Case Transfer

[Diane Owino 2]

Hi all,

I just spoke to a live chat agent at USCIS regarding our I-130 case being transferred this year. We started out in the Potomac Service Center. The live chat agent informed me our case was transferred to Vermont. I am thinking around early September. The Vermont Service Center has a processing time of 16 months. Our priority date is September 27, 2021. The earliest we can contact USCIS for inquiry on our case is June 21, 2023. This is a setback I feel for our case.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions or tips for next steps to take (besides waiting) for our case?

 

Thanks.

Diane😇

Our case was transferred a few years ago.  It caused no setback. Your priority date doesn't change when the case is transferred.

Did you file online?  If yes, the first SC is the Acceptance facility.  They then can re-assign to another for load balancing.  You will not be notified of this reassignment.  Mine was accepted in Nebraska.  I asked Emma and it is in Vermont, here is a screenshot of my post last October 2021.

no, it doesn't. See my post here.

Vermont is processing faster than California currently.

Do not worry.. agents do not have much information.  Cases can be transferred to load balance but certainly not to cause more trouble or backlog.  You will get approval in the next two weeks.  Vermont is not taking that long,  they are better than Calif (one month behind)

Could you please share the link on how I can check where my case is? We’ve been waiting for Texas service center since August 2021, first actively review in December 2021 and it’s over a year now and no word.

Hi,

 

Thanks for all the support on this forum.

 

If you google www.uscis .com I believe (don't quote me on that) you can find the live chat with Emma. You may have to hunt a bit but you will eventually find how to check on your case. I am still new at this and still researching all of this information myself.
