There are no "trends" when an app is transferred to LA. The transfer means that IRCC has concerns with your application and will likely call you for an interview.

Agreed with Canuck, all US cases are fully processed at Ottawa, unless an interview is required, then those cases will be transferred to their respectful US local VOs.

Yes, even for outland. The thing is that having children and length of your marriage are positive factors, but not decisive factors towards the genuine of your marriage or the eligibility of your sponsorship, in the eyes of CIC.

The possible interview can be anything in your application that somehow triggered it.

What you can do is to order the case notes, usually it will take a month to receive them. It is not necessary to hire a lawyer yet.
Regarding how to order your case notes, hope that the senior members of this forum can pitch in.

A lawyer can't get any more information than you can yourself by applying for GCMS notes. Any red flags? Relationship discrepancies? Criminal issues?

I'm not sure it came up in my FBI report, it was supposed to be "expunged" from all other records so i wasn't sure if i had to or not..
You're misunderstanding the question. Did you tell CIC from the beginning about this charge? Because on Schedule A they clearly ask if you have ever been convicted of a crime, or been charged, etc. If you did not tell them, it can be considered as misrepresentation. It would be natural to ask for an interview and/or have concerns about your case in regards of the crime, since it looks like it came out in their background checks and not actually from you.
