EB2-NIW Case Approved - a year later
My case was non-concurrent (applied for I-140 and I-485 a month apart) and ROW (not India/China). Case was transferred to NBC from MSC at the end of January.
RFE was for medical exam received at the beginning of August and response submitted end of August (delivered Aug 20, updated to say received on Aug 28 🤷♂️). Almost a month later it says approved.
Could give more information as needed. I-140 was approved in late March but approval notice kept getting undelivered. So ignore what my timeline says on I-140 approval, which took 222 days and for which I applied in Aug 2020. An exact year later, I-485 updated to say my card is being produced. I assume I’ll get it in a week-ish.
Not sure if the probable government shutdown will delay things, hopefully not. #eb2-niw #eb2 #niw #i-140 #i-485

I-140 Approved. Still waiting on I-485? (Tx)
Hello! I filed concurrently I-140 and I-485 on 02/06/2020. My I-140 got approved on 04/05/2021. I am based in Texas. Does anyone know how long does it take for the I-485 to get approved after they already approved the I-140?
The last update for my I-485 is “Fingerprints Taken” and that was back on 08/19/2020. #i-140 #i140 #i-485 #i485 #texas #tx #approved #approval
I-140 EB-2 NIW PD 8/20/2020 Approved in 222 days (03/29/2021) Nebraska (NSC)
Evidence submitted: job applications in fields of proposed endeavor; employed at a different field at time of application; still looking for new jobs. 65 citations at time of application, two first-author, two second-author, 6 total; some peer review work; employer letter stating how my job helps in developing skills; personal letter explaining my goals; petition tied to how I’m addressing three points for NIW; three independent recommendations out of 5; some media coverage and recognition; of course also evidence of how it’s tied to national interest.
Had already obtained PhD in chemistry at the time of application, and was employed.
No RFE was issued.
Was on student F1-STEM-OPT status at time of application, although H1-B was already approved but was going to begin in October. Filed I-485 a month after filing I-140 so technically case is non-concurrent.
Still waiting for the actual notice to arrive in mail. I can raise the request if I don’t receive by April 13.
Update: law firm received my approval notice!
