The wait is over. Case approved!! EB2 ROW PERM based.

My case has been finally approved. EB2 ROW - PERM based application under L1B visa. PD: 03/28/2023 RD: 10/29/2024 RFE: Birth certificate (it had been sent in the original package but they asked for it again) No interview. Block: MSC25902 Case transferred to Non-local FO in Yakima, WA on 05/28/2025 according to EMMA live agent. I was lucky that one of the many times I contacted a live agent one of them gave me detail information about my case, including the date when my case was transferred from NBC to the Yakima FO. When they mentioned my case had been transferred I contacted EMMA the following days at different hours to confirm the information was accurate. I think chatted about 10 times with an agent in period of two weeks and 9 out of 10 confirmed my case had been transferred to Yakima, only one agent said it was still at the NBC. All the process was handled by the company’s immigration attorneys. I wish all the best to everybody. Keep hope and faith alive. You’re approval is coming soon. Feel free to ask me any questions about my case. UPDATE: I just received the approval notice for my wife’s case.

IR1 timeline

Hey guys we have finally finished up the process and just gotta wait for my passport to get back! America here we come 😁 Australia Based consular processing Started as CR1 turned to IR1 Timeline: I130 submission 9/8/2023 Case received 11/8/2023 Case actively reviewed: 21/4/2025 Case approved: 22/4/2025 Case sent to DOS: 25/4/2025 After submitting all documents case was DQ 16/5/2025 Interview Date received: 23/5/2025 Medical booked through medclinic for: 6/6/2025 Interview and approval 8/8/2025 This is a simplified version as I’m standing on a train heading back home 😂 interview went well. Make sure you photocopy original divorce decree documents, I brought the originals and they seems mad at me ☹️ but they were honestly fine, the person doing the interview was lovely and actually had a sense of humour. Questions asked: How did you meet? How was the wedding? Have you met her family? How many times and what was your longest stay in the US? Do you plan on visiting Israel or Palestine? This is very mentally challenging and still doesn’t feel real but don’t give up no matter how hard it gets.
