I-485 Processing Time - Phoenix AZ + Concurrent vs Non Concurrent application question
Hi guys,

I am applying for EB3 category GC.
 
I had two options
      1. to apply for concurrent processing (I-140 "premium" & I-485) on or after August 1st, 2016 since my PD will be current on August
      2. to apply for I-140 "premium processing" now and once approved apply for I-485 on August (hopefully early August)

Now, my question is that by choosing option 2, do you think I made the best choice. i.e apply for I-140 premium processing first then apply for AOS afterwards, or do you think I should have waited until August and applied for both (I-140 & I-485) concurrently.

PS: I filed I-140 "premium processing" a day ago so It might get approved sometimes early August. My thought process was why do I need to wait for a week or more to apply for concurrent application, thinking that concurrent won't make a big difference.
  
With that said, I know that concurrent I-140 & I-485 application gets processed in Nebraska Center NSC however, my application would be processed in Phoenix, AZ center (according to USCIS website) since I am not doing concurrent and based on my state.

Unfortunately, I was trying to find some posts regarding Phoenix, AZ processing time but it doesn't seem that people have some experience with that center.
Is there anyone by chance who applied at Phoenix , AZ center and how is the timeline & the overall experience? Also, what do you think about my choice of option 2.

Thanks,
