Hi. I had applied for my I-485 in Dec 98 at my local INS Service Center. At that time I was not aware of the fact that the applications had to be sent directly to SC. I got a receit from the local INS center saying that my case would be decided within 120 days. In 1999 and 2000, I got letters from this INS office saying that I need to do get my fingerprinting done. I got the fingerprinting done twice. In June 2000, I wrote to this office about the status of my case and they told me that they had transferred my case to Nebraska as that SC has jurisdiction over my case. I was not given a new case #. I wrote to SC and they responded giving me the same story about 10,000 visa limitation. If I try to call the Nebraska center automated service and put in my original case #, I get the response that my case has been transferred to Nebraska and that I should call the Nebraska phone # for status. Well... that is the same # as the one that I am calling. Thanks for your time and I really appreciate the generous help from the people listed in this forum.
