Transfer Notice - I'm confused!!!!!!!

[TerryandAngela 0]

After filing and expecting the NOA2 by the end of June, I was delighted to get another I-797C in the mail this morning....until I opened it. They have transfered my case to California, even though I live in Wisconsin and the official USCIS site STILL says I should send the I-129F to Nebraska....which is what I did.

This link shows there have been changes to where applications are supposed to be mailed

USCIS.GOV FORMS AND FEES

And it states

"NOTE: Effective 4/01/06, the filing addresses for Forms I-129, I-140, I-485, I-539, I-765, and I-907 will change. Address information will be available from each document’s Forms Entry Page, linked below. "

But when I follow the link to the I-129F form USCIS.GOV I-129F FORM....it states clearly on the form that if you live in Wisconsin it gets mailed to Nebraska!!!!!

So they've had the case since early April and they couldn't have sent this through a little faster??? I know they have a lot of cases and files to review but really!!! That's 2 months wasted time for the file to be sitting on someone's desk only to be transferred to another office.

I just had to complain somewhere, because I know it won't help to contact them and complain. It may only get the file sent back to Nebraska to start all over again.....AGAIN!!!

Nebraska are currently sending their K1s to CSC for processing, so you did nothing wrong.

There are a couple of threadds dealing with this in the K1 and USCIS topics

This is all related to IMBRA... you have some catching up to do.

It is a common mistake to read this link and information fast. Remember that there is a difference between the I-129 & I-129F in regards to what the forms are used to petition for.

You did mail yours correctly to the correct address.

I recieved one too. Notice Date of June 1st. IMBRA is an additional step In the process, I guess. I need to get Natasha to the US as soon as possible. We are expecting. So I called the 1-800 and asked someones opinion of when they think Natasha will be in the US. USCIS is thinking August.

Sorry to burst your bubble but it would be virtually impossible for this process to be only 3 months from start to finish in a normal situation. Now in the midst of IMBRA with no new form available yet and now real news on when and how this information will need to be provided, I would strongly suggest you plan on 6 months. Once you get through the US part, your approved petition needs to go to the NVC and from there to the consulate. This can take 2 days. This can take 2 months. Then, depending on how her consulate works and how long it takes her to get the medical and all of the required paperwork from you, it could be super fast or super long. My suggestion to you is don't make any definite plans. Don't buy plan tickets. Don't plan a wedding date. Plan to go there for a visit in the meantime. Just try to stay as calm and flexible as possible and count on a long wait. Then, if it's shorter than you expect, you'll be so happy.

Like KitKat I dont want to upset you but the August date is totally unrealistic. My NOA1 date is 15 Mar 06 with CSC and we are still waiting for them to even get to us. We are at 89days and counting now. Even under perfect conditions 6 months is more realistic. With IMBRA I would plan on another month or two.
