⏳ EB-3 Skilled Worker Pending - India PD 2022-03

⏳ **Case Status: Pending** --- An EB-1 India primary applicant was approved on June 12, 2026, but the derivative (spouse) case remains pending after a field office transfer to Houston. A Tier 1 service request response contained an alarming but likely erroneous reference to 'denial' while simultaneously stating the file had just arrived and not yet been assigned to an officer. Primary EB-1 India case approved June 12, 2026 with Priority Date of March 31, 2022. Derivative spouse case shows fingerprints taken on the same date. Case transferred from NBC to New York Field Office, then again to Houston Field Office, arriving August 20, 2026. A Tier 1 service request filed August 17 returned a contradictory response containing the word 'denial' despite the portal status still reading 'Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken' — no denial notice issued, no officer assigned yet. The email contained broken grammar ('But I does looks like...'), strongly suggesting a typo or autocorrect error of 'delay' → 'denial' by a contractor agent. The case logic supports this: a Tier 1 contractor cannot issue a denial, and no officer had been assigned at time of the email. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1w6guud/bizarre_uscis_service_request_email_says_denial/)** *Source: Reddit EB-3 search* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
