congratulations @Prash Raj , did it move to field office or was approved from NBC?
Prash RajApr 29, 2024
@S B I don’t think it was moved to a field office or at least I was not aware of it was ever moved. I assumed it was at NBC all along.

@Prash Raj congratulations! keeping my fingers crossed

@N B September 13 2019. just my two cents: I think there is too much randomness and too many moving parts to their process that makes it hard for anyone to give a straight answer. From approvals last month I thought they were working on applications with 2015/2016 priority dates and back log from retrogression last year. But this month seems like a different story.

@del Kh @raj bh how did you guys port your priority dates? i also have an appoved eb2 but i would like to port my priority date from a previously approved eb3 i-140. USCIS already sent my case to NVC.. can i still contact USCIS regarding my priority date? if so, how? thank you
del KhMay 1, 2024
@fred dantata I didn't do anything to port my PD. it was automatic when the receipt notice for eb1A approval came, it had the ported PD.
fred dantataMay 1, 2024
@del Kh thanks for the response. Did you indicate your initial receipt number on your EB1 I-140? I’m just wondering how USCIS got to know that they had to port..
del KhMay 1, 2024
your A number remains the same in all applications for i140. also, for the most recent i140 we submitted proofs of all prior immigration statuses.
