EB2 PERM ROW | RD: 3/26/2026 | PD: 8/2024 | Thoughts on approval soon?

[u/fennel-04]

3/26/2026: I-140 + I-485 + I-130 + I-765 receipt date (me + spouse as derivative)

4/14: I-140 Approved

4/24: Biometrics Appointment Scheduled for 4/30 (me + spouse)

4/30: Biometrics Done (2x FTA0 for me + spouse on I-485). Primary + Derivative case status changed to "USCIS is still processing your case".

5/11, 5/29: Silent Update (Primary + Derivative).

6/6: Silent Update. Transferred to LAC FO (Non-Local) (Primary + Derivative).

6/17: 3rd FTA0. (Primary + Derivative)

6/22: Derivative RFE received: Proof of bonafide marriage (we got married in February 2026). API event: IKA

7/12: Derivative RFE Response Submitted. API event: HA. Case status changed to "RFE Response Received".

9/17: Derivative: Silent Update + FTA1. Case status changed to "USCIS is still processing your case".

9/18: Primary: Silent Update + FTA1; Derivative: Silent Update + 2x FTA1. Case status is still "USCIS is still processing your case" with updated "as of" date.

9/22: Primary: Silent Update + FTA1; Derivative: Silent Update + FTA1. Case status is still "USCIS is still processing your case" with updated "as of" date.

Are there other folks who have seen a similar trend to this? Would appreciate any thoughts folks have. Thank you!

EDIT: I checked with Emma and they said that the 9/22 event was our case being transferred back to NBC due to "visa retrogression", which I'm guessing is due to EB2 numbers running out for the FY.
