thanks all. @Mo Oni I140 was filed in sept 2024 (approved in 2 weeks with PP). Im ROW so not sure if that matters. @Najeeb Ullah
@Molly A: no dependent, just me.
Molly AMar 15, 2025
thanks for your response. I am also EB 1A. Trying to figure out if it takes longer for dependence as I have spouse and kids.

hey! huge congrats on your approval!!!
could you please specify, you didn’t submit birth certificate initially or they didn’t accept translation or something?
I’m preparing to submit I-485 based on approved eb1a (I-140) and trying to figure out beforehand, in what format birth certificate shall be, and why so many people get RFE for birth certificate, thanks!!

@Alice h thank you!! i submitted Birth cert and translation by my country org. i think those were not very formal and the translation was not recognized by a good US translation company, so it could be why they requested for RFIE. (my lawyer didnt flag this issue to me before and accepted my doc). as a result, i would recomemnd send in a copy of the ORGINAL BIRTH CERT along with certified translation from Immi translate + their notary mark. then you should be fine

@Molly A I have seen some post in the commmunity that they have dependences and got approval before me. maybe you should be fine!
