My I-140 case moved to service center
Hello. My case is under review for 615 days now, initially in Nebraska center. Upon my inquiery with an agent at USCIS, I was informed that my case has been moved to service center on May 20 (Potomac). Not sure what does it mean, but I hope it does not take another 615 days!

@Hadi R It should be a good sign as Potomac center typically takes shorter to respond (at least for i765 processing)
Hadi RAug 6, 2025
@Mike M It’s actually 140

@Hadi R I thought only Texas and Nebraska process I-140. am I mistaken?
Hadi RAug 6, 2025
@Augustus C Yes, initially they go to Nebraska and Texas, but I do not know why mine is in potomac!!
Augustus CAug 6, 2025
@Hadi R why won’t you go with premium processing?
Anto AAug 6, 2025
@Hadi R I just saw they are changing all the service operations. take a look at the processing time page, there is an alert for that.

@Anto A I just saw that. so does that mean they are distributing I-140’s accross more service centers and not just Nebraska and Texas?

@Augustus C @Anto A It seems they do for places with big backlog! With the starting new fiscal year, there will be more green cards available. I expect big jump for action dates in October bulletine.
Anto AAug 6, 2025
@Augustus C I think so. that's why @Hadi R got his file in Potomac.
Hadi RAug 7, 2025
at least 4 months for October!
Hadi RAug 7, 2025
@Mr Dudu maybe 😬

@Hadi R I think it's unlikely for fad, maybe for dof.

Hi Hadi, hope you get your approval soon. One of my friends with July 17th 2023. still waiting for i-140 approval. could you please share more details about what did you do to make them take a look at your case. He did inquary and even did premium processing 3 months ago, but nothing happened.
Hadi RAug 12, 2025
@Reza A I just chatted with a live agent via Emma, possibly you can consider your state’s congressmans, but usually no result!

Did you choose concurrent filing (I-765, I-485) when filling the I-140?
Forough .Aug 14, 2025
Hi Hadi, did you file with an attorney or you're a self petitioner? did you ask them about this Potomac thing? I gues they are familiar with this things.
Hadi RAug 15, 2025
@Forough . I filed with an attorney, but they are not very responsive, usually get back to me with a single sentence!
