Case transferred notice
EB1A, India
PD: 09/17
Just received a notice in the mail stating, case transferred from Nebraska to NBC for I-485.
Anyone else has their case transferred? What does this imply?
Thanks in advance!

EB1C 485 anniversary celebrations
I filed 485 on 19 January 2017
No update since then. Hope this information will most of the people in this forum, who is worrying about their time line.
I don’t know what to do .., I am almost certain that they put my application in trash...
raised SR ...not helped so far ... any advice? Can I file a new 485 ?

Ready to file I-485, but I have three questions
Hi everyone,
I have an approved I-140 in the EB2 category and I'm about to file I-485, I-765, and I-131 for me and my wife who was admitted on H4. I'd appreciate it if you could share your thoughts about the questions below:
1- I am the beneficiary of the I-140 and my wife will be the derivative applicant. Will my wife's category also be employment-based? I am almost certain this is the case, but some confirmation on this would be reassuring.
2- The "evidence of financial support" section in the I-485 instructions pdf file is vague. Do we need to submit an I-864 for my wife? The only case for employment-based cases where I-864 is necessary is when you have ownership in the business that employed you. Neither of us have any ownership in the business that has employed me. So should we just forget about the I-864? It feels like I'm her sponsor and that I should provide something to show that, but the I-864 instructions do not suggest that we should use it. Maybe showing that I have a job and a salary above poverty line suffices?
3- I am submitting all my pay stubs since employment for about 1.5 years plus a letter from the employer and the I-485 supplement J. Do I need any more financial evidence, like bank statements? The reason I'm asking is that I haven't been able to save much. Otherwise, I would've erred on the side of safety and sent my bank statement.
I really couldn't afford an attorney; so I'd appreciate it if you kindly shared your thoughts and experience on these issues with me.

Question Regarding Supplement J Form
Hi All,
I got a Supplement J Form RFE in mail today. I never changed my job since the beginning (PERM, I-140, I-485). My I-140 was filed and approved in 2015. There are two fields in Supplement J Form asking for Gross and Net Annual Income of the company. Since there were the same two fields in I-140 Form, should I enter the same numbers as the I-140 Form 3 years ago, or should I enter the most recent information?
Thank you.

Green card through Marriage
Hello!
I would like to share my experience of doing the paper work for my husband’s immigration for green Card. (he was not in US during this whole time ) I sent all the required documents to USCIS.
I did paper marriage in 08/2015 and filled for his immigration in 04/2016.
I waited for this long because I myself was a green card holder and I wanted to apply for citizenship. I applied for my citizenship in 04/2016. So both the process started almost together.
I heard back from USCIS on 09/2016 that the paperwork is approved and the case is moved to NVC. And because I’m a green card holder I’m in queue until it’s my turn ( for green card holders the time frame is anywhere between 1.5-2 years)
In 01/2017 I got my US citizenship. The same day I called NVC and informed them about my status change. They asked me to send them my naturalization form in the form of email. One week later they informed me that my case is open. And I can start the 6 steps process. I and my husband then started it by paying the fee and filling out forms DS-260. We then collected all the financial documents, made a packet and send everything as directed to NVC.
I haven’t heard back from USCIS till April. I went to overseas in 04/2017 due to some personal reasons.
Anyways we kept calling NVC and finally in 06/2017 they told us that we are missing the police certificate of my husband. And the one we sent is wrong police certificate. ( it’s one of the document from the list of documents you send to NVC). Me and my husband clearly remembered that we had sent 2 police certificates because the country my husband lives in had 2 different kinds. In case they accept only one. But NVC insisted that that they don’t have the correct one. We insisted and told them even if we send it again it would be the same document. They said we can wait for the supervisor to look into the documents again but this will take 2 weeks. We said ok we will wait for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks we called them again and were told the same thing.
In 07/2017 We sent the SAME DOCUMENT again (NVC always takes 4-6 weeks in processing your documents regardless of if it’s a whole packet of documents or just one document) and started waiting for their decision. We haven’t heard back from them till August. So we decided to call them again. Luckily this representative we spoke to was extremely good and he suggested us that we can EXPEDITE the process. He explained us the procedure. ( it’s writing an email explains why you want to expedite) we explained our problems. The expedite request was accepted in a week. My husband did his Medical in August and got an interview call in September, the 2nd week of September he gave his interview and after ONE day he got his visa.
By sharing this whole story I wanted to inform people of my experience and on top of everything I want to share THE EXPEDITE process. People don’t know this thing, so please if you want your case to be processed fast, just ask them to expedite it as soon as it’s transfers to NVC.
Thanks

Nebraska eb-2 October 2016 I-485
Are there any people out there from October 2016 RD?
Uscis website still says “finger printing fee received”
Recent SR resulted in an answer “case is pre-adjudicated waiting for I-140 approval and visa number”
My I-140 was approved in November 2016 on premium processing and my charegiability is ROW which is current.
Not sure what to make of this?

Any advice will help.
