EB2-1 485 case remains pending??
Hi everyone, USCIS updated my 485 case today:
case remains pending
We are temporarily pausing work on your application because an immigrant visa number is not immediately available to you. Once an immigrant visa number becomes immediately available to you, we will resume processing of your application.
what does that mean? what should I do? anyone has same situation?
I’m ROW, located in NY. Concurrently filed 140(pp), 485, 765, 131 with medical on early February 2021 (PD) and I received my combo card few months ago. my 485 was transferred to NBC from Nebraska on 3/17/22 and didn’t receive any RFE.
most of my friends concurrently filed on June or July last year, and their cases were transferred to NBC from Nebraska already got their GC last month. I don’t know what happened to my case??

Which country are you from?
amyZ SMay 28, 2022
what does an immigrant visa number mean? is that dependent on nationality?
B LMay 28, 2022
@JK. Taiwan, there is ALWAYS CURRENT on visa bulletin.
And I’m pretty sure I put Taiwan on 485 before I signed to my lawyer. Also, the nation on my combo card is Taiwan. that’s why I am so confused.

From other immigration videos, with this kind of update they have advised to not panic as it means the visa number allocation for the CURRENT MONTH is not available but could be available the very next month and your status might once again change to reflect this. Please keep us posted.

Shruthi SMay 28, 2022

B LMay 28, 2022
@Shiva, thanks for sharing. I just emailed my lawyer and wait for his reply. I hope USCIS don’t mess up Taiwan and China. 🥲
Dung NguyenMay 28, 2022
@Shiva Rai, I filed my I-485 the same day as yours and I’m still waiting. we are the same boat…
Shiva RaiMay 28, 2022
@Dung Nguyen mine got transferred from SRC to NBC on March 21, how about yours?
Dung NguyenMay 28, 2022

nick kJun 10, 2022

Dung NguyenJul 5, 2022
any update? I got RFE on jun 17, responsed it on Jun 28. but my status still shows “case was tranferred”.
R SaJul 6, 2022
Any update? I am case remains pending as well eb2 row
B LJul 6, 2022
nope
R SaJul 6, 2022
U should call them and also call ur senator. This is ridiculous. People who have applied after me are getting approved left and right, why do they think they can just put people on hold like this
R SaJul 6, 2022
I called them and am getting tier2 call back, i will also talk to my senator to get them to expedite
B LJul 8, 2022
@R Sa, I called USCIS 800-375-5283 but always robot voice I cannot reach real person, can you share the steps pass by robot and speak to real person especially their 2 agent. Moreover, my case will out of processing time in 4 weeks. thank you so much!
nick kJul 13, 2022

Dung NguyenJul 19, 2022
my case was approved today. but my wife’s case does not have any update. I contacted the USCIC agent to ask about my case yesterday.
nick kJul 20, 2022
@Dung Nguyen - did you also have “Case Remains Pending” status? which country?
Dung NguyenJul 20, 2022
@n k- nope, just changed from “case was transferred…” to “approved”. my wife’s case got approved as well. thanks God! we’re ROW
Shruthi SJul 20, 2022
Congratulations Dung Nguyen 👏
nick kJul 20, 2022

B LJul 21, 2022
nothing change for me, still CRP.
nick kJul 21, 2022
we have a telegram group for people who are also in crp in ROW category / straight file. please join https://t.me/+k4tOui7fvSBmM2Nh
R SaAug 4, 2022
Case got approved today from CRP status. After I called uscis they bumped me to tier 2, but tier2 didnt do anything, just gave me a generic message
B LAug 6, 2022
@R Sa, can you share the steps how to bypass robot voice to reach tier 2, cuz I called several times but cannot talk to real person. any key words? thanks!
R SaAug 6, 2022
say “interview” and then “infopass”
B LAug 8, 2022
@R Sa, thank you!
