This has been happening alot lately. Seems the workloads are being shuffled. Some went to MSC (Missouri Service Center) and immediately were sent to CSCor VSC. It's all good.

Is the Beneficiary here in US or NIgeria?

Well i think it has to do with were you reside........ My case was transferred as well from California to Vermont, my hubby resides in Florida, so i think Vermont has jurisdiction over Florida......... I spent 3 months in California before my case was transferred and spent 5months in Vermont........... I also have a friend whose case was transferred today as well from California to Vermont and her hubby stays in Florida too. So your case was transferred to the proper place of filing

@dwheels , the beneficiary which is my husband lives in Russia but he is a Nigerian. So do you think it requires interview ? and will they send me letter in the mail telling me what to do ? or i should keep calm and wait for their next step.

No unless it was transferred to your Local office......

I have seen cases where they were transferred to the local office for an interview

My hubby was not interviewed though

Of course he will have to be interviewed. Did you put the Consuate in Russia as the place to interview or will he be interviewing in Nigeria. You just filed so its just reshuffling work around. You will get regular processing. All they did was transfer your case. You still have some waiting to do than NVC than interview queue. Like another 5 to 8 months of waiting.

thank you so much , since my husband lives in Russia and not living with me in USA, even though they want interview , he cant do any interview i will have to do it. but in their email , they did not specify any name, they just said they transfered it to another office for processing, does that means there won't be any interview for me since they did not specify any local office? and also they said that they have send me a notice of this transfer, that means i should be expecting it in my mail.thanks

We put his address in Russia but I was told that i supposed to put his Nigerian address since his not a citizen of Russia, then he must have his interview in Nigeria and i was told that once they send is approved and the NVC finished theirs also and they send the IV to Moscow , I should contact NVC to change the embassy from Moscow to Lagos and then he can have an interview in Lagos. please is this right ? if not, what should we do. please i will be happy if you can reply

If a interview would be requested from local office it would be to interview you which would not be a good thing. I would not stress so much a transfer dear. Just go with the flow. You could call and ask if there is anyting additional. But I wouldn't worry. But no they would nit be requesting to interview the Beneficiary at this point.

oh ok. thank you so much, i will just wait and see what will happen. thanks

Well if he can't interview in Russia than yes you will need to contact NVC once your case gets there to Lagos. You can't call NVC now they don't have your case. Try calling USCIS maybe they can advise.

Just as Dwheels said, don't stress yourself over it............. Its just the normal processing

since you posted about this transfer I have read 3 others who got same letter just today. You have to realize as many have been screamin and complaining how awfully slow Vermont is. And California now seems to be slowing down. This time of year California slows down and won't pick up until February.
