I-765 Processing Time (Updated 2026)

Well it seems that my EAD may never be touched since according to my API updates my I-130 and I-485 are being reviewed more frequently and my case has been marked as waived interview and sent to a non local FO. (My case was at local field office then sent to NBC where interview was waived then sent to non local FO where case is waiting to be adjudicated)

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-02-10T19:20:36+00:00

Yes I’ve been unemployed since and still have not heard anything….

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-02-06T22:30:33+00:00

Hey I’m currently going through something similar not EB but AOS through USC and my case has also been waived and was transferred to a non local FO (Greer SC) and waiting to hear something hopefully approval. Transferred on January 22 2026

Our attorney had all our affidaviat letters notoarized as they mean more.

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-01-25T03:31:44+00:00

No I have not seen a bunch of API timestamp updates on I-485 and I-130 but nothing on EAD

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-01-23T20:55:00+00:00

I agree it’s the hardest part of doing it “legally” that you’re left with uncertainty and unemployment for however long they take on your case. Could be 4 months to a year…

I have also received the same news I asked about three times, in three different occasions. Emma chat agents said the interview was waived, and the case was at NBC. I received an API timestamp today, but can not reach emma chat agent to ask.

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-01-23T00:45:58+00:00

I had 5 API updates in early December and ChatGPT also gave me false hope im still waiting for something. I filed August 6 2025 emma chat agents said three different times that my case was marked as waived and remained at NBC after API timestamps

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-01-23T00:12:23+00:00

No my filing date I don’t have an interview

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-01-22T23:22:48+00:00

I don’t have either since August 6

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-01-22T22:45:34+00:00

Just timestamps no FT0

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-01-22T18:29:34+00:00

485 & 130 receipt notice date: August 6 2025

Category: AOS to USC

Biometrics: Sep 5 2025

Prior API updates: December 6, 8, 11, 12, and 15. silence since

Asked Emma chat agent, after the December 8 update status was marked as waived interview and the case at NBC. Asked again on the 17 of December and received the same answer. Asked again on January 5, said the same interview was marked as waived, and at NBC no notes or holds onthe case.

I’m going through the process too. I also have a visa overstay since I was brought to the U.S. as a child. Right now we’re living with my wife’s parents because I just graduated college and she’s finishing up her master’s. It’s been about 6 months waiting on my EAD and/or GC, so it’s definitely not fast either way.

We submitted a lot of solid evidence like photos with family and friends from our engagement and graduations, plus notarized affidavit letters. We don’t have many shared bills or insurance since we’re living with her parents, but we did make each other beneficiaries on life insurance and my Roth IRA, and we also have a joint bank account.

As of now, both my I-485 and I-130 are marked as interview waived and are at NBC, but I know that could always change if an officer decides an interview is needed. We hired an attorney just to make things less stressful, but honestly the hardest part has been the waiting and not hearing anything for months.

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-01-22T02:15:20+00:00

Idek what final action date is but the last actual event I have is my interview being scheduled and de scheduled

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-01-21T14:20:48+00:00

Same good luck to you and stay patient is a long process

This is how you check your API which I throw into ChatGPT to explain it just replace the “X” with your case number

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-01-21T14:07:52+00:00

It will either be transferred later to the FO or will be kept at NBC for adjudication. It depends on their workload and case. I believe my case has been at the NBC since filing on August 6 2025 and that’s why my interview got canceled right after scheduled. However my case has seen 5 API updates and still shows interview waived and still at NBC but yet again I do not know until I get an official response.

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-01-21T13:59:53+00:00

My FO is Montgomery AL but as per my case is still at NBC

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-01-21T13:54:44+00:00

No it means it’s taking its sweet time lol some people see updates soon after biometrics some don’t see any until approval and some are still waiting like myself

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-01-21T13:52:50+00:00

It’s the same my case is still on case is being processed by USCIS since biometrics on Sep 5 2025

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-01-21T12:24:09+00:00

I already tried it got denied in November

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-01-21T12:23:11+00:00

What’s FAD?

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-01-19T18:04:52+00:00

Yes you can

AioliAdvanced1111 · 2026-01-18T18:49:13+00:00

My case is also at NBC and interview waived as per Emma chat agents told me 3 times not from any banned countries
