Does anyone have experience or an explanation for a redirected I-129f petition?
My fiancee and I were so careful preparing the documents (as I'm sure all of your were.) We're lucky enough to be in the Eastern (Vermont Service Center) part of America. It should entitle us to enjoy the fastest processing times available. I saw a couple who had their 1st NOA on the same day as ours listed on the immigration timelines page...they got the NOA 2 in 11 days! I know thats the exeption to the rule, but Vermont is by far the fastest.
That said...our petition was inexplicably redirected to California (the slowest processing center - as many as 4+ months!) This effectively doubled or tripled our time in "petition purgatory" assuming that we wouldn't have gotten the same lucky 11 -15 day turn around that many other couples have enjoyed from the VT center.
OK, what gives? Why would a petition bounce like that? Any ideas? Any similar experiences?
Thankfully I can spend this time with my fiancee as we live together overseas, but we are really ready to go home after 4 years away from America.
