Hi All,

 

I just checked my account and we also have a date change - May 14th. I think this has to do with the email we sent last week since our case is out of the normal processing times.

My case is not out of normal time! I was originally Nebraska, then was transferred to Vermont! So I’m not sure what are the updates for, but I’m thinking we might have the same person working on our cases and they going through the process which means they are working them. What center is yours? And did you get transferred?

No, I've never been transferred. My case has always been at Texas Service Center.

Did u send in inquiry too?

Not for i130, but I did for 129f so I guess that might trigger them to look at 130 since the process for 129f is almost up.

We on the same boat then, I would definitely call or chat with Emma and ask if your case was transferred. They transferred a lot cases. You might be lucky they transferred you to Texas or Potomac.

I just finished chatting with a live agent and she said my case was transferred from Nebraska to Vermont on February 23. This is a little disappointing considering Vermont and California have the slowest processing rate, but I was reading on November filers thread that some who have had their cases transferred from Texas and Nebraska were  approved according the the original service center time lines; I hope that's the case for all transfers.

My latest date change was May 7.

Good luck to you all and hope we can see more October filers approvals soon!
