Hey guys. So a few about 4 days ago my wife petitioned for me online (i130 F2A). We've been married close to 3 years though, she lives in Massachusetts where I have been visiting her using my tourist visa.

 

However, we knew from what's generally posted online that ALL cases coming from Massachusetts are handled by the Vermont Service center. When my wife called uscis yesterday she was told our case is being processed by Nebraska. Is this something that's common or should we expect that the case will eventually be moved to Vermont since we are from Massachusetts?

There is no geographical connection to where I-130s are processed and petitioner's location. ......The service center is assigned based on USCIS workload and internal procedures......

BTW, you are not living in Mass.....you are visiting the US.

Oh thanks for leting me know. Oh yes I don't live in Mass but my wife the petitioner lives there. I thought this would influence the location of the case.

Processing center assignments for petitions have nothing to do with petitioner's state of residence.
