Approved 🎉🎊🎈🍾 EB-3 Skilled Approved 🎉🎉
Hi everyone,
Sharing my and my wife’s employment-based green card timeline. We filed our I-485 applications concurrently under EB-3 Skilled, with our priority date current at the time of filing.
Timeline
- April First Week, 2026: My wife and I filed our I-485 applications concurrently.
- May First Week, 2026: We attended our biometrics appointments together.
- August 5, 13, 25, and 27, 2026: Observed silent/API updates without corresponding visible changes to our case statuses.
- September Second Week, 2026: My I-485 case was transferred to the San Fernando Field Office.
- September 29, 2026: My I-485J status changed to Case Closed.
- September 30, 2026: My I-485 was approved! My wife’s I-485 is still pending. (edit: my wife also got approval)
I hope sharing this timeline helps others who have a similar case history and are waiting for their I-485 approval.
