EB1A pending in 15 months (concurrent)
Hello Folks.
I filed my EB-1A case and would like some recommendations from you all.
I submitted my I-140 concurrently in August 2024, and there was no RFE on the I-140. (Row 09272 XXX)
I got my fingerprint appointment and an RFE for the I-485 in September 2024 for my birth certificate and medical exam. I responded that same month and the case was updated same September 2024.
After 10 months I submitted my EAD combo card application (on June , 2025), and it was approved in 13 days.
Currently, I haven’t received any additional updates on my case. I’ve been waiting a little over 15 months now and I just requested a FOIA in the meantime.
Are these timelines normal? Should I upgrade to Premium Processing? Any comments are welcome.

do yourself a favor and upgrade to PP, unless you don’t bother waiting another year potentially.

looks like the timeline is not consistent. i see others get approved fast, while others take longer. i’m eb1c and my 140 was not moving for 16months then I upgraded to PP and it was approved after 45 days. i’m still waiting for the 485 though
