I-129F-spouse transferred to VSC - question

[Dayna 0]

I received email notification tonight that my husband's I-129F (spouse) petition was transferred to the Vermont Service Center... where I had sent his I-130 petition. I had sent the petition to Chicago center. Is this normal process for the I-129F to be transferred from Chicago to Vermont (my site for I-130)?

Also, I cannot tell if this is moving quickly or slowly. I have not received approval yet.

Here is my timeline, any opinions anyone?? It seems like it's moving quickly, so far... Chicago received and transferred in less than 2 weeks.

Thanks!

Transfers of K-3's to VSC is relatively new.

The exact same thing happened to my paperwork. I sent the I-130 to VSC and then I sent the I-129F to Chicago. After a few weeks they transfered the I-129F to the VSC where it sits now. Things seem to be going about the same for our cases. Good luck.

Yes it is the normal process for them now. Have you read the 'announcement' by Captain Ewok pinned at the top of this forum; and the thread that was started regarding this?

Beginning October 23, 2006, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) National Benefits Center (NBC) began transferring Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), (petitions for K-3-spouses of U.S. citizens only), to the California Service Center (CSC) and the Vermont Service Center (VSC), depending on the location of the related Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. This transfer is being implemented in preparation for Phase 3 of the USCIS initiative to use centralized filing and bi-specialized adjudication. Through this Bi-Specialization effort, USCIS continues to align similar workloads between two “sister” service centers, CSC and VSC, to better manage cases and improve customer service.
