Multiple 485s: Marriage Based 485 application while Employement Based 485 is Pending

resident... we had withdrawn it at the interview (not infopass)
grg2005... the tx SC's email address is TSC.Ncscfollowup@dhs.gov (make sure to put "I 485 unit" in the subject line)
and when the officer told us that we can withdraw the eb file, we decided to go ahead with it at the interview itself...
resident, why don't u contact ur service center... if it's at nebraska, then u just change the tsc to nsc i think... but u may wanna double check that... i got this address from the officer when i called the 1800 number... and also, contacting your congress person REALLY does help... i just got a letter from my senator's office requesting signature on a release form and his receipt number... i'm thinking i will wait till monday, if i don't hear anything from atlanta office (or online) then i will sign that and send it back to senator's office and get their help in getting this case moving... u have been waiting over six months now... u def r entitled to expediting your case...

You can only use the followup email address if you had opened a request and its been pending for 30 days, I know this because I had used it and got a reply from USCIS IO saying so. However the TSC has an email address for requesting tranfers, that is EBUPDATE.Tsc@dhs.gov, make sure you write Transfer on the subject line.

Thanks. All your trial and errors with USCIS processes would help future applicants. It is rather surprising to know that USCIS is actually monitoring these email addresses and responding to requests.
 
I wrote to TSC 2-3 weeks back regarding the transfer of my case to the Columbus, OH (local office). Got an email yesterday from USCIS
"On July 1, 2010, we transferred this case I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS to our COLUMBUS, NM location for processing and sent you a notice explaining this action. Please follow any instructions provided on the notice. We will notify you by mail when a decision is made. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283."

Please note the message says : It says Columbus, NM (New Mexico). I called USCIS and they told it should be Columbus, OH and NM is a typo - Columbus, NM is a small village and there is no USCIS office in that state of NM.

Hi all,
Emailed TSC's EB update on 7/1/2010. Got a read receipt today: 7/8/2010.
Not sure, if/when/where they will transfer my EB case file. Will keep you guys posted.
 
Hello all... an update on my husband's case... just received the welcome notice in the mail today :) can't wait to get the card in hand!!! good luck all
 
Update on my case:
I just logged into uscis website to see if there is an update on my case. To my surprise, the LUD on my EB 485 case changed to 7/10/2010. I didn't get any email, so I thought it was just a soft LUD.
But when I clicked on it: it says on July 9, 2010, we transferred this case to Newark, NJ. :)
Will keep you guys posted. Thanks and Good luck everybody!!!

A special Thanks to TKD and citizenship2009 for providing the email addresses to contact TSC!!!
 
USCIS is funny. Last week, my online status was "The Case has been transferred to Columbus, NM" - my request to them was to transfer the case to Columbus, OHIO and not New Mexico!

Well, after calling the USCIS service center they informed me that it must be a typo as there is no USCIS office in NM! Anyway, on Friday I got the Notice (the green notice) regarding my case transfer and in it is written that my case has been transferred to Columbus, MN!! The address mentioned was some weird address. Called USCIS again and was fortunate enough to get transferred to a Immigration Officer. I explained him my situation and he apologized for the troubles. He looked at my case and told me everything looks okay (that I have two pending I-485) and in his system it mentions that the case has been transferred to Columbus, Ohio! :)
 
Resident, you just have to 'love' USCIS! After hearing that my file was transferred to NBC and not Baltimore, I kept calling and calling and ofcourse the first level folks just could not understand all the 'nonsense' I was talking about and always transferred me to the IOs, who were not always nice till I got one earlier today, who was from heaven! she told me that my file has been transferred to Baltimore last week (but ofcourse I never got a notice of that transfer)... in anycase, I have got an infopass appt this week (New Id, i suggest you do same to go to Newark)...when they see me, hopefully they will do what needs to be done asap!
All the best everyone, it looks like we are getting there slowly but surely!
 
Thanks TKD, Since my EB case just got transferred. I am guessing, I would wait for a week or 2 before making an infopass appt in Newark, NJ.
I just logged into uscis again, the LUD on EB case changed to 7/12/2010 from 7/10/2010 in the last 1 hour. Not sure, what they are doing to my EB case. (I withdrew this case at the interview)

Who knows what they are doing? laugh...
I meant you should get a future date for infopass... Newark is obviouly better than Baltimore, they probably wont be updating anything on the system so I have to go there to ask whats going on. I had reserved this date since two weeks ago just incase I had not heard from them.
 
Congrats Newid, resident n TKD... we're all moving along.. that's great news... hopefully we'll all feel the GREEN in our hands very soon...
