An EB-3 India applicant with a December 2013 priority date filed I-485 in November 2025 and has been transferred to Kansas City Field Office for non-local processing. The case has interview waived with multiple silent updates observed in early 2026, and the applicant is also planning an EB-2 upgrade with the same employer.
EB-3 India applicant with Priority Date of December 2013 filed I-485 on November 25, 2025. Both EB-2 and EB-3 I-140s are approved with the same employer. Biometrics were completed January 7, 2026. The case was transferred to Kansas City Field Office (non-local assignment). Interview has been waived and no RFEs or document requests are outstanding. Multiple silent system updates were recorded on January 24, April 3, April 14, April 15, and April 16, 2026. The applicant is seeking datapoints from others with EB-based I-485 cases at KC FO, particularly around post-transfer timelines and same-employer EB-3 to EB-2 upgrade scenarios.

Cases transferred to a non-local Field Office like Kansas City often reflect USCIS workload balancing rather than any issue with the case itself. Silent updates in clusters (as seen here on April 14-16) frequently precede adjudication activity — they can indicate officer assignment, background check completions, or final review stages. For India EB-3 with a 2013 PD, current Visa Bulletin cutoffs are a key gating factor; approval can only proceed when the PD is current. Interview waivers on employment-based AOS cases have become more common post-2023 for clean cases with no outstanding issues. Applicants at non-local FOs should generally expect similar timelines to local FOs once the PD becomes current, though KC FO-specific throughput data is limited.
