Employment Authorization Cases Being Moved to Texas

If you have a recent employment authorization case, do not be surprised if USCIS sends you a transfer notice. To spread out the work more evenly, the agency is sending many of its employment authorization applications to the Texas Service Center. When USCIS transfers applications between service centers, it issues a transfer notice. All the notice means is that your case is being transferred. A decision has not been made.

The agency is still trying to ensure that it is making decisions within 90 days. If you move your residence, you are obligated to make USCIS aware of the change. This is important. If you move addresses and USCIS does not know, your card may not arrive to the proper address.
