Asylum Based i-485

[Nick213]

I just have never heard that it happens. Did you call them to find out what's going on with your case? I feel that we are still in a totally normal timeline....

Yes, I called them to find my current status and that's when they told me about the field office status.

Thanks for your response if anything changed will update .....

Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS

Your Case Status: Initial Review

On March 5, 2019, your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS, Receipt Number , was transferred 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 April 4, 2019, 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.

It means they intend to reject your I-485 application, but somehow still want to give you a glimmer of hope by allowing you to make a convincing case/defense of why you should get a Green Card. Whatever it is, it's not a good sign, and you must treat it as such. If they want to grant it to you, they would have just granted it, not transfer it to another office for deeper scrutiny.

Sorry to hear that.

Probably in good manner...

Case Was Received At My Local Office ........today it was updated

I had the same status for 7 month the only thing they mail me that my case was transferred from one service center to another. This February case status changed to ? your case was transferred and a new office has jurisdiction over your case?. It?s very hard to understand there messages. The only thing I trust is the letters that sent by MAIL. This is the only proof. Wish you all the best and keep us updated please.

Hello guys,

My I-485 has the same story.

- Applied July 2018 (Nebraska office)
- Fingerprints October 2018
- Case transferred from Nebraska to Texas. March 2019

I wouldn't say that this is a bad sign, even in the mail it says it is a normal practice to regulate a workload. And I see a lot of people with the same status here. So I wouldn't be so worried too much.
The one thing I'm worried about is "Priority Date" is not assigned, this field in the mail is blank.

I will keep you guys posted about any updates.

Good luck to everyone.

For me it?s almost a year ( in 2 weeks) . Still waiting no change. My medical form expires next week. If I would know it will take that long I would not do this medical for. Could save a lot of money. But still positive. Waiting .

Did you ask USCIS why does it take so long?

[Sabinan]

Did you ask USCIS why does it take so long?

Yes. They told me I?m still in my processing time ( case in Texas service center) now they processing for July 2017 which is 8 month away from my receipt day. And last time level 2 officer told me that now in order to get GC you need pass interview even if it?s asylum based GC. I don?t think it?s make sense because I have seen a lot of people who got GC without it. So I?m waiting

Oh, thats not true A lot of people that I know got a green card in the last year and noone had an interview. Interview required if he'she is a relative of a main applicant and was not originally included in the case

Good luck to you though! I want you to get your card as soon as possible!

Update on my case
I asked here for help few weeks ago. I want to update you on what happened and share my timeline with you. I applied with Texas service center.
Jan 2017 asylum was approved
Jan 2018 applied for Green card
3/9/2019 Recieved request for intial evidence in the mail
[ missing address on I485 and inquiry about the public assitance I received in the past as I forgot to mention it in the original form] . I did not fill another form. I did not ask a lawyer. But, I called the customer service and they transfered me to level 2 officer who told me not to fill another form and just answer the questions. So, I just wrote a cover letter.
3/14/2019 sent the response to the USCIS
3/16/2019 Response was delivered according to the USPS
3/27/2019 Status update online. New card is produced
