Hello all! I've been following processing times for the I-140 (like a hawk because my job is unstable), since I filed for EB2-NIW (RoW) in July 2019. I had received EAD/AP and done biometrics. The processing times for I-140 on the uscis website just kept getting longer and longer. But that changed for the better - processing time for my category (in Texas center) changed suddenly from 11 - 14 months, to 4 - 6 months today. I am now in the window to file a case enquiry. To all lawyers and experienced out there - should I file a case enquiry? WIll that help get this moving quicker, or could it open me up to any problems? Am pretty desperate to see a resolution soon.

I think if you can submit a service request according to https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ you should not have a problem. Some say that they received an RFE after submitting a request but there is no way to know if they were going to send one anyway just weeks later. Good luck.Nov 2018 - Package sent - EB - Texas Service Center
Day 1 - Package received at the lockbox
Day 12/34 - Case and Fingerprint Fee Received / Biometrics appointment
Day 112 - EAD delivered
Day 195 - Letter for missing I-693
Day 8xx - no news (retrogression) - current for 3 months now
EAD 1st renewal: 2 approved in 24 days, 1 in 133 days

Hello ShanG and cowboy370
I am in the same boat. I applied for i-140 concurrently on 07/31/2019. My priority date has changed all of sudden. It shows October 2019. My lawyer says that just wait and not to file a service request. I have no updates on application On uscis website yet.

Hi all - sorry I didn't provide an update. My I-140 was approved in early July 2020. So it took 12 months. I ended up doing a service enquiry in May, and I think it did help. I would highly recommend you do it if your case falls outside of the normal processing times (and I know the range is so wide).
Now I'm waiting for the I-485 (AOS) - the delay continues....
