> On December 3, 2014, we transferred your Form I130,
> IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN,
> Receipt Number MSC1391738747, to another USCIS office. That
> office now has jurisdiction over your case. We sent you a
> notice that explains why we moved your case. Please follow
> the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your
> notice by January 2, 2015, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request
> to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange
> to give us your new mailing address.

> During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of
> the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need
> to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the
> applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or
> documentation. USCIS reviews the
> applicant's/petitioner's criminal history,
> determines if there are national security concerns that need
> to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for
> fraud indicators.

> If you have filed an I-485, I-589, I-751, N-400, I-90,
> I-821, I-131 or I-765, you can expect to receive an
> appointment notice to appear at an Application Support
> Center to have your fingerprints and/or photographs taken.
> The timing of your appointment is determined by the number
> of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric
> appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as
> quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your
> appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your
> application. We will send your appointment notice
> approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment.
> It is important that you keep this appointment. If
> absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment
> be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling
> may delay the processing of your application. Please follow
> the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to
> reschedule. Occasionally, you may receive an appointment
> notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have
> your fingerprints taken when you have filed a form other
> than those listed above. In these situations, you may
> receive your appointment notice more than 30 days after
> submitting your application or petition.
