I-485 - Case was transferred to a new jurisdiction

[shiva_82]

When was ur 485 applied? Mine was on 10/18 at nbc and moved to Nebraska on 12/21 for speedy processing. Got ead and ap for self and family in april’22. Now waiting for transfer from Nebraska to nbc. The trend I hear from ppl is 2 weeks. Let’s see fingers crossed. At least we crossed a big milestone of 140. If u know more details plz share too.

Priyapandian Good to know that your I140 was approved last week. I haven't submitted my medicals and I was waiting for the RFE to get our medicals done. May be I'll consider getting my doctor appointment soon. I didn't know typically when I could expect my 485 to be moved back to NBC. My 485 was filed in May 2021 in NBC (MSC). It was moved from NBC to Nebraska in Jun 2021 to speed up processing. I got EAD AP for me and my family in Dec 2021. I'm just hoping that I get my GC in the next couple of months. Fingers crossed. Please do share any updates from your end as well.

shiva_82 Congrats on your 140 approval. Big milestone achieved and it’s a relief. My 140 got approved last week too and waiting for next steps now. Did u get your medicals done? My attorney told to get the file ready for self and family. Wait for rfe to send the file. We booked our appointment for medical next week too. Maybe you can consider getting ur medicals done too.

After 20 months of waiting including a 4 month wait after submitting a RFE response, my I-140 was finally approved today. It is such a relief. My 485 had been transferred from NBC to LIN last year for speeding up processing, hopefully they will transfer it back so I could get my GC at the earliest. Regardless, it is definitely such a relief that my I140 got approved!

Thanks to all the good hearted folks in this community who have been so supportive, encouraging and helpful. Thanks for all your kind words.

Today will be 1 year since my file was transferred from NBC to Nebraska and 15 months since it was applied
No information whatsoever!
Based on the timelines of my Field office, it is 16 months and Nebraska is 18 months. I m not sure if i will have to wait until 18 months.

Good luck to us waiting approval, hopefully v get things settled in soon. Btw did u file Medicals along with 485?

Actually, I did not. It was based on my lawyer's recommendation. So my 485 is not documentarily complete.

shiva_82 , Don't worry I have been observing patterns of 140 RFE and the response from USCIS after 3 months with a straight approval of 140. Just hold on its just matter of time for you in next few weeks. Am confident given your profile its pretty straight case.
I have my 140 pending state still since 27th July'21 with Nebraska. State has not changed from "case is received". Been close to 13 months but holding on to it. Many of my coworkers who applied in April and May of 2022 got their 140 approved in less than 3 months. It certainly brings in anxiety but am sure the application must get us the result anyhow.
I think USCIS is having some strategy in the recent few weeks to get GC EAD and AP approved for some cases in 2021 and 485 for applications from 2021 since its closer to Spe'21 and they have to use the visa. Am sure the next batch of processing will be focussed on 140. Once after 140 it might just be few weeks to months away to get GC.

Priyapandian Thanks for the note. It helps ease some anxiety. I just hope that they look at pending 140s for all cases where there is a visa number readily available. I've seen in one of the USCIS links state that they can also approve both the 140 and 485 together, if a visa number is readily available and the 485 is documentarily complete. Fingers crossed and all the best to you too.
