300 days? π³! Please what is your PD? How long have you been current?
J A. π±π§πΊπΈApr 28, 2024
PD is July 2023 - Iβve always been current @Rijo Rijo
Rijo RijoApr 28, 2024
@J A. π±π§πΊπΈ, EB1C cutoff based on April VB is Nov, 22. How is July 2023 current?
J A. π±π§πΊπΈApr 28, 2024
@Rijo Rijo Thatβs not correct. EB1 for other countries of chargeability is Current
Rijo RijoApr 28, 2024
Oh sorry@J A. π±π§πΊπΈ, I read that wrongly. I was looking at EB3.
Yeah, you are current. What was the reason that USCIS has given to you for this delay?
J A. π±π§πΊπΈApr 28, 2024
@Rijo Rijo I believe it was due to the Texas Service Center drastically reducing the number of I-485 transfers to NBC last year. My case remained at Texas for 6 months with no one looking at it and then in December of 2023, they did a mass transfer of thousands of I-485 applications to NBC, including mine. After my case has been transferred to NBC I started seeing some movement (RFE, transfer to field office, etc.).

@J A. π±π§πΊπΈ, WoW! Good to know that something is happening for you now!
Was the Feb 6 RFE for medicals? And how fast is the field office in Santa Ana?
J A. π±π§πΊπΈApr 28, 2024
@Rijo Rijo no they asked me to submit the I-485J to make sure that Iβm still working for the company that sponsored my EB green card. I submitted with the RFE my original birth certficiate as I hadnβt submitted it with the original packet and wanted to avoid a second RFE. Honestly I have no idea how fast the Santa Ana office is, I saw some people on reddit mentioning that they received their approval 4-8 weeks after their application was transferred to the Santa Ana office. I hope that I will have a similar timeline.
Kevin RoweApr 28, 2024
it'll be a special day when you get that tick
J A. π±π§πΊπΈApr 28, 2024
@Kevin Rowe Definitely. I canβt wait for that day.
Rijo RijoApr 28, 2024
@J A. π±π§πΊπΈ, I see. So, you had submitted i485 earlier? Are you not concerned about it expiring? How will you get your original birth certificate back? And did you get RFE for public charge? So many people got that recently.
Fingers crossed, Santa Ana office responses soonest!
J A. π±π§πΊπΈApr 28, 2024
@Rijo Rijo you mean my medicals? yes i submitted them with my initial I-485 package. They wonβt expire before July 2025 so I should be good.
I meant that I submitted a copy of my original birth certificate.
I didnβt get an RFE for public charge although I hadnβt filled the section initially. But I resubmitted the section to USCIS as part of the I-485J RFE I received in February to avoid receiving a second RFE.
Rijo RijoApr 28, 2024
@J A. π±π§πΊπΈ, you are good to go!
Keep the faith and pray! God will do it for you soonest.

PD June 2023. EB1-A- I submitted I485 in Jun 2023 and still waiting
T LApr 29, 2024
@J A. π±π§πΊπΈ when was your i140 approved?
J A. π±π§πΊπΈApr 29, 2024
@T L July 2023, approved in 10 days with premium processing
T LApr 29, 2024
@J A. π±π§πΊπΈ so, you say that your i485 was awaiting transfer for 6 months. well, so premium process did not make a differenceβ¦ my i485 was transferred the following day after my i140 was approved in 6 months of regular proccessing.
J A. π±π§πΊπΈApr 29, 2024
@T L exactly, premium didnβt make sense in my case unfortunately
T LApr 29, 2024
@J A. π±π§πΊπΈ this is all depressing. Well, we are all still hopeful π€£
N BMay 10, 2024

J A. π±π§πΊπΈMay 10, 2024
@N B good luck! iβm still waiting
