@Renata Mendonca 17th march 2023
Mohammad EbiOct 16, 2025
@roya roya my PD is similar to you, 10th March 2023. Do you know how many times your case was transferred? My one was in Phoenix and Dallas (both are non local for me) and came back NBC.
roya royaOct 16, 2025
@Mohammad Ebi I had an interview in August, and my case trasferred to NBC at the middle of September,

My PD 13 March 2023. no updates at all since biometrics on September 2024. I’ve been told too many times my case transferred to Washington FO. I’m seeing a lot of people with PDs on March 2023 in the same situation. I’m wondering what is going on?
Carlos ReyesOct 16, 2025

Younes BOct 17, 2025
@Carlos Reyes @roya roya sorry for that. what was your PDs?
Elie RadOct 17, 2025

@Elie Rad Many tnx!
kevin 123Oct 27, 2025
my case also transferred from FO To NBC IN September , case updated to VISA BULLETIN IS NOT CURRENT OR CASS HELD IN ABEYANCE
no updates
it has been since I have filed the I-485 petition
Mohammad EbiOct 27, 2025
@Kevin 123 Are you able to send a service request in USCIS website?
kevin 123Oct 27, 2025
@Mohammad Ebi no
Mohammad EbiOct 27, 2025
@Kevin 123 my case got stuck in FO then my lawyer decided to send a service request. Then after one month It went another FO. I believe service request can help when the case gets stuck.
kevin 123Oct 27, 2025
@mohammad
oh yea , I created service request for EAD asked me to wait for 60 days Emma told me that case assigned to officer , but no action was taken exactly after 60 days file transfered to Nebraska

Elie RadFeb 16, 2026
congratulations @kevin 123! I hope we are next @Mohammad Ebi
Mohammad EbiFeb 16, 2026
@Elie Rad Yes hopefully our turns come soon.
Younes BFeb 26, 2026
@Mohammad Ebi Any updates on your end so far? have you get approval?
Mohammad EbiFeb 27, 2026
@Younes B My case is in pause. As I am in the list of 19 countries.
Younes BFeb 27, 2026
@Mohammad Ebi I’m so sorry about that. I’m from the 75 countries, you think that would impact as well? May Allah make it easy for us in this blessed month
Mohammad EbiFeb 27, 2026
@Younes B if you are not in the list of 19 countries, you won't be affected. I am sorry that you are still waiting for your case. Hopefully we move from this step.
Younes BFeb 27, 2026
@Mohammad Ebi I’m not from the 19 countries. but it’s been now 123 days since my status was changed to “case ready to be scheduled for interview “. I reached out to congressman and to senator for help and the response was it’s in queue to be scheduled for interview in the Washington field office which is not a local office for me. I asked my lawyer to send a service request since early this month but we didn’t receive any reply yet. it’s annoying couldn’t get patient
Elie RadMar 18, 2026
@Mohammad Ebi they just updated my status to case is scheduled for an interview, I know you went through the same could you please advise what questions they will ask and how long it will take to send me the interview date
Elie RadMar 18, 2026
@Younes B mine in a non local office too!! and my case was updated to scheduled for interview, any updates?
Younes BMar 18, 2026
@Elie Rad nothing on my end. Still waiting. what is your Non local field office and your filing date? I have an interview briefing appointment with my lawyer as soon as I get an update I can share that with you once I get something. keep me posted please!
Elie RadMar 18, 2026
@Younes B non local office is Minneapolis-saint Pauil FO. FD oct 2024
Younes BMar 18, 2026
@Elie Rad As for March 3, 2026 my congressman got a response from the USCIS saying that my case is in the Washington FO awaiting for a spot and seems that office is the slowest ever and most busiest one. I’ve been told through live agent lately that the case was transferred there since March 15, 2025
Mohammad EbiMar 19, 2026
@Elie Rad great move for your case. Unfortunately as I am from that 19 countries, my interview was canceled and my case is in pause. Is there any restriction similar to my case for you? I mean are you from that 19 countries?
Elie RadMar 19, 2026
@Mohammad Ebi No but I am from the 75 countries.
Mohammad EbiMar 19, 2026
@Elie Rad That would be great then. Based on my friends' experiences the interview is straightforward and mainly the officer will review the questions of the I 485 form that we already answered.
Elie RadMar 19, 2026
@Mohammad Ebi I am really tired of waiting 😔 my lawyer said this will take 1-4 months on average. based on your friend experience, do you know when they will send me the interview date and when should I expect the interview
Mohammad EbiMar 20, 2026
@Elie Rad For my case when I got the update of "your case is ready for an interview ", two weeks later my interview scheduled (for 40 days later)
Younes BMar 20, 2026
@Mohammad Ebi @Elie Rad for my case it’s been 144 days since my case updated to ready to be scheduled for an interview. I don’t know what’s wrong with them
Elie RadMar 20, 2026
@Younes B I pray that they will end up waiving it for you and that it goes to approved directly
Younes BMar 21, 2026
@Elie Rad Ameen. I hope so. Thanks so much for the kind words!
Mohammad EbiMar 25, 2026
@Younes B Could you open a service request?
Younes BMar 25, 2026
@Mohammad Ebi I’m not sure what is the s service request?
Younes BMar 25, 2026
@Mohammad Ebi But I would say that I tried to do every single thing that could be done through my online account never being able to submit anything. I would mention that my receipt is starting with MSC, so I never received an online account code to link my case to my account. However, my lawyer is trying to submit a service request on my behalf and since I didn’t hire a lawyer from the beginning we are now trying to get her as my representative we filed for that almost 2 months ago but she still not considered as my representative. she’s been calling the USCIS almost every week but still hasn’t gotten anything
Mohammad EbiMar 25, 2026
@Younes B you can submit service request by yourself, you do not need any one else, although better if a lawyer does it. As your case is in field office I belive USCIS let you submit it.
Younes BMar 25, 2026
@Mohammad Ebi I don’t know how to do it. if you can tell me what to do or how to do this. I will try myself until my lawyer gets back from the USCIS and be able to do so
Mohammad EbiMar 26, 2026
@Younes B https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request
Mohammad EbiMar 26, 2026
@Younes B Go to the link, then select check case processing. Based on your filing date and the current location of your case (local or main center) it evaluates whether you can submit service request or not.
Younes BMar 26, 2026
@Mohammad Ebi The first time I can submit an inquiry is May 10, 2026. it says I’m within normal processing time. that’s ridiculous!
Mohammad EbiMar 26, 2026
@Younes B I am sorry hearing that, hopefully till that time you have an update.
