AOS I-797C transfer & USCIS WEB Contradicting

[Maleman 5]

Has anyone ever experienced a conflict regarding an AOS transfer case that stated on the (I-797C) it was transferred to the NBC, but concerning the same transfer, the USCIS WEB site stated it was transferred to the CSC? Needless to say, I will have to call the USCIS and see if they can clarify as to the whereabouts of our AOS. The concern we have is it lost!

UPDATE: As I anticipated, due to the discrepancy of our AOS transfer, it was imperative that I call the USCIS hotline. Overall, I was met with a very cordial response while dealing with the USCIS during the phone call. On the other hand, I’m still baffled by the conversation! Entailed in my experience you are initially greeted by a “Phone Screener,’ then if your circumstance is validated, you are then transferred to another agent. Within the first stage of the conversation the representative confirmed that our case was in transit from the CSC to the NBC. Then out of curiosity I asked the agent a series of questions, and all focused around whether or not we would encounter an interview having been transferred to the NBC. Keep in mind it is a USCIS policy that the applicant and petitioner must be present, in the same room, during the conversation. In fact, my wife being the applicant had to give permission for me to inquire about our case. When submitting each question, I was very articulate, spoke clearly, and each question my words were very logically placed.

In all fairness, I will be paraphrasing the agent’s response to my question. Nevertheless, I’m in no doubt of the result. The general gist of all my questions could be summed up by one question and that is since we are being transferred back to the NBC is it guaranteed that we will incur an interview? In more than one response, and with elaboration, the mediator stated that after researching our case at the CSC office they felt no problem existed with our case and may they elected to send it back to the NBC to have our GC processed. As most of you know this is contrary to what we have heard here on VJ. So, after a couple of more times attempting to reconfirm the statement, the agent then did an about-face and said that once the NBC receives your case you will then be setup for an interview at your local office. After hanging up the phone my wife and I look at each other with astonishment.

In summary, I guess the good news is our AOS is not lost. As well, at least when we go to the interview it will be more evident that we are closer to getting my wife’s GC. Bad news is we will have to take yet another (10) hour around trip drive to our local USCIS office and bear even more expenditures. I was presently surprised how fast we received service via the phone. Please keep in mind, we are not complaining, because we know many of you out here are experiencing far more serious dilemmas. Not sure this helps anyone out here. Nevertheless, I thought I would share our experience with a follow-up post.

In my opinion, you should just wait a little longer and see what will happen. I have heard of cases being transferred back and forth alot sometimes ending up in an interview and sometimes not. Just wait for an interview letter in the mail and check your online status as often as you like. Either way you will have an answer when they schedule your interview or else you will see online that the green card was approved without interview. I was stressed wondering which way our case would go, so I can understand your concern. Really all you can do is prepare any documentation you might need for the interview (there are posts on here documenting the necessary items to bring) and if you don't end up needing it then you are more prepared for ROC. If you do have an interview, I can tell you that ours was really fast and simple. Hopefully being so far from your local office, they will take that into consideration and not ask you to travel that far. No guarantee, but you can always hope. :)Good luck with your journey.

Thank you so very much for your kind delivery of insight and wisdom. We are prepared no matter the service center preparation site in fact, I believe that we are overly primed and ready. (Smile) As you have stated, I have seen other post sharing that their case transferred more than once. Again, thanks so very much for your reply.
