Greened! Self filed AOS EB1A
Sharing My I-485 AOS Timeline (EB1A, India) – Happy to Answer Questions!
I recently filed Adjustment of Status (AOS) for myself and my family without an attorney, and I’m happy to share my experience.
If you have questions about tracking, APIs, document lists, or anything else related to the process, please feel free to ask!
I know the waiting and uncertainty is tough, hang in there, and best of luck to everyone!

Key Takeaways:
Filed for myself and family without a lawyer—it’s very doable if you’re detail-oriented.
I opted NOT to apply for EAD (I-765) or AP (I-131), as my work status was already valid.
Used the online USCIS account for quick biometrics rescheduling; highly recommended.
The wait is real and can be stressful—try to trust the process!
Wishing all of you a smooth journey! And Thanks for all the help!
Let me know if you have any questions, want details on documents, API tracking, or anything else. Happy to help!

@Non Alien Thanks! When it moved to non-local FO, how did you know? Was it Emma? Or you saw FTA1 code and then asked Emma?
Non Alien25 de jul de 2025
@amdsk a I got a API update with no status change, checked with Emma and came to know
dmsgo a25 de jul de 2025
@Non Alien Thank you so much for detailed info!
Ashley M25 de jul de 2025
@Non Alien Your PD is 2025 and your COB is India, that PD is not current for Indias. is that a typo?
Non Alien26 de jul de 2025
@s s you can reschedule stating work reason. I did because I had a family travel and I had appointments next day, so just did it.
Non Alien26 de jul de 2025
@Ashley M PD mentioned is my petition filed date. my 140 priority is 04/15. sorry for the confusion
US Aspirant26 de jul de 2025
@Non Alien many congratulations for big milestone and thank you for sharing the details and much helpful, can you please let us know API status - FTA1 means what status in that stage
Non Alien26 de jul de 2025
@US Aspirant FTA1 is when all your background checks are marks completed and case move towards final adjustment. expect approval in few weeks.
Non Alien26 de jul de 2025
@s s don’t think rescheduling helps much. I have not applied for
765 or 131 and it didn’t help moving fast either.
kk m26 de jul de 2025

@Non Alien Congratulations!
For the past two months, the processing timeline keeps moving up and down every other week (2 to 7 to 8 to 5 to 4 and now to 5 months). My API updates are fairly similar to yours(FTA1 since June 29th) so wondering if you’ve noticed such pattern..
S P29 de jul de 2025
@Non Alien Congratulations. After how long did it take for the approval after the API update FTA1 ?
S P29 de jul de 2025
Sorry, I just saw the post, it was on June 28th. Thanks
