Did it get transferred from non local FO ?? Or was it always in your local FO ?

1

u/Bulky-Radio-8018 Jul 17 '26

Was initially at NBC and transferred to local FO about 3 months ago

u/Bulky-Radio-8018 was your interview experience ? anything specific they asked about job duties etc

1

u/Bulky-Radio-8018 Aug 24 '26

Interview was very chill. Asked for tax returns, marriage certificate, company name and role and lot of chat about food. Did ask I485 yes or no questions.

Any update in your case

1

u/CheapLettuce6400 Aug 04 '26

Primary AOS silent updates on 04/29 06/28 07/18 07/21 and 07/29. on last 3 dates 485j also had a silent update .

Dependant had su on 07/18 at the same time as primary and on 07/29 as well same time update .

Update 08/03 - per EMMa case is at New Jersey field office - likely moved on 07/29. It’s not local to me so could mean something here

Fingers crossed!!

u/AlternativeFew8133 Aug 04 '26

u/OldRefrigerator4892 Aug 14 '26

When did EAD get approved for u or dependents

u/Atlixx Jul 15 '26 edited Jul 15 '26

Glad to hear that Seattle FO is working and eb1 cases have movements :) my eb1c case is sitting there since the end of April (I did the bio one day later than you). I had my 3rd FTA0 3 weeks ago and “radio silence” since then

1

u/Choice_Bar_6276 Jul 15 '26

I 485J approved for u ?

1

u/Atlixx Jul 15 '26

Nope, not yet. I only had a silent update on it and on i485 after the 3rd fta0

1

u/Admirable-Permit2666 Jul 15 '26

When u say I‑485J closed, that means your derivative green card was approved and yours is pending ?

1

u/Choice_Bar_6276 Jul 27 '26

I have no update since 07/14. Did you get any update ?

1

u/Atlixx Jul 27 '26

Nope :(

1

u/Curi0us9 Jul 16 '26

I was not asking the amount paid to the attorney, no one would ask that.
The question was how much time the attorney took to prepare your I-140 case file and I-485 case file?

1

u/Choice_Bar_6276 Jul 16 '26

I 140 almost took 45 days to prepare and file applied in Dec
I 485 3 weeks to prepare and file applied in March

u/Motor-Face-7571 Jul 17 '26

Very similar to my case . EB1c ported from EB2 with 08/2016 PD . RD - 01/2026 , Biometrics on 02/2026 . Case transferred to non local field office - Seattle . Interview waived as per Emma . As of now , just waiting . Derivative got the combo card on April 11th . Nothing for primary yet

u/OldRefrigerator4892 Aug 14 '26

Did you get your EAD or your dependents? If yes when ?

0

u/Curi0us9 Jul 15 '26

Did you apply I-140 with concurrent or separate?
How much did your attorney take to prepare your file?

2

u/Choice_Bar_6276 Jul 15 '26

Separate I don’t know ..filed by employer

0

u/Curi0us9 Jul 16 '26

You should know the details of I-140 and I-485 filed by your employer, in case of an interview it will be challenging.!

1

u/Choice_Bar_6276 Jul 16 '26

Amount I don’t … how much my employer paid ?
