Case Transferred to another office
Hey guys,

I sent my i-131 (Advance Parole, AP), i-765 (Work Permit, EAD) & i-485 (Adjustment of Status, AOS) all at the same time in the same package and these were all received and began processing on December 17th. My timeline so far looks like this.

01/04 - 2 letters received stating that forms AP & EAD have been received, no mention of EAD
01/07 - Raised a service request to find out about missing EAD
01/20 - Received letter informing me of USCIS mistake (little victory) and that my EAD will be backdated to 12/17 with my receipt number.
01/19 - Informed biometrics for AOS are to be taken on 01/28
01/28 - Fingerprints for AOS taken
01/29 - Informed biometrics for EAD are to be taken on 02/11
02/01 - Email received stating the case status for my EAD has changed to "Case Transferred to another Office"

Couple questions, is it normal for me to give my biometrics twice? I find it odd that I have to go back to the same place exactly 2 weeks after giving them my fingerprints already. Also, what does it mean that my case has been transferred to another office? Will that slow down my work permit?

Any comments are greatly appreciated, I know a lot of us are in the same position.
