Greened! Self filed AOS EB1A
Sharing My I-485 AOS Timeline (EB1A, India) – Happy to Answer Questions! I recently filed Adjustment of Status (AOS) for myself and my family without an attorney, and I’m happy to share my experience. If you have questions about tracking, APIs, document lists, or anything else related to the process, please feel free to ask! I know the waiting and uncertainty is tough, hang in there, and best of luck to everyone! Case Overview Employment Category: EB1A Country of Birth: India Priority Date: 02/03/2025 Lockbox: Dallas Notice came from: NBC (National Benefits Center) Timeline Application Delivered to Lockbox: 02/03/2025 Notice Date: 02/07/2025 Biometrics Notice (Online): 02/08/2025 Biometrics Appointment: 02/12/2025 (rescheduled online) EAD (I-765): Did not apply AP (I-131): Did not apply Interview : Waived on 02/13/2015 I-485 Approval Date: 07/20/2025 Green Card Produced: 07/24/2025 API & Status Updates: No Status Change - Timestamp Updates: 05/09 06/14 06/18 07/09 -> Non Local Field Office 07/15 -> Local Field Office API Codes/Other Key Dates: LDA: 2025-07-24 H008: 2025-07-20 FTA1: 2025-06-28 FTA0: 2025-02-13 IAF: 2025-02-03 Key Takeaways: Filed for myself and family without a lawyer—it’s very doable if you’re detail-oriented. I opted NOT to apply for EAD (I-765) or AP (I-131), as my work status was already valid. Used the online USCIS account for quick biometrics rescheduling; highly recommended. The wait is real and can be stressful—try to trust the process! Wishing all of you a smooth journey! And Thanks for all the help! Let me know if you have any questions, want details on documents, API tracking, or anything else. Happy to help!
