@GoodbyeGirl  Wow. you just opened a big can of worms for me.. thank you so much for mentioning this.

The receipt number I got on my NOA actually says my case has been transfered to my local office (Woohooo!!).

3 months ago I was told this receipt number was useless and given a new receipt number (which was supposed to be on my Biometrics apt. notice)

So I completely stopped using the old recepit number. Anyway. I guess i am on the same page as you guys now :D

Super exciting that these cases are being moved.

Thank you again for mentioning the old receipt number @GoodbyeGirl true legend.

Glad you are smiling @jadeswanson :) I'm not really sure what these case transfers mean. I really hope it's a good thing but I'd like to see something official from USCIS about it while we wait to see case approval improvement times.  In the meantime, I'm happy to see something happening, even if it just turns out to be activity rather than actual movement. 

 

A tier 2 told me today that cases are moved to local offices when they are being prepped for interview. So I am really hoping this doesn't mean that all I-751s are required to sit interviews from here on out. I don't mind an interview, but as I didn't have one for the 2-year green card, I was hoping to be approved without one.

Definitely seems like we all are being transferred to local offices, I’m glad it seems to be moving now... let’s hope it doesn’t take them another 3 - 4 months for biometrics appointment.

I think its a good thing.

 

From what i've noticed is that the people who go through an interview process get their cases to a decision before those who don't go through an interview. Considering they get approved on the day of the interview. (i could be wrong with this but this is just what i believe i have found).

 

I am hoping for an interview so we can get this over and done with sooner but with my luck... will be in this for the long haul.

If the transfers are in fact happening, I reckon we should get word from USCIS at some point. Until then, I'm tamping my excitement. It does seem odd that USCIS would shift such a large number of ROC cases in such quick order and the updates magically appear. It'd look more realistic if something like this was done in batches. 

 

I wonder if there's a way to contact a local Field Office (not USCIS reps) and verify if they were in fact getting the i751 workload.

@WeGuyGal I wish I knew how! The only way I'm aware of is to make an infopass apt. I'm not sure if my local office accept walk-ins. There's no email or chat, or social media to talk to them. When I called their number, all I got was a recorded announcement saying the office was open that day. And it was a Sunday. ^_^

This message is also now showing for my October 2017 filed I-751 - which should indeed be on its way to the local office for adjudication with my N-400.

However, I certainly didn't get this message when my original I-751 (may 2015) WAS transferred to a local office for an interview.

 

 

Still haven't seen anything that points to this being anything other than a glitch at this point.

As excited I was this morning, I think this looks more and more like a glitch.  I hope I am wrong though! 

 

But it is possible USCIS finally decided to do something about the significant wait times for i751s, esp CSC, if this indeed turns out to be true.

i got same . my case now in office Tampa . only today i got new message about my case. i used number from first letter and now i can track my case . 1000 people got same . i dont know what heppening but i hope will be everything good)))))

Being that we originally couldn’t look up the first NOA case number, only the second biometrics one... but now we can look up both...  TBH, I feel like maybe they just added the functionality to the case status website to see the case transfer status now.  

 

As many have mentioned originally getting errors with checking case status on the first NOA case number... the IT side of me thinks that just added this function which triggered a large batch of data exported and/or notifications dispatched through the status website, hence why people can do lookups and see case history now.

The odd thing I see is if it was a large batch data export, aka a glitch, shouldn't it have affected all case numbers at the same time?

 

I started reading about the handful of transfer messages in these forums through the weekend into Monday. I checked my case status online Monday, I got the error as before. But it changed to the transfer message when I checked again Tuesday morning.

Yeah, that’s a good point.  Unless it just took a while for all the data to be available given then sheer number of cases being processed hence the backlog.  

 

I’m sure were all anxiously awaiting something to happen.  Interested in hearing if any official info is substantiated from all this case transfer chatter.

Many folks are seeing Case Was Received At My Local Office in their online status because they have transferred the case to the nearest office to make a decision. From here you may or may not need an interview. Also sometimes they transfer cases between each service centers to balance the workload. You can track those here - https://www.uscis.gov/workload-transfers

Hi! We can find out about approval timing based on approvals from past years/months...look at approved cases and see difference in time between interview and approval and we can guesstimate...
