Where to check my case status?

Hi,

I was in removal proceedings and my attorney filed for I-485 to have my case adjusted in front of the judge since i had my I-140 approved for an EB2 visa category. On Individual hearing, the judge and the immigration attorney agreed to terminate my proceedings and allowed me to apply for adjustment of status with USCIS. By the way, fingerprints were already done during the removal proceedings process. It has been over 6 months, since my lawyer applied with TSC and we have not received the receipt notice for I-485. I asked my attorney to check with USCIS and he told me it takes several months before they issue the application receipt notice since we initially applied with the court and we paid the fees to the court so transferring the fee to TSC takes time.
I am really confused. Not sure what to do and who to contact to check on my case. Is this even normal? I called National Service number and the officer told me to write a letter to TSC because she could not find my case in the system.
EB2 category for ROW is current right now and i dont want to lose that opportunity. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!
 
Write your local Congressman, they love helping aliens. I'm not kidding....
Did ICE take your prints or did CIS? If you were arrested and fingerprinted, those prints don't work to adjust status.
 
Thank you dafortycal. I will write a letter to my local Congressman for help.

My FPs were taken by USCIS and i also got my EAD approved for two years. I am not sure if my case is stuck due to name check or anything? My lawyer told me they've already done a background check on me before terminating the removal proceedings. Not sure why they did not send me the receipt notice for Adjustment of status although i have provided all the info and the fees.

Thanks!!

By any chance did you move and forgot to notify the government of your new address?

Hi dafortycal,

I have been staying at my current address for several years and the USCIS has the same address in their system. Another question i had was that i had two cases filed with USCIS. One was for EB3 and the other was for EB2 category. EB3 is still "Pending" since the priority date is not current but for EB2, i did not receive the receipt notice for AOS application. Both the cases have I-140 approved. Not sure where the problem is. I called the National Service Center number and they told me to write a letter to TSC explaining my situation.

Thanks for your help!
