You do not have authority to transfer your case to field office. Only NBC can do that.

Yeah my husband called them today that's what they told him.

you confirmed it was transferred to a local office yes???

your local office is san Francisco

Not yet we dunno how can we transfer our case in SF. How can we do that? Do we need to call the USCIS or the National Benefits Center? Thanks for the big help!

not even remotely possible.. csc is a service center and doesn't do 130's for over a year now

your file is going to be at san Francisco: http://dashboard.uscis.gov/index.cfm?formtype=4&office=76&charttype=1

if I remember correctly, the SF office is taking around 6 months now, based on the last vj member I saw out of that office and their current volume chart

Thanks much for that info! How can we transfer our case to SF office?

ours will be 9months this september 30 praying and hoping that it will come soon!!

Just keep up the faith! We're praying that ours will also be approve this month (as my birthday gift). The Lord will be gracious to us all!

Mine was 8.5 months hang in there

Yes! Thank you.

if you can find out exactly where your petition is, you will be able to get a better understanding of your individual timeline.

it is most likely at your local office now.. the local office is where the great variables come into play

if you read through the guides already and have done a good job assembling your package, then don't worry, ask or stress about other people's rfe's .. rfe's are the exception not the rule for those of us who put together a decent package

Thank you! When we called the USCIS they told us that our local office is the NBC. Is there a possibility that our case may be transferred to CSC?

Why are they taking too long to process our papers? My friend's papers (I-130) were approved in just 3 months & it just took her 8 months to complete the whole processing. What are the additional RFE they're requiring? Thanks guys!

Hi everyone can you please make some comments on this topic? Does USCIS still follow this time frame? My papers are on their 6th month on the 29th of this month. There's no request for RFE it means our papers are all complete. Is there a possibility that our papers be approve this month?

Ok thanks! At-least 1 more month to go

Please tell me more about RFE. Thanks!

My husband lives in California & has filed an I-130 petition for me. The USCIS received it last March 29, 2013. So far all our papers are complete & we are just waiting for a decision as we check our case status on their page. Its been already 5 months now & our case status is still in initial review. My friend has the same case with mine but hers only took 3 months to be approve. Why us is taking this long? Please somebody help us thanks!
