FAD retrogressed after 485 filing. Does it shorten wait times for approval when FAD becomes current?
Context: EB1A (India) I140 PD Apr 19,2023
Filed for 485+765+131 Jan 2026.
Biometrics : Jan 2026
No EAD/AP yet
FTA1 on 485 in Mar 2026 (no movement since then)
If predictions turn out to be current and spillovers bring the FAD to April by early next year, would an already filed 485 help move things faster?
At this point I don’t expect movement on EAD/AP because normal processing times are over 10 months as per USCIS.
Can anyone having experience with a similar situation, provide an insight into how it went for you?
