AOS file already at local office

[JoJoJoJo 170]

Today T2 officer told me that my case is with my local office already. Is this really reliable? (I am a 2017 October filer (my local office is processing 2017 Jan filers according to T2 officer).) I am about to move and fear that I miss my interview notice (I will still be with the same local office)

 

For those who had interview notice already, was the letter from NBC or your local office?

 

If my file is really with my local office, does this mean NBC is happy with my response to their RFIE? (I am really worried about that)

It is somewhat reliable... In my AOS forums it happened a few times that the Tier 2 said that it was transferred to the local office and then it turned it that this wasn't the case. You can call again and ask another tier 2. If that officer gives the same answer chances are pretty good that it actually is at your local office.

 

I think my interview letter came from the service center and not my local field office...not sure though

oh and I forgot to say, yes, safe to say that they are happy with your RFIE if it was transferred to your local office. You can still get another RFE if the local office thinks that there is something else missing though.

Also, just realized that the interview letter must come from the local office. If you have documents missing they sometimes just write that in the interview letter to bring instead of giving you an RFE...

Thank you very much @Californiansunset! This is really valuable information!
