ANYONE HAS KNOWLEDGE TO EXPLAIN SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PLS. GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. Thank you! AFTER 8mos of waiting. still no EAD no Updates whatsoever even in my online account (Biometrics reused) But I RECEIVED AN EMAIL YESTERDAY ABOUT A COURTESY NOTICE stating. You are subscribed to Courtesy Notice – San Bernardino Field Office for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. This information has recently been updated, and is now available. March 17, 2023 COURTESY NOTICE Thank you for submitting a Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) which has been transferred to a USCIS Field Office for review and adjudication. What to expect… Your Form I-485 will be reviewed promptly and may be adjudicated without an interview. If an interview is required, you will receive a separate notice with the date, time and location of your interview appointment. To expedite the processing of your Form I-485, please submit a valid and unexpired Form I-693 (Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record) completed by an authorized Civil Surgeon. If you have already submitted a valid Form I-693 that has not yet expired, please do not send another Form I-693 at this time. In addition, if your Form I-485 filing is based on a spousal relationship with a United States Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident, please submit current and relevant documentation that substantiates your marital relationship. This is a courtesy notice and not an official Request for Evidence (RFE). If you have received an official RFE and/or an interview appointment notice, you may disregard this notice.

Seems like your case was transfered to a feild office.

this seems to be the new letter everyone Is receiving so just verify the address they have provided to check if it actually aligns with a real USC.I.S. office and you can proceed to submit your medicals (sealed). Based on any new marriage evidence you have gathered you can submit that too as it may speed up your case processing!
Ti nnMar 18, 2023
@nZay , gotcha. I hope It means something that they are actually doing some action . :( Medicals was sent altogether with the application.
Allah KarimMar 18, 2023
which field office ?
S
Shangie DNMar 18, 2023
it’s asking you to provide your medical if you didn’t submit one and it’s also asking for additional documentation to prove your marriage is bonnafide. submit your medical along with the other documents along with a copy of that email to the field office that has your case.

John RICHARDSMar 18, 2023
You need to send your medical In hurriedly to get your case approved. Once you get this email, they are escaping your interview and moving to approval. Stop wasting your time by submitting your medicla now. Congratulations
Rudy RichMar 18, 2023
This means you need to go do your medical and send it in to the office on the courtesy letter asap.

John RICHARDSMar 19, 2023
@Tinn Esteban most likely they don’t have it that’s why they asking. Make they they got it in July before you screwed your self
Ti nnMar 19, 2023
@John RICHARDS Iapplied Efilling and I can also see my medicals in there. it also stated that If I aleeady sent one not to send anymore. so maybe just the proofs then?
M
Mag SMar 19, 2023
Hi Tinn, Got exact same email as you yesterday. Ive sent medical with my application so, like you Im not sure what might be missing.
M
Mag SMar 19, 2023
@Tinn Esteban - have you moved since applying?
Ti nnMar 19, 2023
@Mag S maybe just letting us know that they received it? My Atty. told me that they dont mean nothing if we didn't received any physical mail. but what we are going to do nextweek is sending proofs through the Address stated in this email and see how it goes.
Ti nnMar 19, 2023
@Mag S nope. still in San Bernardino
J
John RICHARDSMar 19, 2023
@Tinn Esteban I will still send the sealed envelope due them if I were you. We are not to open the sealed envelope though you may have uploaded your copy on line. Howver, if you did sent them the sealed copy and you have proof, sent to them.
Sinsupa 1Mar 19, 2023
how do u get this mail? do u expedite I485??
S
Sal QMar 19, 2023
My case is a bit different and still got the same email, my case was admin closed for a year then reopened last month. I already submitted my all documents (Medical and all) and did my interview so i have no idea what they need right now. email look so generic to me and might got sent to all with pending approval as it seems. last paragraph in the email stating that its a courtesy email and not an official RFE request.
Ti nnMar 19, 2023
@Sinsupa 1 I did not expedite myfriend
Ti nnMar 19, 2023
@Sal Q hmm interesting.
nav wMar 19, 2023
Hi Tinn, i got the same mail friday. I also have already submitted the medicals along with the application. thank you for sharing your experience! since the instructions clearly reads dont mail your medical again and so I wont. i’m debating if I should send fresh marriage proofs… following this theead closely
Simon ReilyMar 19, 2023
I got same email and I submitted medical form with 485 as well. just wait and good luck you will get decision soon!
Simon ReilyMar 19, 2023
@Sinsupa 1 I got email as well. I think the email is directly from San Bernardino office
Simon ReilyMar 19, 2023
@Tinn Esteban I heard someone got approved in one week after received this email. I don’t think this is RFE for i-693. You can double confirm it with Emma
Daksh PatelMar 19, 2023
i received the same notic in email, not in mail and i can not see this notic le in online uscis portal. can enyone enoight me how did you guys receive that notice, i mean in what form. also my PD is March 22, 2022.

Ti nnMar 19, 2023
@Daksh Patel Yes I received it only by email too. no physical mail yet. did u notify USCIS of ur new address before u moved?
Ti nnMar 19, 2023
@Simon Reily Yes very hopeful about something to happen. will send this week proofs of marriage not medicals already sent them.
Daksh PatelMar 19, 2023
@Tinn Esteban i have updated my address by uscis online account. i did not called or did not sent mail to them. Also, i have received RFE on my new address back on sep 20, 2022 and last update on my i130 was they received my response to RFE on October 20th, 2022. after that no update until i got this courtesy notice email in email on March 17, 2023
Daksh PatelMar 19, 2023
@Tinn Esteban for address update, i just login into my uscis account -> profile -> edit -> change address.
Ti nnMar 19, 2023
@Daksh Patel Oh okay gotcha. well, I think many post its just an email sent to us but nothing special I guess if we dont really received a mail notice so we'll see. will keep this thread posted after I sent my joint proofs of marriage.
Ti nnMar 19, 2023
@nav w Hello, hopefull that there will be some updates about it and not just like a generated email. Will send proofs this week w my Lawyer and will update this thread ASAP. you're welcome. just need more patience and not lose faith.
Ti nnMar 19, 2023
@Daksh Patel Thanks for info. but rn since I haven't received anything or no action on my usics account still cant edit anything in there.

Phil LMar 19, 2023
@Tinn Esteban I receive the same courtesy notice the same day as you, I guess a lot of cases were transferred from the NBC to San Bernardino FO, not sure if this is something good or the processing time starts now with that FO times (14.5 months :( ). PD I also sent my medical with my application in September last year.
u kMar 19, 2023
@Tinn Esteban , was your I-130 already approved?
Ti nnMar 19, 2023
@u k No action yet. "case just received"
Ti nnMar 19, 2023
@Phil L any actions done to ur application? like do u have ur Work permit already?
P
Phil LMar 19, 2023
@Tinn Esteban Yes, but was from my last visa status not from my application. Also, my visa was a non immigrant visa, no dual intent.
u kMar 20, 2023
@Tinn Esteban, updates?
Ti nnMar 20, 2023
@u k No updates yet. maybe will send proofs this coming friday. will let this thread know if there will be any actions after we pass
Ti nnMar 21, 2023
@ba lu Hi, married filing jointly. this will be our 2nd yr filling jointly since its a good proof too.
L kMar 21, 2023
@Tinn Esteban I got exactly the same email. San Diego field office. my lawyer is sending a copy of my medical exams, and the Bona fide docs that we sent for the RFE we received a few weeks ago. keeps us posted about your case. I’ll do the same. cheers!
the blessedMar 22, 2023
i received the same thing today you better send it asap they only give me 7days to send them everything
B
Brianna AraujoMar 22, 2023
My husband is my sponsor. I didn't receive anything, but he got that same email, same date, same everything. But I though it was weird because that information is not updated on the online account and I didn't receive any letters either. Also immigration uses ".gov". So I'm not sure how to proceed. Because the Medical Exam expires, so I'm afraid to do it. Been trying to contact uscis about it, but it's difficult.
S
Stella WangMar 22, 2023
I received same mail last Friday March 17th with same content except that it said the case was transferred to San Diego office. I also have done interview last year (in May), submitted medical, all the evidence of marriage. I received combo card in July. And then I have been waiting until now. I don't think there is anything new that I need to submit. Lawyer said there is nothing to do but waiting. Finger crossed!
jim formanMar 23, 2023
it’s a poorly worded, ultra confusing notice. I understand USCIS is upping their engagement with “customers”. I nearly started ripping my hair out because I had sent in everything they asked for and confirmed it by looking at the scans of our submission. again, I appreciate the reason USCIS is sending these courtesy notices - but next time try focus grouping the language so we all don’t panic over really what is a good thing. peace

Sal QMar 24, 2023
@Tinn Esteban any updates on your case after receiving the email ☝️
j
j castroMar 25, 2023
@Tinn Esteban hey, I got a similar letter (in mail) today from the Fresno FO. it seems there just giving the chance to add more documentations to our applications before they actually have to send RFEs. I’m thinking this might be some sort of a new policy they recently implemented to speed up processing? I got a little scared because I thought it was scam
Simon ReilyMar 27, 2023
I want to mail unsolicited document to FO. will this help speedy the case?
P
Phil LMar 28, 2023
@Tinn Esteban Yesterday I got an update for my I-765 EAD, card being produced. I hope your case is also moving forward, good luck.
Ti nnMar 28, 2023
Still no update after sending proofs.
Ti nnMar 28, 2023
@Phil L Good for you :) hopefully mine will come soon thankyou

Mag SMar 28, 2023
@Phil L , did you send any documents after receiving that curtesy email we all got?
M
Mag SMar 28, 2023
@Tinn Esteban my lawyer said it was just a curtesy and no need to send anything until they request it......have you sent documents after that email?

what’s your PD?
P
Phil LMar 29, 2023
@Maf S, no I didn't send anything, I had sent all evidence and needed paperwork when I filed, I believe it's just a template they use only to let you know that your case was turned over a local office, in this case San Bernardino.
P
Phil LMar 29, 2023
BTW my PD was September 29
M
Mag SMar 29, 2023
@Phil L Thanks. We have moved since applying so i wanted to send the new lease. Just in case
nav wMar 29, 2023
@Phil L congratulations on the ead! may i ask if you were on a h1b or l1 visa at the time of pd? i have a theory that they dont give ead to h1b guys and give direct green card. this probably helps uscis prioritize

Phil LMar 29, 2023
@nav w I'm/was under TN visa

Mag SMar 29, 2023
@Phil L Im in a TN as well 🍁

Phil LMar 29, 2023
@Mag S if you just changed your address you can update it online (Form AR-11), actually you should do it during the first 10 days.
M
Mag SMar 29, 2023
@Phil L - ive done that. but haven't send the new lease yet (for bonifide marriage)
S
St AnnMar 29, 2023
I have just received it. It's super confusing. It violates the previous policy, like don't send anything unless RFE. Why do they ask me to send the I-693, while previously they send the notice to be ready to bring it on an interview or send it with RFE? I can send but I am not sure. They say it is NOT RFE. I hope the lawyer will suggest anything reasonable.
Yu MastridleMar 31, 2023
I think they just inform you about following steps.
ryo sanMar 31, 2023
mine it says print this information and send it with my medicals. i only received email as for now.
Yu MastridleMar 31, 2023
courtesy notice, it’s nothing special, Probably they want to tell us about that something is missing, and for which we must be ready.
bree lApr 3, 2023
any updates anyone? I got this email as well and sent the medical result right away and a week later I received the RFE for medical.. I am wondering if I have to send the medical again? my laywer contacted USCIS and asked and they said to send them medical again with RFE.. but that doesn’t make sense..
M
Mag SApr 6, 2023
no updates for me either.
S
St AnnApr 8, 2023
Any updates? My Lawyer told me to send the I-693 and extra proofs if I have them. I did so a week ago. Now I don't know where is my I-693, did they process the envelope well or lose it?
M
Mag SApr 17, 2023
Hi @ba lu - ive sent my proofs as well. no confirmation. Ive also uploaded them on uscis website as unsolicited evidence.

Hello, I also received the same email from USCIS yesterday. I don’t know what to do next to be honest. Is there any update? Please letting us know. thanks 🙏🏼
Ti nnMay 6, 2023
@yellow banana 🍌 It's just an automated thing my atty says. dont expect too much abot this the most important one we have to receive are the physical mails.

Daryll BersaminaMay 27, 2023
Hi there! I'm from WA. As I was checking thru my spam folders today, I found the same Notice/Email like you guys received but it was dated back 04May'23. Was thinking about scheduling for another medical but was able to come across on this thread of discussions. I already submitted my I-485 application+ I-693medical last Feb. 2022 so for sure it's already expired. So assumption really is it's just an automated send-to-all-mail right? No action to perform and just wait for any official mail(or RFE if any) / changes in USCIS account right?
Ti nnMay 27, 2023
@Daryll Bersamina Yes. I received this email around March but still no EAD or anything action in my case at all.

Hello Tinn Esteban, did you receive any approval from Fresno office? I too received courtesy notice on March 8th (it is family based I-485 case, us citizen filing for a parent) but no approval yet.
M
Mag SAug 16, 2023
Hi All. woke up this morning to i-130 approval. wishing the same for you.
