Pending I-485 (Nebraska) based on approved I-140 EB2-NIW
I had my biometrics done in September 2021, got my I-140 approved in October 2021. I still haven’t received RFE for Medicals. Anyone else in a similar situation?

Mine is NIW too but non-concurrent:) Priority date Nov/2021 and 140 approved date was on Oct/2021 (very similar):)) I did bio last month and I didn’t recieve any updates yet
S BFeb 13, 2022
my i140 (eb2 niw) was approved in September 2021. waiting for i485 approval. looking at similar timelines posted on here I would say we have another 6 months to wait. I sent Medical’s with pack
Gab EB2-NIWFeb 14, 2022
I’m in the same boat, but mine it is in Texas. I had my i140 approved in Aug 4, 2021 and still waiting medical RFE. at least you had your EAD renewal approved. I’ve been waiting it since September, 2021.
A BFeb 14, 2022
Mine is from Nebraska with a similar timeframe and Dec 21 2020 receipt date. No I 693 ask yet.
C AFeb 15, 2022
I recieved an update today. It says that my case was transferred to another office. Not sure where. Will wait for the notice in the mail. 🤷🏻♂️
S BFeb 15, 2022
great news!! keep us posted.
Gab EB2-NIWFeb 15, 2022
just update: I had my i-485 transferred to another office and my i-765 (renewal) approved today as well. Thank God, bc I was in the 180 days and I was afraid to lose my permanent position.
S BFeb 15, 2022
I wonder if they are transferring them to local offices for interview.
A BFeb 15, 2022
@CA +1 on what @S B said. Hope this change accelerates your case and you get the GC soon.
C AFeb 15, 2022
usually AOS based on EB2NIW does not require interview, not sure.
A BFeb 15, 2022
@C A agreed. One of my friends who was in EB2 was called to the office for his Spouse’s application as it had a typo. Not saying yours is the same case but there are instances where even in EB2 people might be called for an interview but what you said is correct there is no Interview generally. Also, it’s not uncommon for the application to be routed to field offices for quicker processing when the Centers are overwhelmed is what I have heard as well.
Overall it looks like a good news. Please keep us posted on the updates. Wishing you Good Luck!
S BFeb 15, 2022
I think the field office decides if there is an interview so if it gets transferred there, they will look at it and decide whether to issue rfe for medicicals to be sent in / interview / approve if Medical’s already sent. maybe?
S BFeb 15, 2022
I feel left out now guys, I want to be transferred lol
Gab EB2-NIWFeb 15, 2022
All friends who applied to Eb2 NIW and received GC in the last 2 years, got it without interview. Hope it is the same for us.
C AFeb 15, 2022
I hope so too! I am hopefull they will request the medicals soon and then approve. I will keep you posted. Good luck to everyone.
Gab EB2-NIWFeb 15, 2022
I will keep you posted as well (also I will say the office it was transferred as soon as I know). Hope we have great news asap. God bless you guys
Gab EB2-NIWFeb 15, 2022
just figured out (chat with an agent) my case was transferred to National Benefits Center. It is weird bc on the processing time info, when you select i-485, there is this office/service center. Do you guys know anything about it?
S BFeb 15, 2022
I think this is good news as they process quicker.
Gab EB2-NIWFeb 15, 2022
hope it is.
C AFeb 15, 2022
I tried asking a live agent, they said they didn’t know and that I have to wait for the notice :(
Gab EB2-NIWFeb 15, 2022
I know it depends on the agent.
R - EB2-NIW RFeb 19, 2022
I'm following your conversations, I'm in the same situation I-140 approved in Aug-2021 and waiting for I-485 approval. Have you had any more updates?
Thanks
C AFeb 19, 2022
I got the notice today. The case was transferred to National Benefits Center.
Gab EB2-NIWFeb 19, 2022
Great. We will have our cases approved soon. 🙏
S BFeb 19, 2022

R - EB2-NIW RMar 9, 2022
Hi guys, did you have any updates? I received today through the app that my case was transferred to another office.
Thank you
Gab EB2-NIWMar 9, 2022
the same over here. 22 days now without receiving any updates. I’ve been waiting RFE for medicals.
S BMar 9, 2022
nothing for mine yet
C AMar 22, 2022
Update: I received RFE for Medical Exam. Case is at NBC, letter came from Los Angeles Field Office (I live in the East coast). Hopefully, that’s the last step 🤞🏼
Gab EB2-NIWMar 22, 2022
@C A great bud.
Update: On Thursday my status was changed to RFE was sent. I received it yesterday, and went to the doctor yesterday too. I hope I mail them back on Friday to have the GC soon. 🙏
BTW, I live in FL, but my notice came from Santa Clarita, CA. I have to send my response to Los Angeles Field Office too.
R - EB2-NIW RApr 12, 2022
Hi guys, did you have any updates?
Gab EB2-NIWApr 12, 2022
@R - EB2-NIW R the doctor only gave the form filled to me next week, on Mar 28. I sent the same day to my lawyer, and she mailed the response to USCIS on Mar 31. It arrived on Monday Apr 4th, and, on the day after, the status changed to “RFE response was received. Today, it completes 6 days, so let’s see. Hope they approve it soon.
S BApr 12, 2022
still no news from me 🥺
R - EB2-NIW RApr 13, 2022
Thanks Gab and S B, my case was moved to NBC 35 days ago but I have no further information.
Gab EB2-NIWApr 16, 2022
@R - EB2-NIW R the status changed today earlier to “new card is being produced”. thank God the journey has finished. and thank God USCIS is working on Saturdays LOL
