 

For 99% of us . . . nothing has changed

Hello Fellows,

 

Pretty soon, I think the most of the July 2017 fillers should have the chance to early apply for Citizenship in July this year. (3 years married) 

 

Do we need to have the fiscal 10 years card first? Can we apply with the 3-month advance USCIS allows in the situation we are? 

 

Best.

Your answer sounds like you work with computers, could be a 0 or 1 then 1.- Massively mistaken messages without cause or effect due to a program routine or 2.- They are trying to speed up this for a reason. Illuminati conspiracy confirmed!

Guys,

 

You can sign up for informed mail delivery from USPS https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action instead of waiting for the mail and checking, USPS images what is coming in the mail to you. Saves a lot of time and waiting. At least we know what mail piece is coming, specially since this case transferred thing from USCIS.

I have done this as well.  Several times however I have received an email with images of brochures or whatnot that should be delivered and guess what, I don't receive it. As it is not important, I am not worried enough to complain to the USPS.

I sign on with Informed delivery and I receive an email from USPS every day around 7 am with pics oh the letters that I gonna receive the same day never a date in the future. I think this does not make much difference in comparison with the regular service but I think is good to be sure that you are receiving all the mails and nothing is missing. When some companies eg Ebay send you a package and they pay for the service, Informed delivery go in advance with updates telling you where your package is and when you are gonna get it/them within 3 day aprox.

Just got in from my Infopass and the immigration officer was very nice. NYC FIELD OFFICE

 

She explained to me that at the internal level the "local office" that the case has been received at is actually Vermont in my case and California service centre for others being that its for form Removal of Conditions.

 

She explained that the files have been in storage for a whole year but until the immigration officer needs the files they will request it Or a bulk and when a worker sends it to them it will come up as Received by Local office so its no longer in a vault but actually in the office to be processed. When they start to work on it that update might come again and do remember they are in bulks so updates might not show up same time.

 

 

Thanks much to nywestq for posting this in another thread.

 

It should put to rest all the wild speculation here about a mass transfer of files to some location near our homes.

 

All the posts we have seen on USCIS website about transferred to local office mean nothing other than our files have been moved from one room to another room within  the large buildings housing Vermont and California centers.

edross,

 

you do not need the fiscal 10 year GC to apply.  Yes, application window for the N-400 opens 3 months prior to the expiry of your original GC date, which should have been the year 2015.

Thanks for the information, but what happens if they take more time with ROC, eg Interview, more delay...

For some reason I have been looking and following June filers. (Wishful thinking I guess.) The wait continues.

Yes, many people have filed for N-400 while waiting.  From what I understand is the N-400 is adjudicated at your local field office (that is at a small local office such as in my case Reno and not at CSC).  In your case that would be San Diego or a field office close to you.  Once there, it's married with your I-751 (CSC or VSC transfers your app to them) and both are adjudicated together or within a week. There are threads about this and one of the discussions can be found here.

Hello, thanks for the information, I could see the N-400 thread and looks like USCIS is a complete chaos, Too many people disoriented asking for help and support, I really hope they improve we need that!. 

 

Best.
