They Sent 2 Transfer Notices( i.e one for myself another for my wife).
Actually VSC sent on Dec 2nd 2004.

My Case Transferred on 2nd Dec 2004
I-140 Approved on 11th june 2004
I-485 ND: 18 th Aug 2003
PD:Oct 2001


Today I went to Philly INS office , IIO told they received my case files to philly office on 10th Dec'04.
 
Did you asked you anything about your case when you will get the interview or their processing timings?
My case was transfered to philly office on dec 6th,yesterday i went to pittsburgh suboffice regarding my case ,IIO told philly office received my application but she is going to call philly office today or tomorrow to find out about my case staus,she is going to call me once she get the answer from philly office. let me see
 
Just now i got call from pittsburgh INS local office,she is getting my file from philli office(Bcz i am stying in pittsburgh),she told me you will get interview letter in couple of months, let see ,i think pittsburgh center processing time is better than philli office.

Your Federal tax returns for the most recent 3 years.

BTW, after your case was transferred, did you do any in-person inquiry using info-pass at Philly Office?
And, did you apply for Advanced Parol? If you did, it is after transferring or before?

You are welcome - thanks for your info.

I just read your other posts: I am from DE just like you. And I filed 485 8/2002. ANd my fp1 and fp2 are almost the same as u. I don't know when i was transferred - probably early nov., 2004. Let's see how long does it take for me...

So, you didnot get any transfer notice from Philly, just interview letter, right?
Another person, jsmith, has very similar case details with us... Ldet's see how long it takes for him...

the philly local office for interview. The message is below:

Receipt Number: EAC040385****

Application Type: I485 , Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status

Current Status:

On January 6, 2005, we transferred your I485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status to our office in PHILADELPHIA, PA for them to schedule and conduct your interview. Scheduling can take several months. Our office in PHILADELPHIA, PA will notify you when they schedule your interview or take other action on your case. If you need further information, please call the National Customer Service Center at (800) 375-5283.

But nothing happened to my spouse's case.

Is anyone has this kind of experience? Please tell me what's going on.
Adn also is this a good thing our bad for my case?

Thank you ahead!

I-140/I-485 (EB2) ND Nov 11/2003
I-140 AD 12/2004
FP for myself and Spouse: 11/2003
I-485: 01/07/2005 transfered to the local office
 
I-485 approved

After a long wait, I got my I-485 approved and passport stamped on the 11th. Th officer didn't ask much except for the standard questions and job letter and tax returns. However, my wife's file has been transferred to Washington, not sure what was the reason. He said he'll request the file and will look into her file once its here in Philly.

How long does it take for the plastic card to arrive?
