Errors on TSC I-130 Transfer Notices Posted Dec 06, 2002 The Missouri Service Center (MSC) has advised that an error was made in the wording of certain I-130 transfer notices in December 2002. The I-130s in question were transferred from the Texas Service Center (TSC) to MSC for adjudication. The reason for the transfer was that MSC had some excess capacity, due to a slow-down in a particular type of case that is designated for filing with that center. Given this excess capacity, MSC offered to assist other service centers with backlogs in I-130s. TSC was the first center to transfer I-130 cases. When TSC transferred the cases to the MSC, the wrong wording was used in the text. The transfer notices advised that the cases had been transferred and that the applicant would be notified of the interview appointment. This language is typically used only when cases are transferred from the Service Center to an INS local District Office for an interview. When a case is transferred instead from one Service Center to another, the notice should not mention an interview. Rather, it would usually state that the case has been transferred to a different center for efficiency reasons. TSC will be sending letters to the petitioners to correct the error. Texas applicants will not have to travel to Missouri for interviews. © The Law Office of Sheela Murthy, P.C.
