    I-765 form has been transferred to a different office

    I think usually transfers are aimed in order to quicken EAD processing because of the workload some offices have. They usually transfer to a different office in order to make sure they are on time to issue you an EAD. If I were you, I would contact them as soon as I can because it does not...

    (urgent please) medical insurance for old lady with pending asylum case

    She can contact local Department of Human Services office and most likely they will only give her an emergency insurance. For additional insurance, I think you can buy through the marketplace at healthcare.gov They have different plans with different prices. Hope it helps.
