our timeline
in the hope it helps all/anyone with your own journey I wanted to share ours - haven’t seen much in terms of what happens with the spouse if not approved at the same time so here’s how ours went:
Primary: L1A-EB1C ROW UK
spouse: L2-EB1C ROW France (Applied from UK)
- 23 Jan 2023: both filed concurrently (i140,i1485 + EAD & advanced parole applications) / i140 submitted with premium processing.
- 24 Feb 2023: i140 RFE (work responsibilities clarification) (both)
- 27 Feb 2023: biometrics taken (both)
- April 2023: EAD + AP approved (both)
- 2nd June 2023: submitted I140 rfe response
- 10th June 2023: i140 approved (both mine and spouse)
- 10th July 2023: primary I485 case transferred to NBC, Spouse remained at TSC
- 15th Feb 2024: primary I485 approved and new card ordered (no action on spouse)
- 2nd March 2024: primary green card delivered.
- 20th March 2024: Spouse I485 transferred from TSC to NBC
- 23rd March 2024: Spouse I485 approved.
- 5th April 2024: Green card delivered.
in total, around 14 months for both cases to be approved with cards in hand. our location in the US is New York but aside from fingerprints it doesn’t seem we ever moved to any specific local service center (at least we weren’t informed). the wait has felt like an absolute lifetime, especially being employment based and the turbulence in my industry but if I’m being honest, before I moved to the US I would have expected and accepted 14months wait for permanent residency so I feel it’s been okay overall. this app has been both a huge blessing being able to share/see peoples experiences but also very addictive and frustrating to see how much it varies on approval - I hope for everyone here your good news comes very fast and just remember, it might feel slow but it’s coming!
