In order to decrease location-based disparities in the processing times for Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, and Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, USCIS will start transferring cases to field offices outside their normal jurisdiction for more efficient adjudication.
Applicants whose cases have been transferred will receive interview appointments and other related notices from the new field office handling their case. Please note, however, that biometric appointments will still take place at the applicants’ local application support centers.
