Is this the status on your case?
Ask me. I'll walk you through what it means for you, with data from the cases I follow.
Official USCIS wording
We are temporarily pausing work on your application because an immigrant visa number is not immediately available to you. Once an immigrant visa number becomes immediately available to you, we will resume processing of your application.<br><br> PLEASE NOTE: In the event that you have submitted a valid transfer of underlying basis request, then this Case Status Online message does <i><b>not</b></i> mean that USCIS has paused work on your application. Our systems do not currently have the capability to automatically update the receipt of a transfer of underlying basis request or Supplement J at this time. The message will be updated in Case Status Online, however, after USCIS takes some other action on the adjustment of status application (for example, issuing a request for evidence, transferring the application between offices, or approving the application).<br><br> For more information, please see the Fiscal Year 2023 Employment-Based Adjustment of Status FAQs page.
