N400 online notifications says, We transferred your application to another USCIS field office for review, any ideas on what this mean?

Hi guys, I just received the same message from my online account but the PDF document hasn't showed up yet:

 

May 17, 2019

We transferred your application to another USCIS field office for review

You do not need to do anything at this time

View your letter on your documents tab for an explanation on why we transferred your application.

Note: It may take up to a few days for your letter to show on your documents tab.

 

I applied for N400 naturalization on Feb 14th and I was mentally prepared that it might take a long time.  Surprisingly everything moved so fast:

 

1. finished biometrics on Mar 7

2. case transferred to another field office for review on May 17th.

 

I called USCIS and the agent said they were reviewing my case for an upcoming interview and it should be very soon!  I was like "What!?" cause the wait time estimated for me is supposed to be 8 months more.  But i'll see what's gonna happen next.

 

Oh, this is Los Angeles county and I didn't have any address change.

 

Will keep y'all posted.

Hello all,

 

well, it took them like from April 22 nd “first notification” just they transferred me only, till May 6th when it showed as they’ve scheduled me for an interview then like maybe another 2 weeks till the letter with the location and everything was available to view in my document tab. Now I’m having my interview on June 20th, at Newark office. 

 

Hope this will will help you, good luck!

I got this notice too! I'm also in LA. Originally applied in November 2018 and got biometrics reviewed in December 2018. The one positive thing about this notice is that my wait time decreased from 6 to 5 months upon receipt of notification. I've been waiting for the PDF to show up for a week now and it's still not there! I hope it's good news..........

@ruiN-ruiN This should be good news! I went to an Infopass today, and was told my case is inline for an interview. The lady said they book 45 days out but offices may differ throughout Southern California.

@Benoit_L   I got the same message in the same day 17 May .. I called the immigration and they told me this is a normal process... And still no updates till now is there's any one got something after this message ?

@flameshotel

 

Thanks for your inputs!  Actually I have been checking my online profile at USCIS but there's no further update. There is no document uploaded either that is related to such move. I think our files are in line for local office's reviews.

@Benoit_L

Not yet.  I got this message on May 17th this year and it's been almost 3 weeks; but still no further notices or actions. No docs uploaded yet.

I have got a similar message today online. My location is same for last 5 years. Indeed my completion timeline has also been increased from 12 to 14 months as of today. Not sure what is going on. Has anyone started getting messages for Texas region too?

[flameshotel 1]

I got the same message today - 'We transferred your application to another USCIS field office for review'. 

My N400 application was filed back in Apr '18.

I can't stop fretting and am wondering if this could lead to an RFE and indefinitely delay the processing of my application?

They also sent the same message for my wife's application that was filed with mine. If our applications are totally decoupled, then that that might also mean that it may not be very case specific. 

Thoughts and advice would be very welcome.

I forgot to mention that my USCIS field office is Seattle.
