processing logic
hi community! does anyone understand the logic behind processing times? my spouse’s EB1-A I140 has been approved in November 2022, our country’s pd is current -our pd is 8/3/2022 and we submitted I485, I765 and I 131 on december 5, 2022. until now, we have only received the eads mid may. if anyone else is in this situation please reach out. I keep checking case status for at least I131 because we need to go back to our country to get school diplomas for the kids to get into university but I don’t even think that’s a valid reason for an expedite request. If very few from our country have cases pending, how long do we still have to wait? medical has been submitted with I485 and it’s EB1a. what do you think, should we expedite the I 131 at least? USCIS processing times says 20 months which is crazy. any thoughts?#eb1a #i485 #i131

9.7 months according to historical processing time chart. Google it, I found it very accurate

no one really knows the logic. my colleague working at the same university got her GC in 5 months and the EAD and AP never got approved.
the EAD for me and my wife was approved in less than 60 days. the AP was approved in less than 4 months. then finally our GC got approved last week after ~8 months.

congratulations @F A - I don’t see many eb1a cases that are getting approved lately

I applied EB-1A concurrent without medicals @TSC in August 2022 and my I-140 was approved on 01 September 2022. Since 10 months I have been waiting. No EAD/AP, no transfer yet. Few lucky ones are getting their EB-1A approved within 3-4 months. it’s very random. If your EB-1A case is not @ TSC, consider yourself very lucky.

My PD is 2016, which is current for the EB-1A as of July visa bulletin.

@S SS it’s at msc national benefits center

@S SS maybe you should submit the medical - i was under the impression that if you file concurrently, you get approved for both.

@Suzy K 👍Cool, NBC is like an express lane. Maybe submitting the medicals is a very good idea but not sure where to send. it’s very easy for it to get lost.
