I got an e-mail today saying my I-130 was transferred from Vermont to California Service Center as it has jurisdiction over the case and I will receive a letter from the local office. I live in upstate NY 2 hours from the Vermont Service Center. How is California local???????? Any ideas why??? What should I do? Is it possible Vermont is so backlogged they need help???? I am stressed now. Anyone else have this happen?

I just found out the same thing, I posted a thread in CR1/IR1 to see i could get an answer from sosmeone. I guess Vermont is realizing that they can't do it by themselves so they are asking fo rhelp or it is like I have been reading that California will be the service centre to process I130 in the future, I am just a little distraught though, was kindda hoping for an early approval seeing I was going through Vermont.

Don't worry!! They did the same thing with mine about a year ago. I don't know why they do that.. I was nervous about that too. But it didn't take long after that So it's all cool
