Case Transferred To Another Office

Hello, My I-360 was approved in January. I originally filed both my I-360 and I-485 together back in 2022. I recently received a notification that my case I-485 has been transferred to another office. Does this mean anything? Should I expect to receive a request for a medical exam soon?
