Employment Based Greencard

Here is my profile.

Visa category: EB-­2 ROW
Processed by: Nebraska Service Center

02/22/2017 Priority date
04/21/2017 PERM approved by DOL
05/15/2017 I­-140 & I­-485 filed concurrently with Premium Processing
06/05/2017 Case received by USCIS (I have no idea why delivery took so long)
06/07/2017 Check for filing fee cashed
06/14/2017 RFE on I­-140 issued
06/21/2017 RFE on I­-140 responded
06/23/2017 Biometrics appointment notice issued
06/26/2017 RFE on I-­140 received by USCIS
06/29/2017 ***I-­140 APPROVED***
07/13/2017 Biometrics completed

Now, final actions on the EB-­2 ROW visa category are going to be retrogressed according to the DOS Visa Bulletin for August 2017. This means my case will not be adjudicated from August 1 until at least October 1.

My question is: is there any remote chance my I­-485 will be approved before August 1?

I recognize it is a long shot (especially given the heavy caseload at the NSC), but I am still hopeful for the following reasons:
1. The I-­140 has already been approved and the biometrics completed. An interview will probably not be necessary (it is usually waived for employment-­based petitions), so I-­485 approval would be the last step in the long process.
2. I think my case is pretty uncomplicated (no criminal history, no dependents on the petition, no Class A medical condition on Form I-­693, which was filed concurrently), so I cannot imagine anything that could possibly trigger an RFE.
3. I did not apply for EAD/AP, given that I am already on H­-1B well within the expiration date.

Any thoughts and feedback would be greatly appreciated. I keep my fingers crossed for all my fellow prospective green­-card holders.
