Case Was Received At My Local Office

[Natonstan 129]

Just got this email randomly, I never called USCIS or put in any service request. I know a few others got this, i'm CSC. 

We are still reviewing your case and there are no updates at this time

We will notify you when your case status changes. We last took action on your case on February 26, 2018.

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.

Agree!

Can't help but think they're just stating the obvious, seems like a waste of time sending the emails!

The more I think about this 'case transferred' situation, the less I think it's a bug ... and less that I think it's for real.

 

I'm now wondering if there has been some sort of upgrade of the computer system that processes I-751/CRI-89 cases. I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that the system used to process these cases is the Immigration Marriage Fraud Amendments System (IMFAS), which I believe is an old legacy system. 

 

I'm wondering if lots of cases have been transferred to a new computer system, and that the transferring of these cases from one system to another, has inadvertently caused the 'Case received at my local office' message.

 

These 'case transfers' began on February 25, 2018 and so far, there have been virtually no reports of any applicants receiving notice of transfers documents in the mail. At the same time, I-751 application numbers that have been invalid for over a year, have suddenly sprung into life. Also, if you're affected, and you check your case on the DHS website, the 'Submitted Date' of the I-751 is the same as the date when these 'transfers' allegedly begin, rather than the date you actually applied.

 

I know that someone will give me the 'this is speculation' line, and yes it is. I know, sit back, wait, don't stress, they'll get to your case ... :-)

 

I had a similar thought about a week ago.  As far as I am concerned, with all of the system outages as well, this is the only logical answer.  Let's wait and see...

It’s sent because you have the “inactive” alert set up in the new system.  You can go back to in-select it or you will get one each and every week.

You just need to change settings in your account. "Case inactivity notifications" need to be turn off.

I wonder why this is the first time I've ever received this? I'll go in and get that turned off anyway.

[Maya2015 28]

I will keep this on... this notification is better then nothing. last week it was dated with Feb 10th 2017, today it was Feb 26th 2018...

I also got the same email I wonder if we all got it at the same time , Most likely yes. 

But at least the email says “took action on your case “ instead of “case received”... hopefully they review the cases this week and see a lots of approvals .

I just got off the phone with a  Tier 2 USCIS agent and they confirmed that my case is still at the CSC, November 2017 filer here,

Remember Tier1/Tier2 they are still known as the misinformation line.

😔 had your case said "transferrd" at any point?

[sls 13]

I dont think November 2017 and 2018 were transferred. I think the ones that were transferred are those with the updates that say March 4th 5th ...

Totally agree!!

 

My rant:  This 'transfer' thing is consuming me.  I'm sucked into this vortex and can't seem to get out.  I need my life back.  Some how I need to separate myself from this mess and resume my life.....I want this process over so I just live a normal life again. Argh!!!!
