Workload Transfer for Various Forms

USCIS recently began transferring some casework within the service centers to balance workload processing capacity. The affected casework includes the following forms:

I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) Vermont Service Center (VSC) to Texas Service Center (TSC)

I-130, Petition for Alien Relative (F2A category for spouses and children of permanent residents) VSC to Nebraska Service Center (NSC)

I-821D, Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (with accompanying Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization) VSC to NSC

I-751, Petition to Remove the Conditions on Residence VSC to California Service Center (CSC)

Effect on Customers

If your case was transferred, USCIS will send you a notice listing the transfer date and where your case will be processed. Your original receipt number will not change. You should reference your original receipt number and indicate your case was transferred to a new location when making any case status inquiries.

If you have filed one of the affected form types and you receive a request for evidence or any other type of communication from USCIS, please read the notice carefully to ensure that you respond to the same service center that sent you the notice

Redirecting Form I-129F

Starting the week of July 29, 2013, USCIS began redirecting all newly filed Forms I-129F from the VSC to the TSC. The receipt notice will bear a TSC receipt number beginning with “SRC”. The case will be processed by the TSC. The CSC will continue receiving Forms I-129F.

USCIS will post additional Web updates to inform customers of any future workload realignments.

Thanks for sharing, l was beginning to get worried why my application was transferred.

Hopefully they can reach a decision soon.

Will this improve the rate of processing? I pray it does!

Well it could be because when I checked the atest Nebraska Sercie Center volumes they were ridiculously low compared to VSC and CSC. They are doing so to process the maximum of applications given that as per the new rule established by USCIS, adjudication happens only when a category is current. Since F2A is current for August it means that PD 2011, 2012 and up to JUL 2013 will be processed now.

LEt's all hope for good news in the coming days!
