I just received this email from the USCIS saying that our petition has been transferred to the California Service center. Last week when I got the NOA1 Email from them it said our case had been sent to Texas for processing. What's going on? Does this mean something is wrong?

Here's the email they sent:

The last processing action taken on your case

Receipt Number: xxxxxxxxxxxx

Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Your Case Status: Initial Review

On August 10, 2010, we transferred this case I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) to our CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action. Please follow any instructions provided on the notice. We will notify you by mail when a decision is made. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

All K-1 petitions go to Texas for intake first now. Which service center it gets sent to after that depends on which state you live in, either to California or Vermont.

Yeah I figured it was normal that it got sent to Texas but I double checked before we sent it and made sure Vermont was the service center for our state (Florida) so I'm just stressing out now that I did something wrong and that this will slow down our case. :unsure: What is even more upsetting is that the California center (based on the timelines) seems to be an entire month behind Vermont!

Hmm, odd, if you live in Florida then it does go to Vermont, or it used to. I live in Florida, and went through Vermont. Maybe you should get in contact with them and ask about it.

They said the letter they're sending will have an explanation but it could be another week before that arrives and I'm anxious to know now so I can stop stressing. :(

Could my living abroad have anything to do with it even though I gave them my parent's US address (in Florida) to use?

Is it possible they made a mistake? If I call will they be able to tell me why it was transferred?

I'm sorry for posting about this a lot but I just really need some answers.

I would give them a call. I'm not sure what they'd be able to tell you, but there's no harm in trying.

I guess I'll just give it another day and then if I still haven't heard from them I'll give them a ring. :unsure:

This is just so stressful! I wish they would explain themselves in the Email instead of making us wait another week or so for it in the post.

You will be fine. :) Breathe, relax, everything will work out. If they sent it to the wrong service center, I am sure it won't delay you more than a few days.

It's only a guess, so don't quote me on it or anything :) But everything WILL work out. I'd definitely be calling them next week though!

After doing some digging on the web and VJ I've found other forums regarding emails that are identical to the one I received (for a few different kinds of visas though). The reply these posters have gotten have all been saying that this means they won't have to go through an interview and such...but this couldn't possibly be true, could it? Rationally I'm thinking it must just be a mistake but, at the same time we have a very uncomplicated case (no divorces, no criminal records, living together, no children, he has been granted a visa before and has half brothers with dual citizenship)...etc.

Ah I'm doing my own head in with this....I'm definitely calling tomorrow! :wacko:

Ginger, let me just give you a little friendly advice, its just too early in the game to get this worked up. Have patience and let USCIS do what they need to do. Actually its GOOD they are corresponding with you. At least you know where your case is. There are people who have gotten their case lost and have to re-file. Be lucky you are not one of them...

Nothing in this process is easy or fast. What you could be doing is looking over other forms that you will need for the interview process. Read, read, read the guides! Familiarize yourself with the process so when the time comes you can do what you need to do. Look at the requirements for your particular embassy above under "Embassy Info". The more prepared you are, the better off you will be! Most of all, good luck and breathe!(F)
