Employment Based Greencard

Here is my timeline:

EB1C category filed at NSC

9/12/2016 - I-140 submitted
9/19/2016 - received receipt for 1-140
10/12/2016 - I-140 got approved
12/02/2016 - filed I-765 and I-485 together
12/06/2016 - received receipt for for I-485, I-765
1/19/2017 - received notice for biometric
1/25/2017 - received EAD/AP combo card for my son
2/1/2017 - biometrics completed for all
2/18/2017 - received EAD/AP combo card for myself
3/2/2017 - received EAD/AP combo card for my wife

Status of I-485 remained as " Fingerprint fee was received" for two of us and "Case was received" for my son, since Dec 2nd.

I think I am still within the timeline and hope this info helps other EB1C/NSC filers from the month of Dec'16.

Hi,
  I have filed I-485 with Texas Service Center in October 2016. Case status still says "Fingerprint Fee received". Based on the processing dates updated from USCIS website, my case is outside normal processing time.

Is anyone in the same boat as me? Confused as to what the next steps are. Please advise.

Thank you!

EB1C category on NSC - Nebrasca Service Center

Please find my timeline below:

02/19/2017 - I-140/I-485/I-765/I-131 Filed Together
03/03/2017 - Received USCIS Filing Receipts.

Waiting for my Biometrics.

People who filed in Jan, Feb or March 2017, please do reply to this thread and we can be in touch to discuss on the progress at each stage.

Regards,

Anyone who filed in Nov 2016, got their I1140 approved? Currently as of Jan 31st, processing date is October 16th. Do you know how long more will it take?

My case was transferred to NBC from NSC after I had submitted I-485 RFE response. My I-140 is already approved, and I also have the combo card. Anyone with similar experience?

EB3, NSC, ROW.

I-140 was received in May 2016 and it's still not been approved yet. Anyone in a similar situation? Any advice?

I talked to my lawyer 2 months ago and she said they will check periodically with USCIS and let me know if there is any update.

Good Afternoon Everybody,

Today, we received a Notice Of Action from USCIS. The package was sent and received on 03/09/17 at the Nebraska Service Center (Premium Processing)

The package sent contained the following (concurrent filing):

- I140 (Visa Petition with visa availbility Current as EB3)
- I485 (Green Card Petition)
- I907 (Premium Processing for I140)
- I765 (Employment Authorization Application)

The following was said:

I140 petition was received. I485, I907, I765 was rejected because of Visa category isn't available (which according to the last visa Bulletin, they are all current at the time of filing). They also talk about a form I-130 was rejected (we never even filed this form!!).

Now they are processing our I140 under non premium processing and sending back the rest of the application. It doesn't make any sense they just said that the visas weren't available and that was the reason of the rejection?!

I have no idea what happened when it was received at the Nebraska Center. They said now that they are sending everything back except I140 and we should receive the package in 10-14 business days. Everything was done by a lawyer.

It looks like somebody had no idea what they were doing. What a nightmare. Even the customer service had no idea.

Has anybody had a similar situation?

Here is the timeline FYI:

02/21/17: PERM Approved
03/07/17: Concurrent Filing Package sent to NSC (I140, I485, I907, I765)
03/20/17: Notice of action rejecting I485, I907, I765 but keeping I140 under no reason.

Any help would immensely be appreciated!
Thank you all in advance!

Hello all:

I submitted by i140 NIW application in July 2016. Received EAD card but no response yet in i140 approval. Submitted through TSC. Does anyone have a similar timeline and also have got no response or may have received a response from uscis?

Hi,

I wanted to share my experience and thank all the contributors to this forum. It has helped me tremendously in the very long and stressful process of getting my green card.

Here is my timeline.
- PERM filed: Nov 2015
- PERM approved: April 2016
- Filed I-140, I-485 on May 31st, 2016 for me
- July 2016: received EAD for me
- Aug 2016: Filed I-485 for my husband
- Oct 2016: received my husband's EAD
- Nov 2016, upgraded I-140 to premium processing
- Dec 2016 - I-140 approved
- March 3, 2016 - I-485 approved for me. My husband got a RFE :)
- March 10, 2016: GC delivered

It took 9 months to get my I-485 approved. It was very stressful, but now, all is better. We are supplying documents for the RFE next week and it should be approved pretty fast after that.

Good luck to everyone!
