No update. As per fingerprint date (when processing starts), it would take at least 4 months as per Texas Service Center processing time. Case are processing for Feb 25, 2014, but we also know many people got approvals despite confusing processing time which is NOT first come, first serve basis.
4 months would be around first week of October. Lets see.

Any updates ? It is almost 5 months and there is no update on my. There is no way to create even a ticket that someone had looked at case or not as it is under normal processing time.
This is really slow; similar to waiting for priority date to be current.

no, nothing changed same situation, i tried multiple times to create a service request but since its under normal processing time online system denied to create the SR, does that 6 months period starts from date of filing or from FP date?
hope we both get it soon.

Hi, Not sure why employment verification is needed as this is strictly part of I-140. I can see there is spike of RFE for same http://www.immigrationlawgroup.net/spike-in-i-485-requests-for-evidence.html.
I guess it is straight forward but delayed case which is already pending for 8 months.
Good Luck.

Congratulations!
So I got my combo card (EAD/travel) in last week of Dec. 2014. I am assuming that GC decision will come sometime in March (i.e. between three months of EAD approval), is that correct?
By the way I applied after approval of I-140 under NIW-EB2 category.

Hi,

Tons of congrats!

For your RFE on 'maintain legal status', was the time range before or after your last admission/entry to US?
Was was the time range before or after your filing I485, please?

Thanks for your help!
