Hello,
My case is quite similar to your case based out of Columbus OH as well. My case was transfered about 2 months ago to Cincinatti. Further they forwarded all my junk to the local office.
Due to this, my 2nd EAD application was also forwarded to the local office, I picked up my 2nd EAD last week and my wife and myself are scheduled for the interiview next week(10/17/2002). I have no clue as to why my case was pushed here? may be as my employer is based in NJ and my case was filed in Vermont whereas my client was here in Columbus? who knows?
Cheers,
SS
