I checked the status online, it says ‘Case Transferred’. Is that bad?

The status ‘Case Transferred’ means that your case has been transferred from one processing unit to another. This transfer may occur for different administrative reasons and, in most cases, it is not a negative indicator regarding your EB-1 visa application.

Often, this change aims to optimize the distribution of workloads and therefore accelerate case processing.

It is important to emphasize that this change is common in the United States immigration system and does not necessarily imply problems with your petition. Detailed case tracking and transparent status updates may be signs that the system is acting as planned. However, if you have doubts or if the situation becomes more complex, it is essential to follow immigration laws and consult qualified professionals who can offer specific guidance for your case.

Also remember to be wary of miraculous promises of quick results, especially in marketing campaigns that offer solutions without legal backing. Proper navigation through this process requires caution to avoid scams and ensure that all steps are conducted in compliance with U.S. regulations. Staying well informed and seeking specialized help is always the best strategy when it comes to immigration matters.
