EB I-485 - primary approved but dependent pending
Husband's EB2 I-485 was approved but mine is still pending. We had previously been moving through all milestones at the same time (case received / biometrics complete / case transferred etc). Is it normal for there to be delay between primary and dependent approval? Any idea on expected time lag before I should become more worried?
Thanks!

Hello, I have the exact same situation. My (primary) application has been approved since early March, but my husband's (dependent) application is still pending until today. 12 days ago I received notification that his case was transferred to NBC. They said it's quite common for one cases to be approved earlier, but it's quite frustating.
