many congratulations, you submitted medical as inter file or after RFE? I got stuck in India due to L1A visa stamping admin process delay and medical step for my EB1C green card can trigger anytime. not sure how can I submit medical from India. My dependents are in USA.

Congrats, I have exactly same dates for EB1-3 w.r.t I-140 approval and I-485 NBC transfer date, filed concurrent on July 29 2021, hoping good news this week. Do you know which FO processed your case?
sd sethJul 11, 2022
congratulations!!May I ask how ling does it take for your status to change from case approve to new card being produce?
A
ACS ACSJul 11, 2022
submitted Medicals together with the I485 application, so didn’t get a medical RFE

Big Congratulations.

my case status hasn’t gone to “case approved” yet. went straight to “new card being produced”
A
ACS ACSJul 11, 2022
I do not know which FO processed case or if it even went to a FO.

Increasingly, it appears as a really bad idea to file concurrently
C
C UJul 11, 2022
@acs what the difference between case approved and new card being produced??
C
C UJul 11, 2022
congratulations 🎉
jet blueJul 11, 2022
CONGRATULATIONS 👏🏻 🎉 🎉.Texas is slow when it comes to approving marriage based though 😭

ACS ACSJul 11, 2022
@CU - to be honest, I actually don’t know the difference or if there even is a difference.
T
The FredJul 11, 2022
Are you ROW?
A
ACS ACSJul 11, 2022
not ROW, but doesn’t matter for EB1 no?
T
The FredJul 11, 2022
It would still. I’m just curious what moves the needle. My timeline is very similar to yours - although bios and I-140 were done earlier. I’m ROW - and still haven’t even been transferred. Have seen quite a few cases now to suggest that filing concurrently is not wise.
A
ACS ACSJul 11, 2022
@The Fred - I see.. as for filing concurrently - I cannot comment, but my lawyers had some reason for filing I485 3 months after I140 even though we had everything ready to be filed together. I just don’t recall why now….
T
The FredJul 11, 2022
There’s some evidence to suggest that getting the I-140 in and awaiting it generating a Receipt Number only for you to then submit the rest carries big benefits… As everyone else, just trying to make sense of all of this - because it’s so utterly intransparent.

I think it varies. Recently someone filed 140, 765 and 485 same day and got all approved in 65 days. The guy was shocked and was even asking if he could trust the notification. 65 days ! Only difference is it’s EB2 -NIW for Hospital Nutrition
A
ACS ACSJul 12, 2022
@ CU - today my case status changed to Approved
C
C UJul 12, 2022
ok. And that's what i am trying to understand, QQ - Do we still get two separate cards for 765 EAD and 131 or its just one card?
A
ACS ACSJul 12, 2022
I got one for EAD/AP.
T
The FredJul 13, 2022
@ACS - how long after the I-140 was approved did your I-485 transfer?
A
ACS ACSJul 13, 2022
20 days
T
The FredJul 13, 2022
Thank you - so, essentially two weeks from point of transfer to approval. That’s encouragingly fast.
A
ACS ACSJul 14, 2022
correct - I140 approved on June 2, Transfer to NBC on June 22, approved on July 8
