Well unless we see more of this type of thing happening, then I suspect that this was an anomaly. TabeaK is correct: one data point isn't enough to really know anything at this point. I tend to thin

LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT UPDATE Some of you may recall that the Skunkworks team sent a letter to president Obama requesting his help in balancing the I-129F processing times between the CSC and TSC.

They will take a while to initiate all the transfers. Try not to be disheartened because you didn't hear what you hoped for today. There may be more to be announced in the coming week or two.

Haven't heard anything from transfers, but from the March 2015 thread it seems another VJ member was routed to CSC when they should have been routed to TSC... from Virginia this time: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/539166-march-2015-k-1-filers/?p=7544586

I wonder if they will transfer existing cases at all, or just start routing new cases to CSC instead. If so, that's a little frustrating for us TSC filers who filed right before this change was made!

It looks like the one you're referring to was a Philippines case. Aren't they usually routed to CSC for expedited processing?

As far as I know, Philippines cases get routed the same as all other cases. I don't know if CSC still expedites them since they process everything so fast anyway, but there definitely have been recent cases of Filipino expedites at TSC. So, no, I don't think Philippines automatically get routed to California.

And other one from the March thread, this time from Alabama. Their timeline doesn't say, but their profile seems to say the beneficiary is Vietnamese. So 3 so far today, I can only imagine there will be more trickling in.

Ugh, this is making me wish we'd waited another month to mail our application!

I just saw that too...I'm also an early March NOA1 filer at TSC :unsure: Still hoping to hear about some transfers for those already assigned to TSC. I certainly don't mind waiting my turn, but I just hope they get back to the 5 month processing timeframe...

I don't know if I'm being overly hopeful but from the wording and the instructions it sounds like they will do a transfer of old applications.

When asking about your case status, tell us your original receipt number and also say that your case was transferred to a new location.

I don't want to be overly pessimistic in return, but that wording may refer to the I-130 cases that are currently being transferred from Vermont to California (the first part of the notice). I hope that isn't the case, though, and that they will transfer old I-129F applications as well...

THOSE APPLICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SUCKED INTO THE TSC BLACK HOLE REMAIN THERE UNTIL THEY SPIT THEM OUT.... WHEN? WHO KNOWS??????

NEW APPLICATIONS IN MARCH THAT HAVE ESCAPED THE GRAVITATIONAL PULL OF THE BLACK HOLE AT THE LEWISVILLE TEXAS LOCKBOX ARE SAVED.

THEY GET TO PASS "GO" AND COLLECT $200 AND ARE ROUTED ONTO THE FAST TRACK AT CSC.

LIFE IS NOT FAIR. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

ANY SOUTHERN OR EASTERN STATES WITH NOA1 FROM SEPT 2014- FEB 2015 THAT GET TRANSFERED TO CSC (non Philippines) PLEASE POST!!!

Edited by Kyle and Linh

K-1 Journey

2/27/2015: Sent I-129F to Black Hole in Texas:
3/13/2015 NOA1 Received by snail mail:
8/18 2015 ; NOA2 APPROVED. Perfect timing since Linh's current B1/B2 visa stay expires in 3 days and heads back to Vietnam
8/24/2015: NOA2 Shipped to Department of State (DOS) - National Visa Center (NVC)
9/1/2015: NVC Received NOA2 Package and have assigned a Case Number!
9/22/2015: Received PKT3... Finally..... Can now make appointment for Medical Examination
9/28/2015: Medical Exam - Took 3 days... Cho Ray is a mess. Vaccinations delayed until passing Interview because of shortage of vaccinations in Vietnam
10/7/2015: Interview at Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City and APPROVED!!!!
10/22/2015 K1 Visa in hand. Son's K2 visa only valid for 6 months (W-T-F-?) Thought good for 1 year. Inquire at consulate and told visa good only as long as the medical which is 6 months K2 VISAS NOT GOOD FOR 1 YEAR AS ADVERTISED ON DOS WEBSITE!
10/29/2015 POE Chicago; Easiest pass through for Linh in her 4 previous entries.
11/2/2015: Not tuned in enough to Social Security not to pick "the first day of the month" to try to get signed up. Read VJ advice, it's spot on, we had a processor who knew K1. We were in the SAVE database in 3 days so it was easy after a 2 hour wait.

If that is true the person who made that decision is the dumbest person on earth. There is no way that just rerouting new cases will help the back log. If that's all they are doing it could actually slow it down...why work faster when there are not going to be new petitions added to the pile.

I'm hoping there are no transfers yet because they are still processing them so the notices haven't gone out yet but I'm definitely not holding my breath that anything is going to change. I'm happy for all of those who do get transfered but I think its time I prepare myself for the long wait ahead of me.

No updates, case status changes or the like for me. Now we'll have to wait until next week for news. Happy for anyone who escapes TSC, but very frustrated today too...
