Just called using RFE trick. Turns out it was approved on 4 June, the day of our first touch. Woohoo! :dance: This was a lot quicker than the 90+ days I was expecting. I'll start hassling NVC next week to see if the petition has left for the Sydney Consulate. Thanks VJers for your support!

How do you do the RFE trick?

Call the USCIS at 18003755283 and select RFE route. You will then be forwarded to your service center of choice where somebody will eventually pick up.

OK. I just called USCIS and spoke to an Officer Martinez who was very helpful. She advised me that they are indeed sending all applications for K1 visas back to the Nebraska service center. This is supposed to speed things up, but we shall see.

I then asked her about my specific application and she said that it is in the process of being moved to Nebraska and might in fact already be there. Either way I should use the Nebraska date as my guideline. I know that this does not clear things up completely but I hope that it is a start.

Servise center of choice...lol..ok, so does that mean CSC or NSC??? lol

In my case it was the CSC, and judging from your file date, probably CSC for you too. Of course, if it's NSC then I think you'll be forwarded there automatically, if the change of centers has registered in their systems. Good luck!

What I did (and she was very nice) was did the RFE thing. When she asked what my question was about RFE, I told her that I had noticed that the website wasn't showing petitions and CSC anymore and that they were showing at NSC and I wanted to know where my petition was. She said that yes, petitions were being transferred and she looked me up and said i was at CSC and I told her that I saw the website updated (for my personal case) and if she could tell me if I was being adjudicated. She looked it up and said I was approved saturday and it was on it's way to NVC (that's why I was touched today?). I was on hold for over 20 minutes before I got through....but it was worth the wait!!!!! If anyone has a date close to mine, I would call.

The touch was evidently because it is being transferred to NVC. Tell tehm what I said. That you noticed that the petitions aren't showing on the CSC site and you want to know if it's being transferred to NSC.
