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.

No, it means once your NOA-1 date is before the official USCIS processingt times. Currently, that means 8 months and 7 days.

Outside normal processing is anything more than 6 months, right?

Sadly no. It's anything that is before the official date they process on the USCIS site. I was more than 6 months out, but didn't matter since my NOA1 date was after Aug 2 and that is the current official date. Even though that says as of Jan 31, they still use that as the current date they are processing.

Just a quick heads up....the Jan 31 date is ONLY for cases being processed in the time frames. If they have an actual date, the last case they touched before the update was released it that actualy date.

So as of March 6, the last case "officially" processed was Aug 2.

-----------------------

When filling in your timeline, please understand that all I-129F's are sent to the LOCKBOX in Texas, and then ROUTED (not transferred) to your ASSIGNED service center- the one in Texas "TSC" (not the same as the lockbox!), or the one in California "CSC". If your tracking number starts with WAC, you're at the CSC, you were not transferred! There are no transfers at this time. If your number starts with SRC you're at the TSC and that's where you will serve your entire sentence.USCIS isn't fair.

They don't care about you.

Want to complain to someone anyway?

Looks like my suspicions were confirmed. At the very least I take comfort in knowing that voices were heard. Perhaps now the centers will even up on processing timed even if it means slowing down CSC. That way it thwarts the resentment between members here.

I reckon it's probably a good idea as all it does its cause more confusion and speculation. People are sitting on the edge of their seats already- without addedly being mislead into thinking they will be transferred.
