I just had a chat with an Emma live agent, asking about where my i485 is processed currently. They said "we recently gave you this info. Nothing has been changed after that". Wow. I didn't know they have my convo history. I occasionally check my status with them like 3 times a week. Maybe I should stop bothering them?
Wondering if somebody has been approved for their I485 after 4/6.
In our tracker (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rg0ZqadJ3_fd8pWQ9WoDpzZCU6KQEJ5vX1vUkd0DKXI/edit?pli=1&gid=1830186092#gid=1830186092), nobody has been approved since 4/6. It's just that people didn't share it?
ROW. Non restricted countries.
I485 RD: 4/6
Biometric: 4/22
Silent on 4/30 (most likely the background check)
Silent on 5/6 - Still NBC, no interview update yet.
I guess my case passed the additional background checking point in 7 days, which I think pretty reasonable timeline.
Let me know if this is an unreasonable guess
For I-485, I didn't know the transfer to a local office is required for the final review and decision. I thought it can be done within NBC.
And, is there anyone who got a "mail" notification when your case was transferred to a local office?
FYI, this is my chat with a live agent on 4/30/26.
PD: October 2023 (I140 approved in 2024) EB2 NIW
I-485 filed on 3/31/26 (Elgin)
Biometrics complete on 4/22/26 at Elizabeth NJ
Interview waived on 4/28/26 according to Emma (no update elsewhere)
Hope: Approved in late May. ROW. Non 75 countries
Too optimistic? 😇
