I’m struggling to get accurate response from Emma , they don’t reveal if it has been transferred to FO, any tips on how to get response from Emma ? or is it just luck
anant saxenaJul 7, 2023
you should talk to the live agent. i was able to get an answer but not sure if having case transferred to nebraska is a good thing

@anant saxena I have similar timelines as yours whenever I talk to live agent they mention my case is still with NBC
anant saxenaJul 7, 2023
got it. yeah i was confused when the agent said my case was transferred to nebraska because usually its the other way round or the case moves to field office.

I have similar timelines as you @anant saxena, My status shows “Fingerprints taken”. My SC is NBC. My PD is current though only by couple of days but it is current. I saw the post inquiring that if Quota for India EB1C is exhausted. Hopefully that is not the case.

your case transfer seems really odd to me .. Mh understanding is Nebraska do not process I485 for eb1. see below from uscis processing time page for Nebraska i485.
After the underlying approval of a Form I-140 petition, the Texas Service Center and the Nebraska Service Center, with limited exceptions, send employment-based Form I-485 applications to the National Benefits Center. A service center’s processing times for employment-based Form I-485 applications do not include completions in the first, second, and third preference categories. To find processing times for the first, second, and third preference categories, use the filters for field office locations. The processing time listed for the Texas Service Center and Nebraska Service Center is only for fourth-preference Form I-485 employment-based cases that those centers continue to work on. The processing time listed for the California Service Center is only for fifth-preference Form I-485 employment-based cases that the California Service Center continues to work on.

yes, i was told today that my case is with Anchorage field office. Not sure if it is a good thing or not
B TJul 12, 2023
that’s a positive move ..you should expect update soon based on how busy the field office is.. you can check their processing time ..all the best

@anant saxena congrats on your case moving to a FO, I think it’s good news fingers crossed!.I have tried multiple times with Emma they say my case is with NBC and they don’t have access to any other information , any advise on how to get response from Emma ? any particular customer reps who’ve been helpful ?unfortunately I’ve had a bad experience so far with Emma
