What was the reason to go for info pass? Your profile says you are eb3 2004. It is not current .Could you edit and complete the profile with full details for us to respond.

[HappyHolidays]

Pappu, mine is EB3 2004, but I have new I-140 (EB2) approved and was trying to port dates, I called multiple times and sent mails to port my priority date nothing worked so finally I went for info-pass, they gave me this news

Is there any issue with any of the application? Is the employer under investigation? Have you been under any investigation/charged? But if the applicant was charged, they call for interview. You would know your application and employer better. Did they give you in writing that your application is suspended/having extended review?

[HappyHolidays]

I do not have any any investigation/charges, I am working for same employer for all these years - no issues (i dont know if there is any kind investigation on my employer)

they did not give me anything in writing, I did not ask for it (I was totaly down)

[open.247]

I am In same boat. Difference is I did not applied for portability from EB3 to EB2.
I am waiting and watching if dates move a bit faster in EB3. I dont have new company to apply for EB2.neither I financial i can afford.
If you know a reasonable active lawyer please inform.
:(

@HappyHolidays: Don't know for sure, but my minor daughter's I485 moved quiet a bit from one center to another and one office to another. One reason was her 485 got separated from rest of the family (stupid attorney filed with wrong fees and realised soon--refiled as the dates were still current. Ist petetion got rejected as axpected and 2nd kept taking rounds). In Aug of 2008, when dates became current her case finally moved to 'our ASC'. Later at infopass, i was told she was approved but was waiting for the Primary to be approved !! then Dates got retrogressed until 2010 ...and we were approved without an issue.

I will say sit tight and wait. Any pro-active action on your part may not help.

Wow did you just say 'stupid attorney' ?

It will upset a lot of people on the forum. Attorney is second to God for a lot of us.

Hi HappyHolidays, I am sitting behind you on the same boat. I am Mar'04 PD, who ported from EB3 to EB2 and got I140 approved in Apr this year only to have USCIS slam the door shut on my face again.
I got a similar notice last week and all it was that my original 485 application which was applied in Texas Center, got transferred over to Nebraska Service Center where my EB2 I140 is laying. Nothing to worry, at least till October. And God know what shenanigans USCIS will conjure up by then. After close to 9 years, and thousands of $$ to USCISC in fees, I'll be happily surprised when I receive the actual card.

There could be a couple of reasons for this to happen:

1. You have been selected for an interview. 2-3% of the cases are randomly selected for interview. If this is the case you will get a letter from your local uscis office. i had to go through this step and it took a couple of months to complete.

2. Background check/criminal stuff - uscis needs to do further background check on you or your employer.

3. If 1-485 processing is suspended indefinitely which can also mean that because there are no eb2 visas to issue, they will have to wait till october to move your case forward.

The good thing is that you will be eligible for ac21 once 180 days are complete.

Friends here is what has happened for EB2 this year and its impact to next year. Let us try to come up with ROW consumption from another angle.
- EB2 I/C probably used 22 - 24K this year. This gives ROW + M + P a wiggle room of 16 - 18K.
- When the brakes were applied that was the time they realized that EB1 will actually use up its entire cap this year, essentially EB1 would not lose anything. EB1 using its full cap was not a surprise considering that last year the Kazarian memo slowed down things, there was a huge reduction of I140 backlog and EB1C usage was quite high. Based on these factors I had made a prediction that Eb1 will probably not give any SOFAD this year.
- From 2011 v/s 2012 approvals for EB2 ROW Primary approvals are 507 to 330.
- Now for simplicity let’s assume that EB2 ROW, M & P were all equally impacted with EB2 I/C crossing the line assuming the demands were same this year as well we saw 330/507 = .65 of the approvals from last year. For simplicity I have assumed the ROW numbers from to represent ROW + M + P.
- Now .65 of 28 gives the range of 18. The figure of 18K gels well with the guesstimated value of 22K of what Eb2 I/C have consumed assuming the 40K allowed for EB2.
- So if we go by 18K then .35 of this i.e. ~ 6-6.5K was not satiated this year. This kind of wipes out ROW sofad for the upcoming year or at least 75% of it.
Let’s wait and see how things turn out when the FY 2013 starts in October. I believe it will take a minimum of 1 quarter for EB2 ROW to be current on the VB and then another quarter to run current ion terms of approvals. ROW can only give SOFAD when they are current in terms of approvals.

EB2 ROW will likely get current again in new visa year. ( October)
