My case is:
I-140 approved in July 2003 by Vermont Center ( I am living in New Jersey)
I-485 filed in September 2003 to Vermont Center
In January 2004, I got the status:
On January 28, 2004, we transferred your I485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status to an office in DALLAS, TX for processing. That office will notify you when they take action on your case. You should receive a notice informing you that your case has been transferred to a local office. Please call the National Customer Service Center at (800) 375-5283, to receive information about local office processing times.
It has been like this since then. More than a year passed and nothing moved on. No finger print notice. Both my wife’s and my case have the same status.
My question is:
(1) Why was the case transferred to Dallas TX? My lawyer is in Houston, TX and my wife used to live in Houston and still has a TX driver’s license. But we have lived in NJ since April 2002 and used our New Jersey address for the I-140 as well as I-485. My lawyer doesn’t know why.
(2) When should I expect a fingerprint notice?
Thank you all for your input.
