So your case transferred to Vermont SC now? Generally it should get transferred to a field office and not to these centers.

I got one physical notice (dated nov 8) stating that my application has been forwarded to NBC! while there was another online update the next day with a message that "On Nov 9, Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction"... called up hotline number and automated caller mentioned that it has been transferred to VSC!

Ideally it should be field office but i am confused here!! the same has happened with other people as well.. check this post "http://www.trackitt.com/usa-discussion-forums/i485-eb/1797126121/i485-case-got-transferred-from-tsc-to-nbc-to-vsc"

Hi,
Congrats on your approval :)

My wife and I will have our interview next week, we filed our case under the niw category.

Could you please let me know whether you and your wife filled out the I-864 affidavit from?

Thanks a lot
Posted by ashish22184
26 Feb 2018 #28
Thanks! I did not fill i864 form and it is my understanding that this form is not required for employment based petition except if your relative applied your eb petition and owns more than 5 percent of that enterprise!

Thanks ! I am on H1B .. Added below my experience

I had my interview at Newark office today... AOS interview was scheduled for me and my wife both... reached around 7:15 AM and requested combined interview for both I was called in around 10 AM... My officer was very courteous and nice! she had reviewed both the files and did the following
a) Asked us take OATH
b) Verified Passports
c) Birth certficate
d) Marriage Certificate
e) EVL - I was carrying supplement J form however that was not required (per IO since it was EB1C and filed concurrently - she was well aware of the process)
f) She asked us if we our visa status is current and if we used EAD/AP to enter US g) My medicals expired so i carried a new set of medicals.. she reviewed it on the spot She said everything looks fine but she will put everything in system to see if there is anything missing. Also mentioned that though VISA status is current as of today but in case quota expires she will mail my application back to Texas center and i will have to wait till new set of immigrant VISA is available
Overall it was a smooth experience. Now the wait game starts
