@I W my I-485 is based on my I-140 employment based EB-2. I did not get the interview notice. It was straight to decision. Detroit field office

Nice! Mine is EB-2 as well. Did my biometrics 3 months ago and waiting. It seems they are waiving interviews in some cases… Congrats!!

@I W it seems like it. My uncle’a friend also filed under EB and his case went straight to decision, no interview.

@michelle did you send medicals with 1485?
SR COSep 1, 2021
congrats @Michelle, that’s a good question when did you submit your medicals? they took my bio on 08/11/2021, so I’m wondering if I just submit my medicals right now instead of waiting “ready for an interview” in case they waive it! please let us know!
M
Michelle JSep 1, 2021
@andrea123 @Sant Cab Yes, I did submit my medicals along with my I-485 from the beginning

Is PERM required for EB2 (advanced degree/exceptional ability)..
and maniSep 1, 2021
michelle congrats this is great news. Did you apply for EAD? did you get this before approval?
M
Michelle JSep 1, 2021
@I W Yes, or you can file under EB-2 NIW. you will not require PERM, it is waived under EB-2 NIW
M
Michelle JSep 1, 2021
@and mani I did apply for EAD/ AP. Still pending. I guess it will be rejected now
