I-485 expedited ( but expediting is slow ) [merged threads]

Update -

 

Now 3 calendar months since interview.  

 

Tier 2 had advised that my case was with supervisor for "final review" on 4th Aug ( he was unable to say why it took 6 weeks to get from interviewing officer to supervisor ) and would be a "matter of days for adjudication" 

 

As an aside - I googled the phrase "final review" in USCIS context and could find no trace of it being used. Anybody here ever had their case referred to as being in "final review" ?

 

Called USCIS today and was told that the case was sent back to NBC for review.

 

I was under the impression that Field Office were the ones to adjudicate ?

 

I know NBC do all the background checks before passing to Field Office. But nothing was asked at interview that hinted at anything untoward that might need NBC to do more checks. Just reading through my file and confirming answers etc  

 

Anybody else had their case referred back to NBC post interview ?

Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS

Normally because there is something they do not like about it.

That was my first thought.

 

I googled "case sent from Field Office back to NBC" and got a lot of hits. 

 

Some saying what you said. Some saying further enqs required. Some saying NBC adjudication. Some saying back at NBC ( for notification letter or card printing ) because approved by FO but not updated.

Interviewed on June 22nd.

I-130 approved but I-485 awaiting review since.

 

On 23rd June it was showing as "we are actively" and nothing outstanding etc.

 

Today it has another update - "case is being actively reviewed by Uscis"

 

If already under review, why the new update when its still under review ?

 

Anybody seen similar ?

 

The optimist in me feels like they have looked at my case today are finally adjudicating.
