I think a lot of cases were transferred back to service center from NY and DC local offices (maybe also Boston), look in their threads...i think, most such cases were approved in couple of months after such 'back' transfer...buzzhd said:for further processing? Are they any adavantages for processing in Serivce Center than in local district office? Does service center have more control or power over the case than local office? Do they share the same review/approval power for immigration case?
