EB2-EB3 downgrade application
PD: 5/18/2011
RD: 10/28/2020
Biometric: 3/19
140 approved in PP on 7/7
EAD/AP pending (spouse ead/app approved thru expedite processing)
485 transferred to NBC on 7/23
485 transferred back to Nebraska on 7/28
Anyone has clue what this means? Any reason to transfer back and forth between centers?
Congratulations TD !!! This is such a great news. For me the tool doesn't allow me to open SR as my ND is 11/04 and case processing times at LIN are 11 - 17 months for I-485 EB.Originally Posted by Turbulent_Dragonfly

Hi,
Does anyone in this group attended an interview for I-485? If so what are the expected questions during the interview? I have an interview scheduled for Aug 9th

Yeah looks like they have now put in a new check for SR based on processing times. You could still contact a Congressional rep to see if they can help. Be sure to explain to them how impractical the processing times are for raising a SR.

Based on reading others? experiences, it usually is to confirm the job offer and confirming duties and responsibilities if AC21 was used. They can also verify your birth/marriage bonafides so take the birth/marriage certificates that was submitted. Of course if there has been any criminal or other legal issues, hopefully those are sorted out before then. You can also take the medicals to the interview if you did not submit one and did not get an RFE. You could also be asked for proof of continual status so make sure you take a copy of all I-94s, I20s and I797s. Don?t put too much pressure on yourself or spouse and go in cool and confident as it should be just a formality.

Looking at the critical situation, it may be best to consult an independent attorney. Also lets see what the Guru's have to say on Monday or so.
Happy Friday folks..
Just wanted to highlight the awesome insight/wisdom some of the members have here. Few months back some of you repeatedly suggested to include medicals with 485 applications, and also predicted that not including medicals will increase wastage of visa. All coming true now.
I also saw suggestions for interfiling medical, I think it makes sense more now. USCIS seemed to have sent bulk message today to send medicals soon on receiving the.
I heard the same from a couple of my colleagues, Is the text or email is being sent only for those BM complete and PD is current ? or just being PD current is the criteria?
SRC; EB2 -> EB3; I-140 approved ; PD 06/2013; RD 11/05/2020; BM -- Sep '2021; EAD 03/22; I-485 Xferr NBC -- 04/25
I got the text message today. My status is EB3 downgrade, I-140 approved, BM done. I did send medical interfile request that reached USCIS on 7/22 but not sure if they will process that. I read from track-it thread that for a couple of ROW EB filers status changed to "RFE sent". But at this point there is no conclusive evidence. Personally for me, my status is stuck at the Notice State (Fingerprint Fee was received) due to bug in USCIS system (I know it's same for a few others who got their BM done this month).

Congratulations!!! That?s good news !
Friends,
My l-485 case last update was 7/28 and 7/29 case approved both times, after that I did not receive any COP and or card is mailed any advise?
Hi Guys, my I-485 case status now shows as
We are ready to schedule your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status, Receipt Number xxxxx, for an interview. We will schedule your interview and send you a notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice..."
Does that mean , that my case has been selected for interview and will be called in?

Should happen soon. I first got card production update on Thu and then yesterday my I-485 and I-485Js got approved along with my wife?s I-485. It should ship out on Mon or Tue depending on backlog for that. So yours should also follow the same steps.

Yeah that?s correct. Hopefully the interview will just be a formality but organize and take all documentation.
GC Approved 7/29/2021
Thank you ! I will be doing just that. Hopefully the interfile works and we don't waste another 1 1/2 months waiting and responding to primary RFE .

Hi,
Today, I noticed that my I-765 application is showing "concurrent filing" on top of the case status in the myuscis account. I had not seen "concurrent filing" status before. I have not filed a concurrent application. My I-140 was already approved a few years back. I had filed my I-1485 application in Oct'20 and my I-765/I131 application in Jan'21. I-485 application is showing that fingerprints are completed. But I-485 is not an IOE application. So, it does not show all details in the myuscis account.
Has anyone seen this or had any idea what it could be? Is it an error and do I need to check with USCIS?
Waiting4GC - May be case updated by mistake, better to check with USCIS . Chatting with EMMA is the best and fastest option. Here is the trick to get live agent immediately
- keep typing "technical difficulties"
-after 3 times you see options to connect to live agent
- choose don't have a receipt number. that's it
I got the SSN today for dependents, 4 weeks after EAD approval.

Friends, I received the approval notice I-797 for EAD and AP today for both me and my spouse. Any guess how long it is taking to get green card in hand?

Gurus,
Please provide your inputs. She came to this country on H4 visa. She also worked on L2 EAD then moved to H1. Appreciate your inputs and needful advice.
It will depend on the notice date. There are some threads on telegram where they sit and chart trends around receipt numbers which correlate to notice dates generally. There were a very large number of applications in the last couple of weeks of Oct into Nov so you may need to be patient. Some people have gotten fortunate in their file being picked up and getting approved.

Thanks!
I have been in the country for 15.5 years (wait in Q for about 10 years)... few more months wait won't make a difference. I just wanna get it over with. I do not know how I will react with GC in hand.
However today having the EAD approvals today... did not mean much... there was not even a second where i stopped to ponder what just happened. Few years ago, my family would be rejoicing for days/weeks/months if we got our EAD.
This wait has left a very bad taste about GC and now it has become like this necessity that we do not care about anymore.
(Fortunately I did not put my life on hold - changed jobs, bought several homes, blessed with wonderful family, lived like normal citizens do except for vote).
Sorry for the vent!

Hello Gurus,
My PD is Jul 2011, and applied for EAD/GC in Oct'2020. My application went to Nebraska service Center, and the applications of my Spouse and dependent went to MSC - National Benefits Service Center. However, my spouse's application was rejected due to some missing pages in the application. Our attorney's resent her application in April'2021, and recently her biometrics got scheduled for next week. In the meantime the Biometrics for my dependent and I were completed in May. My dependents application has now been transferred to Nebraska Service Center. Recently my I-140 got approved through premium processing. Can someone suggest if having applications in different service centers causes any issues/delays? Do, I need to wait for my spouse's application to be transferred to Nebraska before we can send the medicals for all of us?
Thanks in Advance

I got Canadian PR as a backup a couple of years ago and was all set on going there next year until the spillover happened this year. Then I decided I would prefer to give up Canadian PR and stay here since most of my life has been here. Then I learned about processing backlog and how I might not get GC at all and spillover might be wasted. Ultimately I'd be happy if I get the GC this year and I will stay here, but some days I wonder if I want to stay in a country where I have to beg for GC like this after living here for 15 years instead of going to a country like Canada that welcomes immigrants and where I could have been a citizen by next year and where they just extended work auth for all applicants waiting for PR unlike the idiots here who can't even issue stupid EADs.
