1. What does it mean when my I-751 case status says transferred?

If your I-751 case status says “transferred,” it means that the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has transferred your case to a different processing center or office. This typically occurs when the initial office where you submitted your petition does not have the resources or capacity to process your case, so it is sent to another office for further processing. Transfers can also happen if your case falls under a specialized category, such as refugee or military spouse cases, and needs to be handled by a specific office. It is important to keep track of any changes in your case status and follow any instructions from USCIS regarding the transfer of your case.

3. How long does it typically take for an I-751 case to be transferred?

The transfer process can vary depending on the USCIS workload and the specific case. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months for an I-751 case to be transferred to a new service center. It is best to check the USCIS website or contact them directly for updates on your specific case’s transfer.

4. Will there be any delays in processing my I-751 now that it has been transferred?

It is possible that there may be some delays in processing your I-751 due to the transfer to a new USCIS office. However, USCIS typically aims to process all applications within a reasonable timeframe and will do their best to minimize any delays. If you have not received any updates on your application within a few months of the transfer, you can contact USCIS for an update on the status of your petition.

5. Do I need to do anything differently now that my I-751 case has been transferred?

No, you do not need to do anything differently. Your case will continue to be processed according to the usual timeline and procedures, regardless of the transfer. If any additional documents or information are needed for your case, you will be notified by USCIS.

6. Can I still check the status of my I-751 after it has been transferred?

It may take longer for your case to be updated due to the transfer, but it should eventually show up in the system. If you have not received any notification about the transfer and it has been more than 30 days since it was transferred, you should reach out to USCIS for an update.

7. Why was my I-751 case transferred?

There could be several reasons why an I-751 case is transferred. One possible reason is that the case was initially filed at a USCIS field office, but was subsequently transferred to a different office for processing. Another potential reason could be that USCIS determined that the original office did not have the capacity or resources to adjudicate the case and therefore transferred it to another location. Additionally, your case may have been transferred if you moved and failed to provide USCIS with updated contact information, resulting in your file being sent to a new office where you currently reside. It is also possible that your case was randomly selected for transfer as part of regular workload balancing efforts by USCIS. If you are unsure why your case was transferred, it is best to contact USCIS directly for more information.

8. Will the transfer have any impact on the outcome of my case?

It is possible that the transfer may have an impact on the outcome of your case. If the new judge has different opinions or approaches to the case, it may result in a different ruling or sentence. However, if the transfer was made solely for administrative reasons and does not change the laws or evidence in your case, it may not have a significant impact on the outcome. Ultimately, it will depend on the specifics of your individual case and how the new judge handles it. It is important to discuss any concerns with your lawyer or legal representative.

9. Can I request a specific USCIS office for the transfer of my I-751 case?

No, USCIS does not allow applicants to request a specific office for the transfer of their I-751 case. The decision for transfer is made by USCIS based on workload and processing times at each location.

It is important to review this notification carefully and follow any directions provided.

12. What happens if my address changes while my I-751 is being processed by the transferring office?

If your address changes while your I-751 is being processed by the transferring office, you must inform both the original USCIS office and the new office of your change of address. You can do this by submitting a change of address request through the USCIS Online Change of Address system or by filing Form AR-11, Alien’s Change of Address Notification, with USCIS. Failure to update your address may result in delays in processing your case and may even lead to a denial if USCIS is unable to contact you for necessary information or documents.
