My I-130 was just approved a few days ago. I haven't received my hard copy so I don't know exactly where it was processed. It was transferred to a USCIS office from Vermont on September the 13th. It took them exactly 2 months to process my case after transfer, Less than 3 months since I mailed it out. I don't know if it was "auto-expedited" like they used to do it, but I know it was fast. I will come back and update you guys as to where it was processed when I receive the hard copy.
