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.

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.
