This is going to be good news for those who get transferred. For the rest of you, it won't help. Back when they transferred the April/May folks, we thought this would allow TSC to catch up and process our August case faster.

No such luck. If anything, TSC got slower and CSC got faster. It took us 224 days to get our approval, which we think is absolutely absurd. If you're in the group selected, you should have some good luck with processing. If you aren't in the group selected, don't expect this to help you one bit - based upon the previous transfer performance.

Very true...we'll see what happens.

In August they transferred April and May case - so those that were 3-4 months in the queue by then. Using that logic again (not that anything USCIS does is logic) would mean November and December cases get transferred.

However, after transferring those cases, until now, in more than 6 Months, TSC has only managed to process June, July and maybe 3/4 of August as well as a handful of later cases. Geez, they suck!

Maybe I am being naive, but I am so thrilled to hear this news and I really do believe it's a response to all of the advocacy from various VJ members in terms of contacting representatives, the white house, and so on. It may have happened no matter what but I still think that your voices have been heard. As someone who watched in frustration from the sidelines and was glad to see a dedicated group of people working their tails off to make a change--I just want to say thank you for all of your work! Now let's see what USCIS will come up with next :)

No thanks.

No thanks.

But sometimes it's not all about "me." It's the happiness for others...if future filers can be approved quicker than what we've been going through... that would be so nice to see!

We'll all be approved in a matter of time, I do understand the frustrations.

Thanks, Aviator, for the new "Transfer" thread. I will use that one, but wanted to post here too.

I managed to get my case to CSC, and am SOOOOO happy for my TSC to get transferred to Cali!

Hopefully, my case gets processed before they crack open the TSC cases! :devil: But I am willing to wait for those who have been waiting longer than I have! This is great news!



Signature coming soon...
