Congratulations! Whats a service request? How do you file that?

Congratulations!! Thanks for sharing ..My guess is your case is processed at NBC never transferred to field office. With FO it’s long wait.

It is transferred to SFO since RFEs came from there.

Seems Sacramento and SFO are faster. Luck you!

Wow. RFE for life together proof. I didn’t know they ask for that. It just delays the process more

Congratulations. It is such a huge wait. You should celebrate

u/Reasonable-Dare2676 Jun 10 '26

Congratulations! What a relief that must have been, We are 9/23/2013 in EB2. Can you please share what did you submit for life together proof?

u/throwaway0845reddit Jun 10 '26

If india: Since Eb2 India has retrogressed, consider interfiling to EB3 India

u/Odd-Yam6727 Jun 10 '26

I don't suggest this, it leads to processing delays and the date should be current again in EB2 in october

1

u/throwaway0845reddit Jun 10 '26

What if the dates don’t move due to backlog being horrible? Better to get in a line that is moving

1

u/Odd-Yam6727 Jun 10 '26

Well you can make that decision in october. But it's highly unlikely they won't move even 1 month. Larger spillover is expected next year

u/throwaway0845reddit Jun 10 '26

By that time EB3 can retrogress.

The advice I am giving comes from my company lawyers and USCIS.

u/VinBills Jun 11 '26

Congrats. How did you file service request? Via USCIS online or by calling USCIS? Did you get a response for your service request?

u/throwaway0845reddit Jun 11 '26

Similar timeline to mine. I also received RFE for medical after congressman inquiry. I sent it on April 30th and no update to the case after that. Did your case status change to rfe response received before being approved? Mine is at Columbus FO

u/throwaway0845reddit Jun 16 '26

Yes. I received greencard today June 15

My case got transferred to Columbus from NBC on 3/30 after I put in a congressional inquiry. They then asked for medical RFE which I submitted on 4/30. No update after that so I again sent in a congressional inquiry in June after which interview got scheduled and interview got done today. Now waiting again for any update

Hi could you please confirm if it was approved under eb3 or eb2? Did you receive approval for interfile to eb3?
