Is anyone as lucky as I am? *contains irony*
I’ve never seen somebody’s timeline as slow as mine, but keeping hopes up (this is all I have) Even my for my EAD is taking forever

has your I-140 been approved? did you file I-140 in premium? i am wondering if thats what holding the process back
lucky boyDec 15, 2025
@Gary Roh what’s your category? You still haven’t any of the 3 approved?
lucky boyDec 15, 2025
@sam k also waiting for EAD and AP? or have them approved already?
lucky boyDec 15, 2025
@sudarshana Malya nothing approved so far (i765 or i131)?
lucky boyDec 15, 2025
@AR R I didn’t file in PP and my lawyer is one of those who advise against PP… I was wondering the same, but I heard people who also filled concurrently and got both AP and EAD approved even with a pending I-140
sudarshana MalyaDec 15, 2025

Waiting for both EAD and AOS since March 24th. My EB1A was approved in February. Me and my husband are ROW so our PD has always been current. I have no idea what is going on. I am severely depressed and exhausted and crying. My STEM OPT is expiring in 3 weeks.

@sudarshana Malya : Did you try contacting the congressman since it has crossed the normal processing time? sometimes it helps
sudarshana MalyaDec 16, 2025
congressman told to come in jan 2026
lucky boyDec 16, 2025
@Alloof Easy i765 approved?
lucky boyDec 16, 2025
@D 3 I’m so sorry you’re going through this, have you tried submitting an inquiry?
lucky boyDec 16, 2025
@sudarshana Malya how did you contact the congressman?

@lucky boy Yes, I submitted an inquiry outside of processing times and an expedite request. Didn't hear back. It's been 3 weeks since the expedite request and 11 days since the inquiry. THEY. DON'T. CARE. Not sure why they're taking fees but not working on at least EADs.

@lucky boy yes EAS is approved in june-2025
lucky boyDec 16, 2025
@D 3 my husband got his EAD approval 2 months after submitting the inquiry. You can try speaking with a live agent and request the status of your inquiry. When my husband did it, they told him when he would hear back.
lucky boyDec 16, 2025
@Alloof Easy what surprises me is not having even the EAD approved
Bekhzod UsmonovDec 17, 2025

@lucky boy how do you know NBC processing time is 3.5 months for I-485 ? and can you tell me how do submit an inquiry? I’m waiting for 4 months now. thank you!

Same thing here: filed concurrently 140 and 485 in Oct 23, had the biometrics directly done in Nov 23, then nothing happened until I changed the 140 to premium processing in April25, I 140 got approved within days, but since then no movement on the 485… even congressional inquiry did nothing… so frustrating
Bekhzod UsmonovDec 24, 2025
@D 3 I have the same thing as you
Bekhzod UsmonovDec 24, 2025
@lucky boy I did submit an inquiry and texted the Congressman still nothing from anyone

waiting for 485 approval , filed in Jan 2025
lucky boyJan 4, 2026
@beck beck you can check the USCIS processing times, it shows an estimate for 80% of the cases. Simply google it, it’s pretty straightforward
lucky boyJan 4, 2026
@Bekhzod Usmonov oh no, hoping for the best
lucky boyJan 4, 2026
@sam k my complain is not even having the i765 approved yet
