how to predict where the application will be forwarded

[cchhat01 14]

Hi All,

I am waiting for the NOA1.

I am a New Yorker and have addressed all letter(s) and cover sheets within my packet to the Vermont Service Center (VSC).

What is the likelihood of my application being forwarded to the California Service Center?

Any other New Yorker's out there who can shout out which USCIS Facility ended up receiving their K1 Petition for adjudication?

Not that I would complain if it ended up at California (considering that they are chugging along faster than at CSV), it would make all my letters addressed to Vermont Service Center look moot and obsolete.

Please advise.

Thx.

You don't predict. Its listed on USCIS.

If you live in Alaska, American Samoa, Arizona, California, Colorado, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming = California Service Center

If you live in Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Washington, D.C., Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, U.S. Virgin Islands, and West Virginia = Vermont Service Center

I thought this information didn't apply since a while back... which is why I raised my question.

Anyhow, we shall see in a couple of days where my application ends up.

It still applys, the only difference is that you are not sending it to thos places anymore. Everyone sends it to the new sorting facility in Dallas instead. Its to help save the inbox from backing up in VSC and CSC.

Actually it may not apply they could be using the lockbox to keep the number of petitions that each service center gets balanced. There have been several NOA1s here that didn't go to the service center you would have thought.

My fiance is a New Yorker and our K1 is being adjudicated at VSC.

Based on the debacle with the VSC from October 2010 to March 2011 I wouldn't think so. While there are some that have done that here, I don't think it's a great deal.

CSC is so far head of VSC still even though VSC has been approving/RFEing/Denying like crazy lately.

USCIS doesn't know how to balance anything, as 99% of TPS's were processed at vermont in late fall at the same time when work visas were due, contributing to the backlog. Pretty much they designate specific centers for specific visas at times and they could care less if the amount overwhelms them, government efficency at it's best.
