If i'm in your shoes, I would welcome the interview right now!  Its a lot better than being in the dark and playing the waiting game.  At least you know what is coming with an interview and just resolve any issue that may pop up.

 

Question is WHEN that possible interview happen if local offices receives hundreds cases which they don't usually process in amounts like this at the top of already existing backlog at all major cities and being a least priority. Plus you can't track nothing once it's there. Don't get the logic behind exitement about that so called transfer whatsoever.

So I called USCIS today just because I was curious to see what they would say. I only spoke to a Tier 1 officer. 

 

I specifically asked the guy "So I've heard that this is some sort of glitch, is that true or is this a legitimate update?" and he said that this is not a glitch

 

I also asked, "so have you been receiving lots of calls about this type of update?" and he said Yes, and again assured me that it was not a glitch, and that

I would most likely be scheduled for an interview or that they transferred it to look at it closer and get the card produced.

 

He sounded confident, but who knows if this is really the truth. I know other people have called and gotten different information..

There's only 3 possible outcomes out of this:

 

1. The transfer really happened, and the cases are processed quicker, with the usual number of interviews (low).

2. The transfer really happened, but now every case is required to be interviewed, which is impossible given the amount of cases can be processed locally, and we keep waiting forever for our RoC.

3. This is all a glitch, and nothing really happened and we keep waiting forever as we are now.

So I called back again right away, just to see if another Tier 1 officer would say the same thing. But the 2nd office I spoke too did not sound like she knew what she was talking about at all, and when I asked her if she had heard about this specific update, she said she had not heard anything. So I requested a Tier 2 officer and they're going to call me back in an hour.

No chance it would be processed quicker as the local USICS not hiring additional employees just to make your wait less, it would go as low priority case at the top of what they dealing with. Fox example, n400 at my local office 13 months. Top priority btw.

So we're screwed either way. What a relief. 

 

THANKS OBAMA.

I get same transfer for local office I-751 

I wait 3 years get 2 interw. 1 interview was in Philadelphia 2 Chicago . So they wanna 3rd interw . 

[jeffkadrliktorr 99]

So I just got off the phone with a Tier 2 officer. I explained everything to him, I even mentioned that there was discussion online

regarding whether or not this is a system glitch, or legitimate update and that many people have received the same update at once.

 

So he took my information, I mentioned that I had 2 different receipt numbers (one of which used to bring up an error). He put me on hold for

a couple minutes. When he came back he said that he looked in multiple places (in his system I assume) and it's still showing that my case

is at the California Service Center. He said that the case status thing was most likely an error. He also mentioned

that if my case had been transferred and that if I was scheduled for an interview that I would've received a letter in the mail as well.

 

I'm just going to go back to assuming the online case status system is not reliable and assume that I'm stuck waiting like I was a couple days ago

Yes, plz let us know. This all situation is so confusing, and the most frustrating thing is that no one  can give us a true answer on what is going on...

If you're feeling frustrated about it I would call USCIS  and ask them about it. Ask the agent if they will transfer you to a Tier 2 agent, and then you can schedule a call back from them. I feel better after speaking to an actual employee, so maybe you will too.

Using an app, I tried to search for 500 cases around my case number. Out of the 500, around 30 of them are showing "Validation Error". This clearly means that their status was not updated to "Case received at local office"

 

Not sure if this means anything, but if it was a glitch wouldn't everyone receive the update?

 

Also, the 500 cases I searched are all CSC cases with WAC at the beginning and are all I-751.
