I really feel terrible that after waiting for 5 years, now your application is sent to the Newark INS office...it\'s just so unfair.
Couple of things that you might want to try are...go to INS office
in Newark (there is a person by name GAMA in the old discussion board who drove to INS Baltimore office and managed to get some information...an idea so to speak) and ask them as to how many months you have to wait to get the interview call...also, he(GAMA) came to know that Baltimore recieved his application a month after VSC said it transferred to Baltimore...
Another option is the oft suggested call to Senator\'s office...approach your local senator and appraise him/her of the situation and the inordinate (read inexcusable) delay that has taken place in approving your application...
I wonder why VSC is doing this...I read a couple of posts where others have said that their applications have been sent to Philly as well...
Hope this helps...

I really feel sorry for you. After 5 years in to process VSC should approve your case instead of sending it to Newark office. I am amazed by VSC\'s inefficiencies. At times they send RFEs! I mean give me a break - after 4-5 years instead of approving the case transferring it to local INS or asking RFEs is like putting salt on a wound. If they would just approve the cases in 12-18 months, they would not have to do this. 5 years is a half a decade and in this rapidly changing job market, anyone could lose a job or anything wrong could happen. At times people might be able to pull through 12-18 months, but as time goes by, the risk of something going wrong increases. By prolonging the time taken to approve I-485 application, INS increases one\'s risk of not getting the green card! Can you comprehend this? Not only INS doesn\'t approve the AOS applications during the specified time frame, but while INS was sleeping over the applications, they want to see whether you continued to put up with your current job/boss/working conditions, no matter what!
Enslaving people for 5 years is just pathetic and inhuman - sometimes jerk boss, sometimes bad working environment, lack of interesting work, missed professional opportunities (forget lower pay for a while). Instead of approving the AOS application, sending an RFE or xferring the case, is just another way of prolonging the torture/slavery. Whoever gave INS this right? And, I wonder why people don\'t sue INS? After so much of sunk cost (money, stress, frustration, time etc.) what else is to lose, except GC?
