H4 to F1 case trasferred from Vermont to California

[rcha_banerjee]

Hi ,
I applied for the change of status from H4 to F1 on 4th Nov 2008.Within two weeks of application, I received the receipt number in US mail. However until yesterday, 21st Jan 2009 I was not getting a status update in USCIS website about my case.Today the first update that I got from the website, states that my case has been transferred to California Service Center(CSC) from Vermont Service Center, because it is under the jurisdiction of CSC.
I reside in Maryland, and going to school in Maryland.

I was wondering what could be the reason for this transfer.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

No,nothing.No update or LUD.I am still waiting.I have no valid reason to expadite my case. So I am not trying. You can find the process in USCIS website or just Google it.
