I-485 - Case was transferred to a new jurisdiction

[melbin1982]

Anyone got i485J receipt in between? As I said before, I applied i485 last year October end. But still my GC card is pending without any updates. Same time, all of my colleagues got approval.

[melbin1982]

Anyone else seen this in their case? I am trying to understand in what cases the case gets transferred (as in this case it doesn't appear to be due to workload) and typically what next steps one sees after the transfer. Thanks again!

Any update on your case after?

[rmath]

Interestingly, yes. The I-140 was pending in those cases as well. So I can't understand how USCIS works.

yes - that's strange then. I'm very thrilled.. At least the 3 of us in this thread have applied in the same timeline.

Finally, my biometrics is scheduled for later this month. Can I expect to get my EAD in a month or so from biometrics date? My I-140 is still pending btw.

[rmath]

Congratulations, Shiva. For my friend, it took 3 months from the biometric date to get the EAD. Usually it's 180 days from the date of 485.

Same thing happened to me, My Biometric was March 1, got EAD after almost 3 months.
Shiva, Where did they process i765? Is it National Benefit Center - MSC?

Yes, I765 is still with MSC while my I485 got transferred to LIN (Nebraska) where my I140 is.

I don't have any updates to my case..Anyone got any update after?

I don't have any updates to my case..Anyone got any update after?

I just completed by Biometrics. The Biometrics appointment happened 4 months after my 485 + 765 + 131 was filed.

Same is our case too. Filed I-140 in Texas service center in Dec 2020. Received notice 3.5 months later and is still pending. Filed I-485 and EAD on Sept 12th, 2021 to Lewisville lockbox. Received receipts yesterday from MSC. When I checked the status of 485, it says "Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction". I am yet to receive the notice stating why. Will keep you all posted.

Shiva, when was your i140 or 485 submitted? exact date?

Melbin, I haven't heard back anything yet as well.

I-140 - Jan-20; I-485 - May-24

What about yours? In which status are your applications? I am eagerly waiting to get a response on my I-140, without which I believe there would be no progress on the I-485.

Mine is:
1) i140 (Nebraska) - 1/15/2021 - Still in Case Received state.
2) i485 (Moved from California to Nebraska) - 5/27/2021 - don't know where to check. nothing progressed ever since.

I completed my biometrics last week so you should expect to get your biometrics appointment within another week or so. All the best.

As far as I140 is concerned, I believe we don't have any option except wait. My case is in "Case received" status as well.

Today, I-140 processing time in Texas has gone back even more to 2018. No idea why so much backlog in Texas for I-140
