I am a ROC november 2016 filer and N400 December 2017 filer, and I just checked my original WAC as well, and it says that today FEbruary 26th my ROC was transferred to OKC, my field office. At least this transfer means someone has touched our case. Hopefully it goes fast from this point. For your N400, did you apply online?

No, I filed paper to lock box. 

well the good thing for those that have had their files transfered, your case isn't missing because it has been touched.  lol. Also if you have filed N-400 and status has been updated to "inline for interview", now you are thru the gates. Chances now of getting the interview is 99% due to your file being in the field office. Just remember to take your spouse as it will be i-751 and n-400 interview. 

Any progress is good progress if you have been waiting for 17 months like me. Seattle is like Dallas, looks like quite another few months wait.

i just checked my status, it says case was received at my local office (LA). Does it mean i will have an interview or something? or all the cases must go through at the local office? My NOA is sept 20th 2016.

 

Your local office will interview you for your I-751 at the same time they do your N-400. Due to the combined interview, take your spouse as they are needed for the i-751 interview. 

I think this is 1 way California are trying to lighten their load, but it's certainly not a new thing. It's happened many times before.

No i didn't apply N400. i thought the case was processed at CSC not in the local office. Does it mean something wrong if the case is transferred to the local office?

Mine got transferred to the local office too as of today. My NOA is 9/28/16, CSC filer. No N400 filed. It seems to have happened to everybody including people who only just filed? So weird.

i didn't apply N400. Seems like a lot of people got transferred to the local office. so it means once we got transferred, we will have the i751 interview?

2 questions

 

1. How do you know that your case has been transferred? Are you seeing this in Online Case Status?

 

2. If it's transferred to the local office, does that mean automatic interview required for the i-751?

it shows on check your case status. it was validation error every time i entered the WAC number before. it updated today that says "case was received at my local office". no notification or letter or anything.

Is that the thing that everyone was talking about at the beginning? People said that they had 2 numbers, and one wouldn't work? Because my WAC number has always shown "Case Received" and never updated. I'm wondering if my number that's been working will show transferred, or if I should try to input the other number that never worked?

Check the one that didn't work before. That's the one saying transferred for everybody.

Try to use the first one,  the one that wasn't working

yes, i suppose everyone at least has two WAC numbers. one is from the bio letter that shows that case was received is from the bio letter. the other is from NOA that showed validation error before and now updated to case was received at my local office. 

[BFP XX 62]

Okay, yes... I just input the other number, and it shows transferred to local office as of today. Do you think this is because our biometrics expired? I have seen posts that indicate that 15 months is the cut off, and then they have to be redone - But I've seen other parts contradicting this, so who knows?

i think transferred to local office for processing, since some petitioners received the approval letter from their local offices.

17 months is a very longtime. I just got off the phone with USCIS asking them about this transfer, and the officer was specific, that, it is to reduce the backlog on CSC. So, hopefully, we are going to see lots of approvals from CSC applicants. Good luck.

I just got off the phone with USCIS asking them about this transfer, and the officer was specific, that, it is to reduce the backlog on CSC. So, hopefully, we are going to see lots of approvals from CSC applicants very soon. Good luck. I have an infopass for my extension stamp soon...so I will get a chance to ask more about my case, and hopefully ask for an expedited action, it wont change anything I know, but I will just put it out there to them.
