I-129F transfered to texas after 4 months

[miller and unabia 0]

they received on start date NOA1 on 3-13-13, and we were sent to the Vermont service center. It has been 4 months now. Just got a notice saying my case has been sent to Texas as it is my area.

I went on line and entered my zip code and the USCIS said Vermont is my center. they have the zip right as I just got it in the mail. Then I go to time line on my case file and there is not a Texas service center listed for I 129-F. they only list the California and the Vermont center.

I was happy as the Vermont center had gone from 5.5 months average to 5 months average and now my case is being sent to a center not listed. I did mail my application to Texas. but they sent it to Vermont in a few days. Got letters along the way. So they are good at that. but getting online info is hard if there is no Texas center located.

Texas usually doesn't handle i-129F, but since the Vermont Service Center is 'very busy' they transferred petitions to Texas. My petition was transfered after 5 months and got my noa 3 weeks later in Texas. we had to wait because they weren't trained for this kind of petitions. There is nothing wrong with petitions.

a bunch of us from dec to feb filers were transferred tsc and receive approval fairly quickly. I received mine after a week of transfer. the tsc is located in mesquite texas.

Texas is working with Vermont's I129F. The most important thing now is getting an approval good luck!

thanks everyone for the info. I feel better now. I thought it might be the sequester thing maybe. But now I understand that Vermont is trying to keep the timeline as it is recommended. On time. So I should be happy they care to try and meet the goals. Wish us the best. Hazel has be in cooking school and is becoming a great cook. I only get to see pictures of the dishes but it sounds like I will be eating them soon also. thanks again.

Thanks for posting this and for responses, everyone. We filed in April and just received notice of transfer to Texas Service Center. Was a bit concerned but this makes me feel better. Fingers crossed!

Just to let all know I got my text message last night from the Texas Center. NOA - 2 approved 7-30-13. I want to come here then but my hands were shaking to much. Well just to let you know getting sent to Texas is not a bad thing in my book. 8-13-13 would have been 5 months. So they came in two weeks short of their time line. My being from DC and a Redskin Fan let me say God Bless the Houston Texans. Hope this helps anyone in the same situation.

Oh the text just said action had been taken. I had to go to my case status to get the result. Just so you do not kill the phone looking for the rest for the text. God Bless
