I-485 - Case was transferred to a new jurisdiction

[shiva_82]

Hi! I'm new in this forum - What do you mean they won't issue any more GCs this year? I sent my medicals i693 to the Arizona field office on August 15, 2022 for the FY 2022 as the receipt notice indicated but I still have not seen any updated status

When I said they won't issue any GCs this year for EB1,2 & 3, I meant no GCs is expected to be issued for these categories until end of Sep. From Oct a new year starts where there will be new visa numbers available for allocation from DHS. If your date would still be current in Oct then you will get your GC. If your date is not current in Oct visa bulletin, then the chances of getting GC until date is current is very very less.

Hope it's clear. Btw, I'm not an attorney, whatever I shared above is based on my research based on USCIS publications and other news.

Yeah, i also got the same ask that if I want my GC this year i sent it asap. I sent it on Aug 29th. I am really hoping we get soon.

What is your category, country of birth and priority date?

shiva_82 India is the country. My filing date is July,21 under EB1 current and we have received everything else from USICS.. We got the letter for Medical on Aug 19 that if we want the GC send the i-693 immediately. So I am hoping they would still. Where did you find out that they are not issuing any more? Any article?

I believe USCIS had responded to a law suit where this information was shared, shortly before the Oct visa bulletin was published. Unless they have already blocked some visa numbers, you might have to wait until Oct to get your GC. Just my understanding. Good news is that considering EB1 is current, you would get fresh visa numbers in Oct so you should get it in Oct. All the best.

Thanks for the information Shiva. I really hope we get by October.

Thanks for the information Shiva. I really hope we get by October.

My filing date is May'21 but I am still waiting for my case to be transferred to NBC. It was originally in NBC and then had transferred it to Nebraska only to be transferred back to NBC..! I don't understand the logic based on which they operate. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I should get my GC before EB1 retrogresses.

Ohh yeah i wonder why they are transferring to and fro. Honestly with USCIS, you just never know what they are upto. They just surprise you. Their customer care also sucks. These days made it really hard to get to the actual person. Let's just hope for the best. All the best to you and hopefully you get it soon too.

It will be 16 month since I485 has been filed, 13 months since transfer, 12 months since I140 approval.
Sometimes, I tend to check my I140 status also to see if it stays under approval or whether it moved back to some other status that i m not aware of

NBC timelines is 16.5 months and Nebraska is 18 months.. So i m inside the bracket of both centers. Not sure if there is any ray of hope.

That's bad. When you say transfer, is your case now with Nebraska or NBC? My case was transferred from NBC to Nebraska last June. I'm still waiting for it to be transferred back. I don't know on what basis they process cases. Did you speak to them or through Emma? Also, have you already submitted your medicals along with your 485 or later?

Have you got your EAD and AP?

The case was transferred from NBC to Nebraska on Aug 2021.
Yes, got EAD/AP on Dec 2021.
Medical was not filed along with initial application.. thinking of doing interfiling.
No chat with Emma, i dont think it will be fruitful by any means as they always gives links to standard USCIS links which we all are aware of.

Ok. My timelines are pretty much similar. Let me know how it goes after you interfile medicals. Now USCIS is not even willing to talk because there are no visa numbers available for EB1, 2 & 3.

Thanks rln8316 I received the same update today too. I have not submitted my medicals but I'm thinking about scheduling a doctor appointment for getting the medicals. Hopefully will get my medical RFE soon enough. Fingers crossed.

Good to hear!!! Based on Hilites today, they have transferred 1.5k MSC cases yesterday. It seems they are transferring all of 2021 and prior cases out of NSC/TSC. Lets see how close we are now.
