I-485 processing times
so my I-485 has been at NBC this whole time. everything else (I-140, I-765, I-131) is approved. I wanted to check my processing time but there’s no option for NBC on the USCIS website. where can I check the processing times? how long does it usually take for I-485 to be approved after I-140 approval?

for I-485 the timeline is your local field office. just select that from the dropdown and you should be good.

@priyanka thank you. do you know how long it usually takes to transfer I-485 to the local office?
Priyanka GautamAug 4, 2022
everyone’s timeline is different. A lot depends on your processing center etc

We have very similar timeline. From what I have asked from others, you have to wait at least two weeks to know which FO your case is assigned to. You might wanna ask Emma which FO too.

@pending I-485 thanks. I have been waiting more than 6 months but they haven’t transferred my I-485 yet so I don’t know what my field office is. May I ask where your FO is? is it in the same city where you live?
Priyanka GautamAug 6, 2022
yes the field office is where you live. Unfortunately I have been waiting for 17 months and my case is still at NBC. PD- mar 12,2021

@priyanka I’m sorry you’ve been waiting so long. I heard some FOs (Texas, Florida, Columbus Ohio) are so busy that sometimes they send the cases to other FOs to be processed. I hope they’d do that to our cases soon

thanks beulah. The sad part is my case is still sitting at NBC!

I learned from emma/call that my 485 NIW based is transferred to FO Ft Myers from NBC in July 2022. I live in Texas. PD April 2018. RD July 2021. I am still waiting for approval.

@Azi thanks for sharing. wow that’s a long time. are you using your EAD based on pending I-485? I’m wondering how safe it is to use the EAD without AOS. my I-140 is approved
Azi AAug 10, 2022
@beulah yes, I am using EAD based on pending 485
