transfieren mi caso a una oficina de campo
Muy buenos días a todos quería consultarles quizá ustedes saben el motivo o quizá a algunos les pasó, mi esposo sometió la petición I130 priority date Noviembre 5, 2023 y le tocó (Vermont) luego envié mi I485 el 8 de diciembre del 2023 (PD Noviembre 5,2023) me asignaron National Benefit Center , a mediados de diciembre me llegó una carta para presentar RFE me pidieron exámenes médicos, copia completa de mi partida de nacimiento y co-sponsor) USCIS recibió toda la información que necesitaba el 25 de enero, 2024 luego me asignaron los biométricos en Buffalo New York y después la oficina estaba cerrada y me dieron una nueva fecha, el 15 de febrero esta vez fui por la biométria dos días después me aprobaron el permiso de trabajo y el 7 de marzo me llegó la tarjeta, desde el 15 de febrero aparece que están revisando activamente mi caso ( en mi cuenta de USCIS dice desde esa fecha que faltan 4 meses para que me den una decisión, a estas alturas tendrían que ser 2 meses).
Luego llamé a USCIS y la persona que me atendió me dijo dos cosas
1) Que ellos habían estado leyendo mi información el 22 de marzo pero a mí no me aparece ese registro en mi cuenta de USCIS
2) que habían transferido mi caso a la oficina de campo de Buffalo New York pero jamás me llegó esa información tampoco
mi pregunta es alguien pasó por esta experiencia? y si alguien tiene alguna referencia de la oficina de Buffalo New York desde ya les agradezco a cada uno por leerme
Calculation
In 2023, 9k GC is issued for EB3 Other Worker. I think the current backlogs until end of 2021 is around 17k since they announce there is 26k backlogs in 2023 and there is around 9k new cases in 2022. Assuming they issue similar amount of visa 9k per year like this again, 18k would be issued in 2 fiscal years. Based on raw calculations, it would issue cases in 2020 and 2021 by the end of 2025.
I just attended a meeting with my elite relatives in the US. All of the young people are 0-3 years younger than me, the one same age as me just graduate doctor, other kids work for Google as software engineer or open a Sushi bar. I’m being the oldest dude with more than 1 year experience in trimming chicken and packaging boxes and dropping out of college for the job. They should not invite me next time really, no one gave a darn care about my professional or my being in the party.
I'M SOOOO HAPPY! My GC was delivered yesterday!
I can't express how excited I am since yesterday (Friday) afternoon when I saw the GC in my mail all of a sudden!
* I-485, I-130, I-765, I-131 filed concurrently. (I deleted I-765 and I-131 from my timeline since they are no longer needed.)
* Sent to Chicago lockbox.
* San Jose Field Office.
* RFE: medical form (civil surgeon missed a date so I have to resubmit).
* As of now, my case status is still "card was produced," no tracking whatsoever, no USPS Informed Delivery notification.
* I added some dates in my timeline below so it's more straightforward.
I'll try to keep the long story short. (Still a bit long though. Thanks for reading!)
- Got a job offer in early April so need my EAD badly.
- Searched all over the Internet trying to find a way to expedite my I-765 since I almost didn't fall into ANY category that USCIS listed.
- On a random immigration lawyer's website, it said healthcare industry people have a very high chance to be approved for Expedite Requests, no matter working for a hospital or a business. My offer is from a healthcare company.
- Drafted an explanatory document explaining the importance of my role for this company. Sent to company for approval and signature.
- Uploaded my offer (signed by me and company) and the explanatory document (signed by company) to my USCIS account in I-765's Unsolicited Documents. Called USCIS requesting for an expedite. Luckily the Agent was super responsible and friendly. Was told they will call me back in a few days.
- My application started to process on the very same day and received an RFE.
- I-130 and I-485 approved within the same week.
- Exactly 1 week after my call, USCIS called me back saying I also need to upload a Personal Statement in order to process the Expedite Request for I-765, which means my Expedite Request DIDN'T quite move forward AT ALL!
- I was confused but here's a possible assumption:
~ The Agent marked my I-765 case;
~ My case officer somehow saw the mark right away and decided to take a look at my full application;
~ Realized my case was straightforward so the officer just went ahead and processed it.
Here are some of my suggestions. Please keep in mind that I'm NOT a lawyer and I'm not giving any legal advice. Please consult your lawyer if you need help.
I know my experience wasn't typical at all. But if your case hasn't moved for so long, or you really need to join a company soon, try to be a little proactive. You never know what may happen.
However, please remember to have a VERY STRONG reason in order to bring up an Expedite Request. If you just want to expedite for a random or weak reason, it's not gonna work or even have negative impact on your case.
Thanks for taking your valuable time reading through my story. I really hope my experience can inspire you guys, and I truly hope everyone can have your cases approved soon!
