Employment Based Greencard

This forum was very helpful in setting and managing my expectations. Overall the process is very cumbersome, inefficient and full of frustration, but “baggers can’t be choosers”… I’ve been working for the same company since 2012.

Here is my timeline:

ROW, NSC, EB2
Dec 15, 2016 – RERM filed
Mar 13, 2017 – RERM approved
May 11, 2017 – I-140 (premium) + I-485, I-765, I-131
June 30, 2017 – Biometric appointment
July 20, 2017 – EAD received
Nov 15, 2017- I-485, Application was transferred to another office for processing
Dec 19, 2017 – Interview notice
Jan 19, 2018 – Interview (San Francisco office) – short straightforward interview based on I-485. About my job IO asked only my job title. They did not issue RFE for I- 485J before the interview, however, I am glad that I had it in hands because during the interview IO specifically asked for it.
Feb 5, 2018 – approval notice.
Feb 9, 2018 – GC received.

Good luck!
