On February 8, USCIS posted a notification regarding the delay in processing of approximately 36,000 immediate relative petitions (that would be for American citizens filing for their spouse, their parents, or their minor children) that were transferred from the California Service Center to the Texas Service Center, ironically because USCIS thought that Texas could process them faster. In fact, the opposite happened and so, in that February 8 notification, USCIS advised that some cases were transferred back to the California Service Center to take advantage of currently available resources.
The following update is provided as of February 14, 2011, and reflects the number of cases in this group that have been processed to date by the Texas Service Center and the California Service Center.
Approved: 10,264
Denied: 55
Request for Evidence/Intent to Deny: 4137
Referred to District Office for Interview: 408
If you have filed a family petition that has been delayed, or if in fact if you have filed any type of immigration application that is currently pending, you can monitor the progress of your case by accessing My Case Status online on the USCIS official website at www.uscis.gov. If you do not see any action on your case, such as an approval, denial or an RFE, by March 1, 2011 you should contact a legal representative to make a formal inquiry with USCIS. Please note that you also have the option of contacting your Senator and/or Congressperson in your district. These offices usually have an immigration congressional liaison who can intercede on your behalf and find out what happened to your case and in many cases, obtain your approval notice without further delay.
