Transfer to local office

[gka]

Hi Gurus

My GC is filed for future employment. What are the chances that my case will be transferred to local office? And why?

Thanks in advance.

I had the case of so called "future employment"(gc is meant for future employment but what i could infer is i didn't work for the petitioner during filing of my labor and I-140) but was approved by service center directly although with 2 RFEs.I can site many examples where ppl got 485 approved directly from service centers in future employment cases.
Now-a-days, USCIS to reduce backlog will randomly transfer cases to local office.
In my case i joined the GC sponsorer right after 140 approval and 2 mos. ago USCIS asked EVL from my employer.
In their 485 approval guidelines , six flags are mentioned for cases which requires further scrutiny or interview, thats not the case now-a-days.
But for some issues like arrest,class a/b medical conditions,apparent fraud,out of status etc, the chances are almost 99.99% that the cases will find refuge in local office.

Search in the forum for similar topics and you will find handful of those.

Evl?

Is it possible that USCIS can ask EVL directly from your Employer without
even informing you during 485? I was under impression that RFE during 485
will always be addressed to YOU(Even for EVL) as 485 belongs to YOU.

Is lawyer atleast gets notified?

Does the status change when EVL is requested from Employer directly?

Please please clarify

Thanks

No, you will never be notified by USCIS for rfe.
Beneficiary won't be involved for EVL. If you are represented by an attorney, rfe will directly goto attorney.Employer has to furnish all the details abt your employment.
