Case Transfer
Hi friends! I hope everyone is well and healthy, we know this process isn’t easy. Both my 130 and 485 applications were transferred to local field office on May 20th. my interview is still showing as waived, and the USCIS representative said there is a ‘bypass’ indication on my file, indicating the no interview needed for my case. does anyone know how long adjudication typically takes after file has been transferred? filed concurrently in July 2022. Almost 11 months ago.

@Damilola danquah I submit the medical with my entire package last year. To determine if your interview was waived, you can ask Emma online, or call the customer service line and ask. They will tell you. To get past the automated system, just say ‘infopass’ and you will be able to speak with someone :)

@Suechie Clarke is your file at a local field office?

Ali OrtegaMay 22, 2023
@stella munch It’s honestly so frustrating. Mine was at NBC then transferred to Miami FO, received an RFE for long form birth certificate in January. They finally approved my EAD last Friday and my 131 advanced parole today. 485 status shows as ‘reviewing the evidence’ as of May 20th. I was only told my 130 had also been transferred because I called to ask. Im hoping this means we’re close to adjudication? You filed your case in April 2022?

Ali OrtegaMay 22, 2023
@stella munch Do you have your EAD yet?

@Ali Ortega have several agents told you the same that your case was transferred? I’m asking because one told me it was at the FO and the rest keep telling me my case is at the NBC :(. I’m exhausted of this confusion. hope you get approved soon!

@Ali Ortega yea it was transfer to the FO and the RFE’S was requested from said FO. on my husband online account my I-130 told me I can’t change my address during this stage of adjudication so hopefully I’ll be approved some time soon.

@ali Ortega I. what way you would help for EAD
Stella munchMay 31, 2023
are you USCIS EMPLOYEE
A
Ali OrtegaJun 1, 2023
@stella munch No, but I have a process that I followed and my EAD was approved a few days later. I’m simply trying to help you out-it’s too long to type on this app. I sent the same process to a friend I met on this app, and her EAD was also approved within a few days.
