Change filing office

[RachSegovia 0]

I was wondering if it was possible to change the destination where your aos is being processed. I am close to 2 other locations that seem to be processing quicker than the one i am at now. 

 

Thanks

No. It's possible USCIS might do it (as per an announcement from a month or two ago), but the only way you can change your field office is by moving.

Your field office is based on your zipcode: https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/field-offices

 

It is possible USCIS will transfer your case to another nearby office, per a recent memo. But I would not count on this, and it is not something you can choose or influence (unless you actually move to their jurisdiction).

Our Field office is Phoenix, AZ  were we went for AOS interview, but biometrics was done in Las Vegas, NV.  I was concerned when people on here were getting interviews in Vegas who had filed months after our I-485.  I shot an email for request of info, stating that others have already had their interviews.  I never got an  email back addressing the issue, but instead was given an appointment date a few days after the email.  I wonder if we would still be waiting..

The other 2 field offices are only 30 mins from me. And my field office is one of the longer ones for processing times. Ill see how things are going and if it seems like its taking a very long time ill look into it. I have already had my biometrics done at the slow location 😢

The location of biometrics is the ASC, which may or may not be the same as the field office. But the field office still follows the zipcode, even if the ASC is elsewhere.

Just keep in mind that this entire process is like a ballgame.....it is their field, their rules, their ball.... (not yours  ). Things will go a lot smoother for you if you keep that in mind......
