Hello,
I had applied for GC under EBa1 category under premium processing, which was denied after an RFE based on 1 out of 3 criteria the other 2 were satisfied. My attorneys believe USCIS had erred since they did not even mention why they denied the strong evidences they just mentioned the weak evidence as the reason of denial and completely overlooked strong ones. We filed an appeal i290B with them and roughly 25 days after we submitted the brief, my case status changed to:
'Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction.
On August x, 2017, we transferred your Form I-290B Notice of Appeal to the Commissioner, Receipt Number SRCxxxxxxxxxx, to another USCIS office. That office now has jurisdiction over your case. We sent you a notice that explains why we moved your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your notice by September 2, 2017, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.'
Under what circumstances would this occur? I am confused because if it was a workload issue, it would have transferred the case to another AAO office, right? Instead it transferred the case not to the original USCIS office which evaluated my petition, but to a new office. It kinda came off a bit weird. I would greatly appreciate any opinion on this.
Thanks
