Started the internal GC process in October 2018. Today I-485 status changed to "we ordered your new card." My jail free card is finally on the way I guess. Hope everyone with pending I-485 gets your GC soon!

Congrats OP! Was your I-485 timeline normal? It took much longer than I anticipated. Also, did you file an I-140 concurrently with an I-485?

like

I140 filed concurrently and approved on 3/3/2020, so it took about 2 months.

Congrats! My case and timeline is very similar to yours. You should receive your card in 1-2 weeks.

I initiated the case July 2018 and PERM filed August 2018. Got my GC approved in October 2021. The total timeline looks about the same. 😊

OP - why was I485 transferred?

It really depends. In my case, pandemic might have played a role because the uscis offices were closed for a while.
