I have a more general question: How does one actually know that the case has been transferred to the service center? Does one get an email, a letter, or is this information available online? (I know, its probably a trivial question, but much of this business is still a bit of a mystery to me.)

Thanks.

If you have setup your account on the USCIS website to notify you via email when your case gets updated, you will get an email when your case gets transferred. You will get a notice in the mail regardless, though. But, the email is obviously much quicker. I got an email notice of transfer to VSC on the 10th, but still have not gotten it via snail mail.

All of those who have similar timelines has been added my friends list!

Hi friends -

I am not very familiar with the process once NOA2 (approval notice) for I-129F is sent. What needs to be done by petitioner? What needs to be done by the beneficiary?

I heard of a I-129F flowchart but cannot locate it. Can someone either explain or sent me a link to this flowchart?
