I filed 485 of myself and wife based 140 Nation interest Waiver (on my own)at TSC but they transered my case to local Houston INS. I wondering why did they do it. And How long it is going to take. Can somebody please help me.
Thanks a lot

There may be several reasons why your case may
be transferred from Service Center to local office.
Fingerprinting issues is one reason, random selection
is another. Although, if the service center adjudicator
feels that you need to be interviewed to check some
paperwork, that may also trigger a local transfer.

I think Houston has one of the worst processing times,
if your application falls into the family based immigration queue,
something like 1078 days.

Have you done any fingerprint and have you got EAD before your files are transfered? I talked to OII at TX center once and I was told NIW I-485 can be handled in the center or local office. can you tell me what is your RD date and when it was transfered? thanks.

Yes I got my EAD before my case was transfered to Houston. Somtime in Dec 99 it was transfered to houston. No fingerprinting yet. For 485 Am I going to be in same queue like every body else?

I was not married when I got 140 approval. I was married before I filed for 485. Is it the reason they might have tras. to houston.
