USCIS Begins Transferring Some Casework From Vermont to California

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently began transferring some casework from the Vermont Service Center to the California Service Center to balance workloads. Affected casework so far includes Form I-751, Petition to Remove the Conditions of Residence, for certain marriage-related green card cases.

USCIS will send transfer notices to those affected. The original receipt number will not change and the transfer will not delay processing, USCIS said. The words “Case Type: CRI89 Approved Removal of Conditions” will be printed on the transfer notices. USCIS said that the notice may not contain the receipt number of the pending I-751. Those receiving any notice should respond to the service center that sent them the notice.

Those who do not receive a decision within the published processing time for the California Service Center may submit an inquiry using e-Request or call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283. For TDD (hearing-impaired) assistance, please call 1-800-767-1833.
