How does USCIS decide which service center to proceed each cases??

[Kimidoko 1]

I wonder how USCIS decide which service center to proceed each cases ...?

 

My husband received NOA1end of Apr. 2019. The receipt no. starts from "LIN" and the place of receipt on NOA1 is Nebraska Center so my case  will proceed at Nebraska Service Center for sure. But... my husband lives in Austin, TX.

I thought USCIS assign one of 5 centers depend on where petitioner lives so i thought my case would send to Texas Service Center.

 Is my understanding correct ? Or it's just because we failed something then my case sent to wrong center...??

I am getting a bit worried....😓

It'd be really nice and helpful  to hear you guys experiences!!!

 

 

Thank you !

USCIS disperses petitions based on type generally to certain service centers from the lockbox. For instance, all I-129f petitions (fiance visa petition) go to California center regardless if the person lives in New York or Florida or Texas... They do sometimes transfer petitions also depending on work load or issue with a case. I'm sure yours got sent to the appropriate service center and shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Yeah I don't think its based on where petitioner lives because I live closer to Potomac and Vermont than I do Texas yet Texas is where my petition ended up. Nebraska is so slow right now, I don't understand why they're even still sending petitions there. It doesn't seem like the workload is distributed evenly as it should be.

you  may consider this

it could be for security of the immigration personal 

since people get so emotional in this process and all government offices are concerned with the term "going postal"

i would also send a NY application to Texas and a Texas application to Nebraska

 

just so applicants were not so close to the office processing their documents that they could slow up with bad intentions

Eww!! Getting emotional and making complainant never solve anything.That totally doesn't make sense but i can understand their feelings a bit.I just hope USCIS speed up their procedure and everyone can get approval!(include me😄)
