Case Was Received At My Local Office

[Natonstan 129]

December 2016 filer here, also got the message today saying it has been transferred to local office, it seems this is happening to a ton of people and like someone mentioned, a couple have even had approvals today after noticing this, they had to phone and ask as their status hasn't changed to reflect this, I just called and got the usual speech about being within processing times..

Our status hasn't updated yet (Nov 17) but I think it would be a good thing if it gets moved. Our field office doesn't seem to be too terribly behind. Agree I'd rather have to go down there and get a resolution than wait 2 years!

Same update for me.

I have to say that this has the whiff of a widespread system glitch. @JeanneSs Congratulations! I don't want to rain on your parade, but could you have received misinformation from the USCIS Misinformation line?

Thanks! I don’t think it was a misinformation because I actually spoke to L2 officer who verified me by asking my DOB, Address and full name. She actually gave me the exact time I was approved which was 2hrs and 47 mins before I called. I’ll update if I receive the approval letter.

Lol!  There has been history of that, but I have seen some cases with the dates of Feb 24th, Feb 25th and Feb 26th.  It seems more like a mass mailing.  If it were a system glitch, I would expect all the dates to be the same.

The only thing that can say for sure is if we have a bunch of people who have already been approved  probably from as far back as September 2017 onward and majorly VSC filers volunteer to check their status as well. That would say a lot

Hi! Congratulations! )) Just to make sure, you also got that status about your case being tranfered to local office and then soon enough after this you got approved? 

 

December 2016 filler here. 

Got the same update "On February 26, 2018, we received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence...

and the second WAC number shows same old glitch with FEES WERE WAIVED. 

 

Im not sure what to think. My local office backlogged WORSE than CSC. If that is for interview scheduling, then i might as well wait another year ot two. 

 

QUESTIONS:

~ Have anyone called tier 2 officer to find out the meaning of this?

~ Could it be a system glitch just like that FEES WERE WAIVED status a tons of people have here?

~ Does it necessarily means scheduling for the interview ( even though as we see, it looks like a mass tranfer, not on individual basis) 

~ Have anyone else except one person in this thread got approved after the case transfer?

Good idea. Im going to ask this question 

[Cocoza 48]

Actually i don't think it's a glitch. I think its real. On properly going through mine, it has the most up-to-date information about my application. Address change request with the referral number and prcise dates as well as stating the next step.

[carapuce 35]

Same here.

It has all the history of my address change.

I'm a May 2017 CSC filler and got the update today. I'm tempted to call too...

I am a May 2017 VSC filer and after reading this post, I checked the I751 case number which I have not done before. My I751 case shows as, 

Case Was Received At My Local Office

On February 25, 2018, we received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number EACXXXXXXXX, at your local office. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

I wonder did they transferred CSC applicants to local field office only or VSC too? If its a glitch or a move from USCIS to handle the backlogged they will let us know pretty soon. 

[Scazy 78]

Ok so VSC and CSC BOTH doing a case tranfers

 so maybe the rumors about i 751  now require interviews is correct ( this is what i heard as well during a recent infopass for a stamp ) 

[mlh 93]

May 2017 filer here and the I-751 receipt number shows received at Local Office on Feb 26.    Hopefully this will move things along...

We are VSC April filler. our case was transferred to local Field Office yesterday.

Here is what it says now,  'We will prepare your case for officer review.  If we need more information, we will notify you."

I am of the opinion that it cannot be for interview because such a mass-transfer is usually a procedural shift. Unless I-751 interviews have become mandatory now.
