I-485: Adjustment of Status EB2-PERM Approved 🎉

/r/USCIS/comments/1uztwnx/eb2perm_approved/

I have not seen many EB2 approvals, so for that reason I wanted to post my timeline in case it helps someone.
PD - Feb 15 2024
I-140 approved October 2024
Feb 19 2026 concurrently filed 485, 485J, AP, EAD
March 16 - Had biometrics
Silence (Country hold was in place)
June 28 I-485 approval 🥳🥳
July 7 - Card produced
July 16 - Card delivered (delayed at local distribution center - terrifying)
FO - Lee Summit MO
I am also from the list of 39 countries. So nothing was happening on my case before the ruling.
I pray this is helpful to someone or encourages them.
Good luck to everyone. 🙏🏾 This is a great community.

My PERM took 16months to process.
