RFE i485
I submitted my application on July 2nd 2021.
I got an RFE on Sep 17th, Replied to the RFE next week.
12 October, I checked, it shows status biometric is scheduled. Does it mean that the RFE is cleared?
Because when I check the case history it does not show that RFE response was recieved.
If someone can help. #i485 #rfe #biometrics #i-485

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

6 weeks after Interview!! finally approved!! 😭😭
Indianapolis FO. No RFEs.
Took 7 months to get Bio appt!! I made multiple inquires. when my I-131 became “out of normal
processing time” I made a case inquiry and shortly after got scheduled for Bio. if you filed for combo and one of them is out of normal processing, make as many inquires as you can (I think Bio is faster now no?)
I think A week after Bio, I was scheduled for interview. As soon as I got the notification, I chatted with an agent through Emma to know the interview date ( if you can’t tell, my patience was running thin lol).
Interview day. Right before I sat down he gave me the white paper saying he will not make a decision today ( I was so bummed out especially seeing others get approved on the spot wit the same FO). my officer was so mean😭, he asked simple questions but each question was loaded with unnecessary minute details. At a point, he was almost yelling at me because I answered I don’t know to one of the questions he asked, he wouldn’t take I don’t know for an answer, (like I’m going to be honest and say I don’t know!) Never lie, better to say you don’t know than make up something on the spot. he kept pressuring me and trying to feed me answers . I think I spent almost an hour in there. with my partner it wasn’t that long.
The waiting: this was the hardest part, everyday i vehicles Reddit and Facebook and saw people posting how they were approved on the spot by the same FO, or very shortly after interview. I started imagining the worst case scenario. eventually I decided to move on hoping they would get to me eventually ( it was hard but I had to , for my mental health). Then after over a month of silence , I decided to try making an inquiry, I wasn’t expecting this to work because they do have 120 days to make their decision. I did it anyways, I make a request to get a call from a Tier 2 officer.
Officer called me after a while and I explained to her that I want to know the status of my application, I completed my interview, if they need anything just send me an rfe so I can move on with my life dammit! she was very nice and understanding and she forwarded my inquiry to the FO. I was expecting a generic answer but about a few days later, I suddenly got notification that nee card was being produced!! finally the wait is over. Hallelujah!! #i-485 #interview #approved #greencard

I-485 Pending on an Approved I-140 NIW
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, close to 90 now. 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; published just recently again, 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 on STEM OPT.
No RFE was issued for NIW.
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.
Approval notice never received since USCIS may have goofed up on address. Have raised service requests twice now.
Law firm received my approval notice! Two times. Each time I didn’t receive it. I am told it shouldn’t have any problems for the I-485 since I filed it separately.
I-485: Was transferred from NBC to Nebraska Service Center late January, but no update since that would request medical evidence. Been about 180 days.
I have had biometrics done already and have an approved AP/EAD card too.
So two questions:
1) Would this approval notice not being delivered have issues for me or impact my I-485 application, since they were filed separately from I-140?
2) When should I expect to hear from NSC? I am past date ranges of what Lawfully predicts my case should be adjudicated by.

i-765 expedite before I-485 ready to be scheduled for an interview (marriage based AOS)
Hey everyone,
I recently expedited my i-765 after completing biometrics. However, my I-485 never changed to “ready to be scheduled for an interview”. I’ve noticed this usually occurs first before you are approved for your EAD whether you are expediting or through regular processing. It seems my I-485 may be stuck at “fingerprints have been applied”. I’m curious if there are people out ther whom had their i-765 EADs before i-485 was ready to be scheduled?
thanks!!

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
If I use I-765 EAD as an identification @ DMV for renewing my driving license, will it activate my EAD?
I work with O-1A. Meanwhile, I received I-765 EAD due to my pending EB2/I-485. I do not want to work using my EAD at this point. If I use I-765 EAD as an identification @ DMV for renewing my driving license, will it jeopardize my O-1A? #I-765 #I-485 #EAD
