Case Approved
My EB1-3 journey finally coming to an end
Sharing my experience and timeline here.. it has been a long and arduous journey with many twists.
Visa - L1A
26 Dec 2019 - I140 filed (Priority date)
28 Oct 2020 - 140 RFE issued
30 Oct 2020 - I485 filed
30 Dec 2021 - responded to I140 RFE
24 Feb 2021 - I140 approved after responding to RFE
Feb 2021 - I485 transfer from NBC to SRC
Mar 2021 - biometrics applied to case
Nov 2021 - Courtesy letter issued for medicals of primary applicant. I submitted medicals for self and dependents
28 Apr 2022 - I485 transfer from SRC to NBC
1 Jun 2022 - New card being produced for primary applicant. RFE issued for dependents
I can only assume that the medicals I submitted were not applied to my dependents cases. I’m getting ready to resubmit their medicals once the RFE letters arrive. But there is light at the end of the tunnel!
Good luck to those of you that are still waiting. Have patience and don’t lose hope!
