Who has more power? a congressman or a ombudsman?
Hi everybody! I have filled my application for work authorization and I-485 more than 145 days ago. I contacted my congressman(Texas) a month ago and a week after that I got an RFE(USCIS lost some of my documents so I had to send them again). My congressman says that she can't contact USCIS within 30-45 days after they got my RFE back - they got it within a week after I got RFE from them. So, I contacted the ombudsman 3 days ago. Today I got an email from him saying that he made an inquiry about my case. Does ombudsman have more power than a congressman? If so, how long on average should I wait till I hear something from USCIS?

Case Transferred And New Office Has Jurisdiction
Logged into my wife's USCIS account today and found it had the following update:

Case Transferred And New Office Has Jurisdiction
On February 8, 2018, your Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization , Receipt Number WAC YYYY YYYY XX, 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 March 10, 2018, 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.

I'm not sure what to make of this update? I'm assuming they do this to help increase the efficiency of the workload/processing? Has anyone else experienced this & can some shed some light on what the next steps normally are following a status change like this?

Thanks in advance!

New Card Being Produced means nothing.
Hello guys, just to update every one... i have had my new card being produced since the begining of nov 2017 and still it says new card being produced as of feb 8 2018. my attorney have done a SR and only update given to him is that it will take time. I already recieved my EAD approval letter in the mail but never got the actual Card. My case is with Vermont.
