My online status check gave me the following new message
"On November 04, 2002, we transferred your I485 APPLICATION TO ADJUST TO PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS to another INS office for them to schedule and conduct your interview. Scheduling can take several months. That office will notify you when they schedule your interview or take other action on your case."

I was hoping that it would be approved sometime this month. But this was a setback. Please suggest ... How long will the approval process be delayed. How do I find out what is the current waiting time at the local INS office.

thanks
 
Good Luck!!!

Can you please share your GC Details. Which state you belong to??

Good Luck for your interview process.
 
My case has been transferred to Charlotte Office. Does anyone know about the waiting times at Charlotte. How do I find out the waiting times? Please advise.

thanks

Please let me know if you need any more info.
 
Was yours an NIW (national intrerest waiver) case? If so, did your employment letter also described your job-duties?

If the above is not applicable and if your case was EB-2 or EB-3, did you change employers?

Just trying to figure out probable cause for transfer.

Thanks.

dengdeng, why do you say using AP during 485 waiting period may cause a RFE? any examples or reasons?
 
Transfer

Hi MSR01

Glad to know that I am not alone. I will keep you posted as soon I hear something.
I have heard that the local INS office goes through a cycle where in each month they work on one type of cases for ex .. Nov maybe for 485 and the next month for the refugees..etc. Couldn't get any concrete info. on it.

thanks
 
I heard from friends that if you leave the country during the time of waiting, then they give you an interview to make sure you're the right person. Since someone else has your AP can sneak into the country, right?

A certain (small) percentage of files are picked up at RANDOM and transferred to local office for statistical reasons (to maintain integrity of the whole asinine process).

You just happen to be blessed with Bad Karma.
