Has anybody's application is being transfered to local?

[GLyding]

I started my GC procss in late 1998 based on EB2, and i had my finger print done in march, 2001. I was expecting to get my GC stamp recenlty. But, unfortunately, i got an aciton notice from the INS office (Vermont center) saying that my application is transfered to local (Nework, NJ) last week. My question is that how long usually I need to wait till i get my interview? and what document i need to prepare for that? I was trying to call teh number on the action notice paper, but the number is not in service, anybody knows the INS number in Nework, NJ? what should I be aware of when i go for the interview? anybody has any experience in Nework, NJ?

Thanks for any input.

hi,

what do you mean

"RFE replied 04/25 180 day rule job changer. Changed after 430 days in I-485 "?

Do you mean that you changed your job after you field your I-485? is this going to be a problem when you go for a interview?

transfer to local office

I met our attorney last week with my friend
who is also in the same boat , but with TSC .

His case is also transferred to Memphis local office to use resources over ther as TSC is filled with truck loads of applications.

As per the Arrorney , once it reaches local office "for Processing", then it should take 30- 60 days, to get approval.

not only 30 to 60 days. It depends on your local INS Office, some take 950 days (for example dallas office). I actually went to the dallas office and spoken with the IIO. I event asked help from the congressman in my region, it failed. They send me a mail with very ruld words.

Good luck to you!

office?

Thanks

The notice said "in order to speed process your case, we have transfered your case to Dallas District Office". I was so excided at the moment. I waited 4 months and nothing happened, so I asked for help from a congressman. He wrote a request of status to Dallas INS Office. Another month later, I received a letter from the congressman's office, inside the letter there was a short memo from the Dallas INS Office.
The memo said:
your notice from TSC said "in order to speed process your case", they lied. It will take us 9xx days to process your case.

It was a terrible experience. I hope your case will be better than mine.
