EB3, PD 09/2014 - Transferred to FO on 09/01 & i-693 Medical RFE issued 09/08!
- USCIS supposedly ran out of 2022 GC Visa Numbers on Sept 06.
- My case was transferred from Nebraska to NBC on Aug 31 and then to Atlanta FO on Sept 01 (I am in Bay Area, CA).
- On Sept 08 an i-693 RFE was generated (since I did not interfile medicals), which was delivered to me on Sept 16 - this stated respond by Dec 05 so we don't deny your case (but try to respond ASAP so we can evaluate your case before end of FY 22).
- I responded to the RFE on Sept 22, which was delivered to Atlanta FO on Sept 23 (at 10:30 AM, Atlanta time).
- Till today (Oct 02), the i-485 status just says "Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction"
QUESTION:
- Why would USCIS request documents (that expire in 2 years) for something that is potentially very last step of an EB3 Sept 2014 GC application, especially when they have ran out of Visa Numbers, the Fiscal Year is about to end, the PD is not current and the upcoming fiscal year shows retrogression?
NOTES:
- I had an approved EB2 i140 with a prior employer, but moved to a new employer after the EB3 downgrade (by the prior employer) in Oct 2020 and the 180 day period had passed. The new employer filed an i-485 Supplement J.
- The new employer's i-485 Supplement J, was transferred on the same day and my pending i-131 "AP Renewal" application was also updated to show fingerprints on the same day as these transfers (aka Aug 31 / Sept 01).

who is your officer number for rfe?
R SOct 10, 2022
Hello Natasha,
There was no Officer#, as I never received an interview request; directly the i-693 RFE (which is different from the i-693 Deficiency Letter).
The letter asked to directly send the envelope to the Atlanta FO address mentioned.
Sincerely,
RS

i-131 (AP) Renewal was Approved today. Believe next step is CRP Status on I-485 (AoS).

any update afterwards?
R SNov 1, 2022
No updates. Case Status has been stuck at "Case was transferred and another office has jurisdiction" since Sept 01. Every EMMA support agent gives a different answer, ranging from "If your date is not current you will wait" to "Your case is not retrogressed, which I know now means you must have a Visa Number assigned". Not really sure what to believe; so have decided to just wait.

R SDec 20, 2022
Hey Guys - Sorry for the delay in responding.
I received a Sup J RFE on Dec 6 and just responded. Case status is still Transferred and another office has jurisdiction (been in this state since 01-Sept-2022)
R SDec 27, 2022
@Satty G and @hlb khf - Any updates on your cases
Satty GDec 27, 2022

R SDec 28, 2022
Did your online status ever change from "Case was transferred... " to RFE Sent or Response Received?
Satty GDec 29, 2022
no.. no updates are made till date.. submitted medical rfe on Nov 23..
R SDec 29, 2022
Today my case after 4 months and 2 RFEs (Medical in Sept and SupJ in Dec) changed to CRP. No idea what's happening 🙈
Satty GDec 29, 2022
all the best R S!
hlb khfDec 29, 2022
cool, all the best.
to your previous question, no updates for me. I have sent rfe request 3
months back but status is still stuck at “rfe requested “
R SJan 1, 2023
Weirdly my SupJ from Employer-B that was pending for 1.5 years and had also moved to FO on Sept-01, got approved 1 day after i-485 went to CRP. It is still in CRP and I have no idea what happened to Employer-C SupJ that got delivered a couple a weeks ago in response to the SupJ RFE (still awaiting receipt notice on this one and Approval Notice from the Employer-B SupJ).
Really have no idea what comes next. But at this point I have done all I could and I am currently on my EAD. If after 14 years the Govt wants to throw me out, it is what it is (enough is enough). Apologies for sounding like a bummer.
Happy New Year to all my fellow applicants in this journey.

EMMA support says case is headed back to NBC :\
C JJan 4, 2023
this sucks man! when did you get Supp J query? I’ve specific query regarding 485j… dm possible?
R SJan 5, 2023
I got my new Job Offer / AC21 SupJ RFE request on Dec 06, 2022 in mail (it was generated by FO on Nov 29, 2022).
Response delivered on Dec 21, 2022.
CRP on Dec 28.
Older employer AC21 SupJ (that was pending for 1.5 years) approved by same FO on Dec 29. Do not know what happened to this new SupJ from most recent employer that got delivered Dec 21.
Yesterday EMMA Live Agent told me its headed back to NBC.
PS - Dont think this platform has DM feature
hlb khfJan 10, 2023
