At about 11 months from your March 28, 2025 I-485 filing, this is still normal timing for an EB-1C case with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Many employment-based I-485s take 10 to 18+ months, and it’s very common to see no status updates after biometrics until an interview is scheduled or the case is approved.
You’re not outside normal processing yet. Most attorneys don’t start escalating until 18 to 24 months with no decision. For now, just monitor your online account and compare your receipt date to the posted processing times.
