@Gary Roh When did you get EAD? Was it approved at NBC or did it move to NSC for approval?

the part that doesn’t make any sense is that cases with later PD and RD get approved in the same field office, so there is no real queue i am guessing at UsCis
Kevin 123Jul 11, 2025
@Ashley M you are correct , they are not following any queue either on RD or PD I See people who received GC IN less than 3 months with PD 2020 in recent times

@jim camp Might be worth checking congressman or maybe outside processing time? Is your case at a field office?

@Kevin 123 @Ashley M I agree they don’t go by PD as long as it is current. Frustrating I know. Just waiting and if it is beyond reasonable time then trying congressman helps. Last resort is mandamus which usually does the trick.

@Kevin 123 mine is manual filing. Only online filing can check API updates
