Website to check processing time
Hi -

I applied from New York (EB3) with a priority date of April 2015. Received my EAD card in Jan 2016. How do i check the processing time on the website for New York applicants? Can you please provide me a link which gives a sense of how long it takes for GC approval once i get my EAD card. It's been 2 months since i received my EAD card and haven't heard back on the GC.

Thank you

EB2 ROW - Currency priority TX - I485 no progress.
Submitted GC app on March 1 2015 to TX. Priority is current (rest of world). Received EAD & Travel approval very fast (2 months). After that there has been no update on my case. 1 year is over since submission.

TX center crossed my application processing backlog date in Nov. I submitted an online SR, they responded 3 weeks later saying wait 60 days. In Feb, after 60d, I submitted another SR (this time over call). They responded 3 weeks later saying wait 6 months with no explanation for the delay. Very irresponsible on USCIS's part.

How to find out what is doing on? Should I keep submitting online SR before the 6m wait now until they approve the I485? Since 1 yr is over I guess most likely I will get a REF also for a new medical.

My experience below
Thanks to all who have post in this forum. Your posts have been really helpful to dissipate my frustrations and stress due to the delays of this process.

My case is an EB2 class (employer filed). I was under a H1b visa applying with my family (wife and son) with H4 visas.
H1b visa expiration date was Feb-4-2016
We are from Mexico.

Service Center: Nebraska (NSC)
Application Forms: I-131(AP), I-765(EAD) & I-485(GC)
USCIS Received Date: Sep-30-2015
USCIS Notice Date: I-131 & I-765(Oct-5-2015), I-485(Oct-17-2015)
Biometrics Date: Nov-3-2015 (Seattle)
Approved Date: I-131 & I-765 (Jan-26-2016). Thankfully it was approved 9 days prior my H1b visa expired.
EAD/AP Combo Card Received in mail: Feb-3-2016
Green Card Approval: Feb-19-2016
Green Card Received in mail:Feb-25-2016

I hope you find this helpful. Patience, politeness and being optimistic is the key to reach the goal.

Best Regards,

switching jobs after green card
All – a quick question (hopefully). If my green card were to get approved tomorrow and I were to get my green card in the mail a week later, how quickly would I be able to switch to a new job? Is there a legal requirement (i.e. by the US government) for me to stay at my current job for a certain period of time once I receive my green card? Or is it as simple as, once I receive the physical green card I can switch jobs. Also, once you get your green card, do you have to get a stamp of some sort on your passport?

EB2 in process-timelien
My wife and I are Canadian citizens living in Michigan on H1-B visas (both of us) and have applied for Green Card through the EB2 process. Our case is being handled in Nebraska. We have a 2 year old son who is on a H4 visa. We both hold PhDs and are hired as full-time tenure track professors in two different universities. My wife is the main applicant and our son and I are both dependents on her application. Below is our timeline up to this point:

12/2/14: Wage determination filed
2/12/15: Wage determination complete
3/20/15: PERM filed
10/5/15: PERM approved
10/23/15: Medical examination completed
11/13/15: I-131, I-765, I-140 (premium processing) and I-485 filed (concurrent)
11/17/15: I-485 application received at USCIS office
12/1/15: I-140 approved
12/10/15: Biometrics notice received. Appointment set for 12/16/15
12/15/15: Biometrics completed ahead of schedule as walk-in (proof of travel provided at office)
12/16/15: Advance Parole for our son was approved/received
1/6/16: I-512 for myself and my wife approved
1/14/16: EAD combo card received

Since then, there has been no other activity. Since November 2015, it has been over 3 months that our application is being processed and its nearing four months. Any thoughts?
