Case Processing
Finally, one journey comes to an end, and another awaits.
After few anxious months, I finally received my plastic cards today.
For those who are still patiently waiting for USCIS to process your case, all I can say is wait for your turn. There is nothing that you can do to expedite this process.
For those who believe USCIS has made any processing errors, or your case is outside the ‘normal’ processing times, please get hold of Tier 2 officers ASAP, explain your case, and get answers, and get your issue sorted out. Importantly, please know that the US Government is on your side in this journey. If you feel that you are not getting the help from USCIS, you can reach out to your local congressman and/or senator and request an inquiry to be made on your behalf. You also have an option to request your official document via FOIA. These steps do not adversely affect your case. These are just some options that US Government has for you.
Thanks, and take care.

I-131 Slowness and case been transferred
After more than 2 years of awaiting my I-131, they've transferred from Nebraska to Texas. UNBELIEVABLE! 3 months ago I got an update saying they updated the process with fingerprints.
Does anyone here know if after they transfer normal processing time is reset?
Please, share your insights or experience.
I have a theory, do you think it’s true?
I have researched enough and here is my theory based on peoples comment.
- if you file i485 right before retrogression, the process time will be longer that those who filed right after it became current
- concurrent filing takes longer than separate filing
- eb3 unskilled approval takes one more year longer than skilled or pro
- texas service center takes the longest time for an approval
how much do you think it’s true?
