I140 - EB1C - Nebraska processing times.

[shiva_82]

After 20 months of waiting including a 4 month wait after submitting a RFE response, my I-140 was finally approved today. It is such a relief. My 485 had been transferred from NBC to LIN last year for speeding up processing, hopefully they will transfer it back so I could get my GC at the earliest. Regardless, it is definitely such a relief that my I140 got approved!

Thanks to all the good hearted folks in this community who have been so supportive, encouraging and helpful. Thanks for all your kind words.

Still waiting for a response on my I140 RFE. It's now 18 months since I filed.

Need a suggestion - I responded to a RFE for my I140 on May 02nd. USCIS will now allow me to submit a premium processing request for my pending I140 starting Jul 01. It will already be 60 days since my RFE response was filed by then. I'm wondering if it's worth spending $2500 to request for premium processing of my RFE response (which would mean my case would be processed in another 15 days from then) or just wait as it would have been 75 days since I submitted my RFE response by then.

I have an EAD/AP combo card so my motivation to get my I140 processed quickly is with a hope that my 485 would be picked up for processing shortly after. I still have not submitted my medicals, as recommended by my attorney to wait until I get a RFE so significant time is expected for processing of my 485 even if it's picked for processing shortly after.

What would be your recommendation?

I hope and pray ur words become true....thanks mate.
No i dint get any RFE....I had an RFE experience with My l1A extn in 2018 and had attached very exhaustive list of mangerail duties and used the same for I140 or may be my I-140 was handled by someone who dint feel the need for RFE....I believe they asked emails for u ....i havdnt attached any emails though...Hang in there..ur approval is come soon. They have promosed to make cycles shorter, seems they will approve soon to clear backlogs.


I am worried for my EAD as my spouse is dependent on the same. My last L1A extn is in paper work and I-539 takes around 11 months...So i NEED this EAD or GC before Oct end.We had a very tough situation in 2019-2020 with job loss due to his EAD stuck in processing.

Sending u good luck wishes for ur case.!

Thank you.

oh by the way will there be any interviews for EB GC?

No I don't expect you to get an interview...

[L1A_asp]

Good. I still believe you will get your GC directly and soon enough. I expect to see your 485 be moved to your field office and then processed within a few weeks after that. Good luck.

Btw, did you get a RFE on your 140 and then got approved?

well...still nothing. I'm confused about which part of transferring my case to 'speed up processing' has actually sped anything up ????♂️

1 more week and it will have been 16 months since I submitted my application

I'm still waiting for a response on my 140 and they transferred my application which was originally at NBC to Nebraska for no reason.

If you had submitted your medicals along with the 485, there is a very good chance that you will directly get your GC instead of EAD.
