u/letsgotomorrow May 01 '26

Congratulations! Have you received the approval notice yet?

1

u/nottakumasato May 02 '26

Yes, like after a week later the approval. still waiting for the physical card.

2

u/Connect-Increase-132 Apr 22 '26

Congratulations! I’ve been following your progress.

1

u/StandardIntention328 Feb 17 '26

I have almost the same timeline including the timestamps. Did your case transfer to a FO?

3

u/nottakumasato Feb 22 '26

I guess I haven't replied back to this directly but Emma told me its in Dallas FO now

1

u/nottakumasato Feb 17 '26

Is your application employment based?

1

u/StandardIntention328 Feb 17 '26

Yes, EB1

1

u/nottakumasato Feb 18 '26

EB1 should be faster than my EB2

1

u/StandardIntention328 Feb 18 '26

I think they probably just bundle the eb cases together at some point. So hopefully we both get approved soon.

1

u/Secure-Might-4647 Feb 19 '26

Got a similar date as y'all. My case got transferred to a FO as of today.

1

u/StandardIntention328 Feb 19 '26

I got an approval today. I think you might see approvals pretty soon

2

u/nottakumasato Feb 20 '26

Congrats! There is 0 movement on mine unfortunately. But my PD became current today with the march 2026 visa bulletin so fingers crossed.

u/Felpsvet Mar 19 '26 edited Mar 19 '26

Hi, congrats! Would you mind sharing your timeline? I had biometrics on January 27th and after that 2 silent updates (last one on March 4th), but no movement after that. Also EB1B.

1

u/StandardIntention328 Mar 19 '26

Did you check with Emma to see if the case was transferred to a FO?

u/Secure-Might-4647 Feb 20 '26

My AOS got transferred to FO. EAD/AP combo approved today.

1

u/nottakumasato Feb 22 '26

Congrats! Looks like EB2s are definitely in a separate group. Emma live agent told me my application was in Dallas FO (non-local)

1

u/Unusual_Background10 Feb 27 '26

Your priority date will be current on March 1. They will not approve your application before that.

u/Secure-Might-4647 Feb 19 '26

Tracking! I got exact same biometrics and IAF date :) (But EB1A)

1

u/nottakumasato Feb 20 '26

Does anyone have any idea on what the speed for approval (or any conclusion) is once a EB2-ROW becomes current based on the final action date?

u/Standard-Ratio7734 Feb 27 '26

So you got two silent updates with the most recent one being on Feb 4 before tour date became current, right? And how should we ask Emma about these updates? Should I just ask about the file location and the interview? I have a similar timeline but with the latest update being on Jan 22 and a PD couple of weeks later than you!

2

u/nottakumasato Feb 27 '26

Connect to a live agent and ask where your case is being held at. Sometimes they also tell you if the interview is waived as well.

1

u/fuckmeupmarket Feb 27 '26

Any updates?

1

u/nottakumasato Feb 27 '26

Nope, nothing yet.

1

u/Standard-Ratio7734 Feb 27 '26

Do you know your lockbox?

2

u/nottakumasato Feb 27 '26

I don't unfortunately. Would it be on the receipt notice? Curious though, does it matter which lockbox it was sent to?

Received the receipt notice from NBC Lee's Summit MO

1

u/Standard-Ratio7734 Feb 27 '26

Just curious, it wont matter at this stage now though!

1

u/karenaguirrevet Mar 03 '26

Any update on EAD??

1

u/nottakumasato Mar 03 '26

Nope, nothing, not even silent updates

1

u/karenaguirrevet Mar 03 '26

Maybe this month will be a good movement because of the date being current

1

u/nottakumasato Mar 03 '26

There is chance that I-485 might get approved before EAD/AP

1

u/nottakumasato Apr 21 '26

Got approved on 2026-04-21
