Case transferred to Portland Field Office
Through Emma I got to know my case was transferred to Portland, Maine FO on March 2, 2023 but yesterday I was told my application was received on May 16,2023. I am very confused. Can someone please explain me what does that mean??
Also does anyone know the processing time of this FO??
Thank you in advance.

Emma agents give random info most of the time

@P G Emma agents are very well-known to give inconsistent and some times confusing information. So the agent said May 16 was when USCIS first received your application or that was when the FO received your application?
P GMay 26, 2023
@Selith H May 16 is when FO received the application.
USCIS had received the application on Dec 23, 2022
Selith HMay 26, 2023
@P G Oh I see. Its amzing how they can be giving us conflicting information everytime. Well, I guess the good thing is they both confirmed that it is at the FO.
P GMay 26, 2023
@Selith H Ikr but do you have any idea how long a FO takes to make the decision??
Selith HMay 26, 2023
@P G It is difficult to tell as it may depend on the workload at the field office. Some people get a decision within 2 months after transfer to the field office while some others wait more than that. We just have to hope for the best. Did you submit your medical with the application?
P GMay 26, 2023
@Selith H Thank you for your information.
Yes I did send my medicals together with I485.
Selith HMay 26, 2023
@P G Oh ok, that will certainly help reduce the wait time. Good luck!

@P G My latest update is that Icompleted biometrics yesterday and case updated today to “Case Remains Pending”
P GJul 13, 2023
@M M Applicants with late biometrics are getting their case approved within a month or less. Hopefully you get yours approved soon as well.
P GJul 13, 2023
@M M We are on the same boat. I received an update “Case remains pending” today.
Does this mean we have to wait atleast till October??
T DJul 13, 2023
@P G Probably. With the huge regression today from the Visa Bulletin in the Final Action Date, it is unlikely that we’ll see an approval until the new Fiscal Year. Hopefully we’re first in line. What is your PD?
P GJul 14, 2023
@M M Its very frustrating. IDK how they are gonna catch up with 3 year’s backlog in new FY.
MY PD is March 4, 2022.
