Case moved to Vermont

[kkeys 40]

Our case as well was transferred from Nebraska to Vermont. No agent can give me a clear date, some say February (which is when we applied) and give the exact date we applied. They insist it was sent to Nebraska, then transferred to Vermont. 

I am feeling very anxious and frustrated. We waited so long to get to this stage, only to be quoted another 24-36 months PLUS the time to get an interview... It's very disheartening. 

I have a peer who was a Jan 2021 filer who was sent to Vermont and approved already.

Hi guys,  so it looks like they "touched my case" I think.  I filed june 2020. But the notice I got today is the same one I got when I recieved my reciept notice the first time. What does that mean.  I follow other I130 cases on my app and the same thing happened to theirs.

We got the same thing. I noticed when you do the USCIS Case status page, the wording now says that the notice was "sent" in the title, whereas it used to say "emailed". I contacted USCIS live chat and they had no idea what I was talking about but had 0 update on my case. 

Got me very dissappointed.

It has to mean something different I think. Why would someone go in and just update to "sent", i think that would be waste of time on thier end. About a month ago about three cases in my app all updated the same day to approved. Im hoping that it means that they are least doing something with our case right now. I will keep posted.

Same here. Sent vice emailed. Sent is more correct as they were never emailed but seems an odd change. Lawfully now has both notices.

Well USCIS didn't notify us, but Lawfully, which is an AI that tracks changes, did. 

I feel like Lawfully auto refreshes the case status page and sends a notification when they detect any change in the page.

Yes that would make sense.  It updated on all the apps I use to track my case.

I was looking on the trends page, and it seems as though Vermont has one of the better wait times between NOA1 and NOA2 on Visa Journey versus the other service centers... I am so curious to see if its reliable or not.. I see mixed reviews on here on the reliability of it!

Nothing. Im subscribed to uscis emails and they announced VT was closing one of their offices. I have absolutely no clue if its where they process cases or not. You can google it and it should come up.

VisaJourney says that based on their data Vermont is working on cases from Feb 28 2021(I know its not reliable anyways)... I am FEB 27 2021 and nothing yet for me, but maybe soon?

Who knows, Im June 2020 and nothing.  Visa Journey is just a pool of ppl that are users of this website. Im sure there are thousands of cases that are still waiting that don't use this site. Who knows. USCIS says its on March of 2018.

 Hi our case we were told that it was transferred to Vermont in February we apply June 2020 my lawyers trying to find out what's going on and why it was transferred but in the meantime my Visa journey has its processing times estimated I believe from the people that are signed up on this website the real USC IS processing times you need to Google and look at those Vermont is on I believe August of 2018 or April of 2018. I also YOUTUBE videos about immigration cases being transferred and what that means.  Good luck!

My lawyer just said my case is still showing processing with VT, nothing new. Anyone else have any updates?

Vermont seems to be the collector of complicated cases by internal USCIS memos. Perhaps besides those they do "easier ones" to ease the workload of others?

 

We have learnt yesterday that our case was transferred from Potomac to Vermont sometime last autumn. No USCIS info or update since NOA1 to Potomac in Nov 2019.

We were well beyond receiving date in Potomac but could not make an outside of processing time inquiry, then it turned out: surprise, we were transferred to Vermont.

My attorney forced her way through the aotomatic phoneline forwarding you to the website and managed to talk with a human being requesting a level 2 office to call back.

I have heard the same thing, Vermont as the collector of more complicated cases.  But given that it was tranferred the same day the NOA1 was issued, it seems unlikely that they were able to determine that quickly that it was a "complicated case".  I'm just wondering, if your case gets transferred after you have already been waiting at one center for say one year, does the wait time start over at the new center?  So would your wait time for Vermon still be 28-36 months or they would reduce it by the time you already waited?
