Case Approved
I-140 EB-2 NIW PD 8/20/2020 Approved in 222 days (03/29/2021) Nebraska (NSC)
Evidence submitted: job applications in fields of proposed endeavor; employed at a different field at time of application; still looking for new jobs. 65 citations at time of application, two first-author, two second-author, 6 total; some peer review work; employer letter stating how my job helps in developing skills; personal letter explaining my goals; petition tied to how I’m addressing three points for NIW; three independent recommendations out of 5; some media coverage and recognition; of course also evidence of how it’s tied to national interest.
Had already obtained PhD in chemistry at the time of application, and was employed.
No RFE was issued.
Was on student F1-STEM-OPT status at time of application, although H1-B was already approved but was going to begin in October. Filed I-485 a month after filing I-140 so technically case is non-concurrent.
Still waiting for the actual notice to arrive in mail. I can raise the request if I don’t receive by April 13.
Update: law firm received my approval notice!

Green card takes forever to get.
It took 18 months to receive my green card. I expected the same for citizenship, I was wrong. I applied for citizenship a few weeks ago, I got a letter saying biometrics wasn’t necessary, I assume it’s because I renewed my green card in 2019 and everything on my file is still valid. My appointment for interview and testing is set for the beginning of next month. Here’s hoping for approval and maybe a Ceremony on Independence Day.
Expidited Request Approved
I have a few question and I would like some feedback. I did an expidited request on April 6, and on the 8, of April I got a message saying new card is being produced. Today I got a message saying the Expidited Request Approved but I can’t find the message about the card is being produced. Is this an error is my EAD already shipped? PD Sept. 17, 2020.
GC in hand, when to expect ssn
hi guys, I called my local ss office as I didn't get any Social Security Card before interview. The gentleman told me no walk in due to covid, took my # and said he would call me back and give and appointment date. After 2wks I called back the office, the lady who I spoke to said I have to wait 12 weeks.
Anyone with the same situation as mine??
TIA.

I-130 Approved today!! USC filing for a parent through consular processing.
Here’s my timeline:
PD (Case received): 12/04/2020
Receipt Notice: 12/11/2020
Case actively reviewing: 1/19/2021
Case actively reviewing again: 4/8/2021
Case approved: 4/9/2021
I was honestly starting to lose hope because USCIS was so confusing. I thought my case was in Nebraska, but I called them and they said it was in Vermont. The processing times there were 28-36 months. But I decided to upload more documents on my online account and the next day they started reviewing it.
