⏳ EB-3 Skilled Pending - I-485 Interview Cancelled Twice Due to I-140 System Sync Issue

⏳ **Case Status: Pending** --- An EB-3 Skilled worker had their I-485 interview cancelled twice because the field office's local system still showed the I-140 as pending, despite it being approved at the Texas Service Center in July 2024. The applicant holds a physical approval notice but the digital file was not linked to the field office system. The case remains unresolved pending internal TSC-to-field-office data synchronization. Category: EB-3 Skilled. The I-140 was approved at the Texas Service Center in July 2024, with a physical approval notice issued. However, upon arriving for the I-485 interview at the local field office — on two separate occasions — the interviewing officer was unable to proceed because their internal terminal still reflected the I-140 as 'pending.' The officer confirmed this is a digital file linkage issue requiring TSC to push an approval flag update to the field office system. Despite presenting the physical approval notice and confirmed online case status, the system restriction prevented the interview from being conducted. The applicant is considering a Congressional Inquiry or contact with the USCIS Ombudsman to escalate resolution. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1whlm52/i485_eb3_interview_cancelled_twice_field_office/)** *Source: Reddit EB-3 search* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
