I-140 being reviewed 8 months after passport stamping?

[gccom]

Ok, ok, ok, breathe....
I had CP done in Nov 2004 in Montreal, passport stamping 2 days later, entered U.S. as PR in Jan 05. Never received card or the welcome letter, called the 800 number multiple times. Sent a G-731 in March and now I got an e-mail from NSC stating " your case has been transferred back from Deptt of State for further review". Does anyone, ANYONE have any idea what's going on, any clue?
Thanks

Ok, Ginnu, here's how it went down:
Lived on border town and had H1B, I-140 approved in 2003, case transferred to NVC followed by CP, successful interview in Montreal in Nov 2004, entered at POE 2 days after the interview with visa packet, officer who stamped I-551 in the passport took FP on I-89 and said it is taking long time, ~18 months, to get the physical card, permanently moved to U.S. 2 months later, called NSC in Feb (90 days after the stamping) about the card, they said they don't have any info in the system yet, sent G-731, same response with blank form asking for more information, traveled abroad on stamp, came back, sent the form back in April with photocopy of stamp and immigrant visa. received e-mail from USCIS in May that "case (I-140)has been transferred back from Deptt of State for further review".
My wishful guess is that since I-140 case no. was the last communication I had with USCIS (no I-485), they used that no. as a reference to my file and are processing the card. Am I being overly hopeful? Or are they doing some sort of internal QA type of review?

------------- may the officer at POE did not sent I-89 to card production unit

traveled abroad on stamp, came back, sent the form back in April with photocopy of stamp and immigrant visa. received e-mail from USCIS in May that "case (I-140)has been transferred back from Deptt of State for further review".
---------------- case trasfred to DOS for review? or from DOS to....???

----------------- you may be correct

---------------- Dear, I dont know what they are doing, may be others can guess

Ginnu, the case was transferred back FROM deptt of state TO USCIS.
Anyway, thanks for the reply. I hope I will get the card w/out any trouble, one of these days.

------------------ becae USCIS process the Card and not DOS. the confusion is word " TRASFER" did the employer who filed I-140 for you still exists? may be they mean to say that the USCIS wants to review the file again. Dont go by my post it is just guess. others may guide you more
Anyway, thanks for the reply. I hope I will get the card w/out any trouble, one of these days.
