Yeah it has. It has indeed. Understand that although the process of transferring will begin tomorrow, not all petitions that are or will be selected for transferal will be completed in one day. And not everyone who is or will be transferred will receive their notices in one day either. So be patient, we'll see what happens.

As others have mentioned, it seems most likely that they'll transfer petitions from November/December based on the transfer that took place last year. That's a good approximation and makes for reasonable argument, but personally I'll wait to see exactly who is selected. We'll only know if those who are chosen post information about their transfer in this thread. So speak up if you are one of the lucky transfers! Thanks!

Yea I do know that but we need some hope here ! We never know Ahah

I will if I'm among the lucky ones to get transferred I saw that you had your NOA1 on September 15th, I had mine September 10th we are close ! Let's see if the choice is random or if there is some logic

Yuna is correct. The reference to the I-130 petitions from the VSC is separated because those transfers have already taken place. That is to say that they are in the past. The notice then continues by saying that effective tomorrow (ergo in the future) the following petition types will follow suit, and the list that is given includes the I-129F. Although it doesn't technically say where the I-129F petitions will be transferred, it is implied from the previous mention of CSC and also given from the fact that only the TSC and CSC are actively processing the I-129F. Granted, some I-129F petitions do make their way to the VSC, but it is unlikely (although possible) that any such petitions will be transferred from the TSC to the VSC. They'll go to the CSC and hopefully the processing time imbalance will be restored.

Time will tell.

Great !! Thanks everyone I hope we get some news tomorrow then.. It's been a loooooot of waiting !!

Hi-

According to the announcement that was made today, Thursday March 26, 2015, the USCIS will begin transferring I-129F petitions to the CSC effective tomorrow, Friday March 27, 2015. You can see the announcement on the USCIS's website:

http://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/workload-transfer-within-service-center-operations

And here it is again cut-and-pasted for convenience:

SCIS recently made two operational changes to balance our overall workload.

Workload Realignment

USCIS recently began transferring some Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, cases filed by lawful permanent residents for their eligible family members from the Vermont Service Center to the California Service Center.

If your case was transferred, USCIS will send you a notice listing the transfer date and where your case will be processed. Your original receipt number will not change and this will not delay the processing of your cases except for the additional time needed to transfer the file.

Effective March 27, 2015, USCIS will transfer the adjudication of some cases to balance our overall workload. The affected cases include those filed with the following forms:

• I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e)
• I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker
• I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (employment and asylum-based only)
• I-821D/I-765, Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals/ Application for Employment Authorization (initial and renewal requests)

The filing location and instructions for these forms will not change. Please continue to file the forms at the address noted on the form instructions and on the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov.

How to Track the Status of Your Case

You can check your case status at Case Status Online by entering your receipt number. You can also sign up to receive automatic case status updates by email.

You can ask us about the status of your case if you do not receive a decision within the published processing time. You may submit an inquiry using e-Request or call the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) at 1-800-375-5283. For TDD hearing-impaired assistance, please call 1-800-767-1833. When asking about your case status, tell us your original receipt number and also say that your case was transferred to a new location.

If we send you any notice (such as a request for evidence), please read the notice carefully and follow the instructions provided.

If you move while your case is pending, you must inform USCIS of your address change. You may do so online or by calling the NCSC. It is important that you notify us of any address change as soon as possible, so that you continue to receive notifications from USCIS.

Therefore, in order to track the progress of these transfers and to keep statistics on their effectiveness (or at least try to) let's open a new thread solely for that purpose.

So. If you've been transferred, please post here with your NOA1 date and the date that your transfer was effective. Naturally, please post when you receive any further progress on your petition to include RFEs and obviously your NOA2. If we can keep the information in one thread it will be more effective and helpful to all of us because we will be able to monitor the progress of these transfers and gauge our own progress against that of others who have also been transferred.

Clearly no one has been transferred today, since it will begin tomorrow. But we'll kick off the thread today anyway to prepare. Here's hoping that the awareness we've all raised during the past few months will pay dividends to TSC filers who've been waiting by balancing the processing times with the CSC. And hopefully that will have a longer term effect than the previous round of transfers last August. All of that is TBD, but we're glad that some folk might indeed be helped by all of this!

Let us know about your transfer and keep everyone apprised of its progress! Thanks!

Are you sure this is about TSC Filers ?! Because it says " USCIS recently began transferring some Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, cases filed by lawful permanent residents for their eligible family members from the Vermont Service Center to the California Service Center. "

I wish you are right but I don't understand why it says from the Vermont Service Center though ??? :wacko:

Portuguese birth certificate must be translated to Engilsh (but submit both).

You need police certificates from countries you resided for more than 6 months since age 16,

so just French police certificate (with English translation as well) should be sufficient.

Thank you so much !! One less thing to worry about lol

It's so great to have some help in this journey

Hello everyone ! So this is my first topic and the situation is :

Thank you everyone for the help !! I'm totally lost in this terrible journey we all go through

Je t'ai scanne le document que j'ai recu pour le paquet 3 ca te donnera une idee, desole pour la qualite, c'est surtout pour avoir une idee.

Bon courage!

Bonjour !

Merci pour cet aperçu de la liste du Packet 3, nous avons enfin une idée de ce qu'ils nous demandent et nous pouvons commencer à rassembler les papiers grâce à vous ! Par contre je me pose une question dont vous auriez peut-etre la réponse.. Je vois qu'ils ne demandent aucun papier concernant l'affidavit of support et tout ce qui concerne les taxes et revenus, est-ce normal ?! J'avais cru comprendre qu'ils les nous demandaient pour l'interview.

Merci pour vos réponses
