EB-1A – Yakima FO – Nov 24 Filer
Hi everyone,
EB-1A derivative (Germany) here.
Filed I-485 on 11/24/25, biometrics completed 12/09/25.
Case transferred to Yakima FO and no movement since.
Curious if anyone else is at Yakima FO with a similar filing date?

Yakima field office is usually very fast, they process cases within 8 weeks in average after biometrics.
