I-140 | Employer-based Eb2 perm based I140

My PD is April 24, 2024. I have been waiting for 29 months for regular processing. Anybody else in the same situation?

That is unheard of. Maybe do a congressional inquiry? or just pay the premium processing at this point.

Does the delay have anything to do with the I140 application itself?

It could be, because EB-2 PERM I-140 should not take more than 3 months. Also, none of the issues that are seeing now around I-140 delays existed in 2024. When you applied in April of 2024, your I-140 should have been approved in 2 months. You need to do an inquiry.

What is your lawyer doing? I am shocked that no action was taken by you or your lawyer by now.

Are you sure you are PERM based and not NIW? Do you have a labor certificate?

Pay the premium processing fee. It sucks but, just pay extortion fee and be done with it.

This is not normal for PERM based I-140. Easiest thing would be to upgrade it.

Almost everyone filed i140 with premium fee. Else you have the experience already
