chat with Emma told me that case is processing at Fo
hello everyone, I sent my case of 485 to the national benefits center in Oct 2022, I did the fingerprint appointment in North Carolina. today I was chatting with live agent and she told me that my case is processing at some center located in Florida.
is that normal? did it happen with you? how long it was since the case was sent to field office till you got updates?
thank you so much

it’s normal when interview is most likely waived they send it to non local field office. You will hear back from FO within 6 weeks after transfer.

You did not ask an equally important question, “when” was it transferred?

Hi! my I-140 was approved and EAD approved without fingerprint. Then, my I-485 was transferred for National Benefit, but I do not received any fingerprint appointment yet. How long does it takes for your fingerprint be scheduled?

@am elia, thanks for responding. yes I did not ask. should be less than a month since I just chatted with live agent a month ago. have you had similar experience? thanks

@F A I asked! They told me the exact date it was transferred. 2/14
F AMar 9, 2023
@Elias A, did you hear back within 6 weeks? I would imagine that my case was transferred less than 4 weeks ago. Also I strongly believe that no interview will be done. Have you received yours within 6 weeks? thanks
F AMar 9, 2023
@Stefani S, I guess it should be within weeks. mine was scheduled on Nov 8th and our case was received Oct 19th. good luck

@F A mine was transferred to Tampa FO on 1/23/23 and got medical RFE on 03/02/23. I also see from many people timeline, many got some response in that range.

@F A Thank you! It’s already 3 months that my I-485 was received and no fingerprint appoint yet (but in this meantime they transferred to NBC, is already 29 days there), that’s why I am apprehensive.

@am elia , just asked and I was informed that it was sent Jan 31.

@F A there you go. You’re on your 6th week now.. haha
F AMar 9, 2023
@am elia, thanks I do hope to get it shortly. Good luck for you as well.

Adding a data point. I was told that my case was transferred to FO on Jan 31 as well. Nothing since

@day dreamer thanks for sharing and good luck for you as well

mine was transferred to NBC on Nov 19 2022, to SFV FO on Jan 16 2023, and interview waived on Feb 16 2023. No response from FO after 9 weeks.

@Nuno F thanks for your input, yeah it might not be 6 weeks or so of waiting as someone mentioned. the lawyer told me that it is not unusual for USCIS to send to FO to balance the workload balance and the case May get transferred to NBC again.

mine moved to Boston office on Jan 13th so that means I'm on my 7th or 8th week. still nothing...
Nuno FMar 10, 2023
@F A I also got that info. I believe it will always go to the NBC for final adjudication
