When I can expect a GC
I'm wondering if anyone is currently in the same boat as me and/or a few months earlier than me and if they have any updates on expected processing timelines. #timeline

would you mind me asking what was the RFE for? also did you get receipt for I485J?
I am EB3 as well but I submitted on Oct 26, 2021. so I am far behind from you.
m qDec 20, 2021
yes I received the receipt notice about 6 weeks after filing. the rfe was for a medical exam.
m qDec 20, 2021
@a d which part are you on?
U PDec 20, 2021
yours does looks like the fastest processing so far for EB3. From the recent trend I have seen, it takes 3weeks to 2moths for them to adjudicate i485. And I believe you did get rfe in that time frame. also I have seen anytime between 1 week to 2 months for approval after medical rfe replies. All the best

*after i485j receipt, it takes 3weeks to 2 moths*

@a d have you received anything from them? like biometrics or medical rfe? surely at least a receipt notice?
@U P thanks for the information bro! I'll update here if anything changes. I expect you would've gotten your receipt notice by now and probably biometrics will come soon.
m qDec 20, 2021
I see, did you submit a medical exam with initial application? might be why you didn't get an rfe. mine is being processed in Nebraska.

AFAIU the 485J is just a supplementary form - everyone files a 485.
