EB3 ROW Timeline
Hi Everyone,
I have been a silent reader of this forum for around a year now. It has been very helpful. I am going to share my timeline to hopefully provide some help for others. Just remember, please do not become obsessed with all these post. Be patient and do not be afraid to ask questions to your attorney and/or USCIS office.
I used an attorney through this process.
I applied for a EB3 greencard, concurrently with being here on a valid H1-B work visa.
10/05/2017 - PERM Application Submitted.
03/20/2018 - PERM Application Approved.
05/22/2018 - Concurrent filing of I-140, I-485, I-765, I-131.
05/24/2018 - Application Received.
06/06/2018 - I-140 Approved.
(premium processing filed).
06/04/2018 - Biometrics notice received. Appointment scheduled for 06/13/2018.
06/13/2018 - Biometrics completed.
07/16/2018 - I-765 Approval.
I-485 Transferred to NBC.
EAD/TD Combo card received.
08/17/2018 - Interview Scheduled for 09/13/18.
09/13/2018 - Interview held at Jacksonville (FL)
(IO stated that the case must go back to NBC due to greencard retrogression. He indicated that the application was fine, no concerns, but could not approve on the spot. Stated that the new calendar year for greencards start October 1st 2018 and the retrogression should be lifted to become current for that category)... This did occur.
12/01/2018 - Online USCIS case status still showing "Interview scheduled for September 13th 2018".
Called USCIS and made inquiry. Was told that no decision has been made yet. Did not pursue Level 2 at this time. Although my plan was to call again in January and ask for Level 2.
12/28/2018 - Online USCIS case status changed to "New card being produced".
01/02/2018 - I-485 Approval letter received (letter stated that I would receive the Greencard in the mail within 3 weeks).
01/05/2018 - Greencard in hand.
I hope everyone receives the news that they are looking for. I will not be posting any responses to this thread.
All the best for 2019!
