I-129F TRANSFER THREAD - If you have been recently transferred, please post here!!!

I feel as we are not getting updates of transfer, it means nothing new for us

April: Thanks for the link. Confirms what I suspected what the cure was at TSC. Good news then if they are sending ALL to CSC. That means Philippines applications for April, May.... will get moved and that will speed things up at TSC by 20% as long as they keep it up.

It will be interesting to see the CSC impact. If their days from NOA1 to NOA2 stays close to the same in 60 days it will make the TSC processors look real bad.

Hi Kristin,

This is what I got from DHS leg affairs:

" Good Afternoon Nick,

It is my understanding that the workload shift regarding the I-129F; I-140; I-485; and Forms I-821D/I-765 forms which were mentioned in the GovDelivery bulletin relate to newly filed applications, petitions or requests for consideration and not to already pending applications, petitions or requests for consideration. I hope that this helps."

Sorry it isn't better news...

That EFFing sucks

I applied in February and am now officially at the end of the TSC line. FML.

At this rate, all new K1 applicants (although maybe slightly slower than the current speed at CSC) will be processed before me despite filing after me

Woe is me.

Rant complete

Nope, you are very wrong, I'm a mid-March filer (like 1 week before the routings to CSC began) that meaning you are not at the very end. (to make you feel better)

Me and some other mid-March filers are the true last ones on the TSC line!!!!

Ok, you definitely have a right to rant harder than I do lol

This whole process is like a cruel cosmic joke. Really sucks that you missed it by a matter of days and not weeks. I'm so sorry!!!

I'm right there with you (literally. filed 5 days after you did). Basically all TSC filers who filed up up until March 26 will be leapfrogged by all new filers until things even out....which will probably take at least 3 or 4 months, if it ever happens.

[KristinD 77]

Here you guys go.....65 other I-129F's were filed the same day as me *joy*

If you want to feel even better look at the current CSC graph. *YEAH*

Yeah. It. Just. Really. Sucks. ###.

Jeez. That's cray Lots of love in December = More anxiety than you've ever experienced in your life for the next 6-12 months! I'm sorry

Yea I'm sorry too... But I won't start crying over that.... maybe in 6 or 7 months

I think I'll try to focus my efforts here over the next 6 months on improving user data. Any recommendations on who I can talk to to drive into it?

It just bothers me that I am still seeing 129F NOA2 estimates for VSC! It bothers me even more than CSC filers put down TSC and throw off the data even more.

Is there a way we can structurally change the timeline process so people are not inadvertently filling out incorrect or impossible info?

One person is another thread** made a great suggestion of changing the "Service Center" drop down to a "Receipt Number Prefix" dropdown. IE: Instead of selecting CSC or TSC, one would select "WAC" or "SRC."

This would take the logical fallacy of state-of-residence determining the service center designation.

What do you guys think? It's a fairly simple text-based change to the values of the dropdown, nothing in terms of coding/programming.

**I don't remember who, though much credit is due!

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.

Exactly

I like it. I'm taking a graduate research methods course, so I'm all about improving the data right now. Haha. I think there's a forum for comments about the website where you could propose some things.

[D&J<3 1]

This all makes me want to cancel my current k1 petition (NOA1 is Feb. 27) and just re-file and pray they take my new petition straight to Cali! Hahaha I would never actually do this nor do I know if it's possible, but it would probably get me my fiancé here 5 months quicker!

Seriously though, it's encouraging to know we are all in this together. We're all unhappy and upset now because of the crazy unfairness with the difference in processing times, BUT how beautiful is it that by Fall of THIS YEAR most of us will finally be with the loves of our lives! The majority of us are getting married in 2015! Woo-hoo!!! No more long distance. No more long months apart. No more expensive plane tickets or taking weeks off of work. No more frustration with failed Skype calls and broken connections. We will all reach the day this year where we will wake up every day next to our wonderful spouse! So excited!! Praying the time goes by fast for us all!!!!!
