Not a great news

Hey gogi274

Transfer is not really a great news as it involves a lot of waiting when it comes to NY local office.
FYI mine RD 01/10/03 transferred on 07/19/04 to local NY and waiting forever. I found out it takes quite some time like 6-9 months for an interview to be scheduled. I hope it is not true. I wish it happens sooner than that.

All the best to you

Hi Guys,

Sorry to hear this transfer news. I wish you all speedy approval. I am wondering what really is the reason for INS to transfer the cases to the local office??

Appreciate for your feedback
