๐ **Case Status: RFE Received**

An EB-3 India applicant with a January 2014 priority date has two paper-filed I-485s (LIN) that became current in November 2026. After moving and filing a paper AR-11, the address was not updated on the case file, and there is confusion about whether correspondence should go to the NBC in Lee's Summit or the San Diego field office that issued a medical RFE.
This case involves two paper-filed (LIN prefix) I-485 applications for EB-3 India with a priority date of January 2014, which became current in the November 2026 visa bulletin. The applicant relocated in summer 2026 and filed a paper AR-11 address change on September 28, confirmed delivered via FedEx. As of October 23, a USCIS agent confirmed the address on both cases still reflects the old address.
A medical RFE was issued in June 2026 from the San Diego field office, with the response received by USCIS in August 2026. However, a USCIS agent stated the cases are currently located at the NBC (National Benefits Center) in Lee's Summit, Missouri โ creating uncertainty about which office should receive a case-specific address-change letter.
Key administrative challenge: Paper-filed cases with LIN receipts have no online account access and are not eligible for E-COA (Electronic Change of Address), making address updates entirely dependent on paper AR-11 and manual processing. The split jurisdiction between NBC and a field office further complicates ensuring mail reaches the applicant.
