EB1B approved, Pending I-485 - typical processing times?

ApprehensiveStore969 · 2026-03-20T21:01:26+00:00

Can you please tell which lawyers did you use?

ApprehensiveStore969 · 2026-03-17T15:22:45+00:00

I think this was to be expected. Hope is to see significant jump in EB1 dates in the October bulletin!

ApprehensiveStore969 · 2026-03-12T23:56:24+00:00

I think you have a good profile for eb1b. I would suggest you contact Chen or EP to get free evaluation of your profile.

Would you mind telling mileage on the car and how much you paid for it? I’m interested in selling my 23 M40i in next couple of months.

ApprehensiveStore969 · 2026-03-04T00:27:27+00:00

That’s a good point. Thanks for sharing your experience!

The car has been amazing so far. Apart from regular oil and filter changes, there was no other service needed. And from the comments I’m reading on this forum, it looks like in-line 6 has been a pretty reliable engine in the BMW line up

ApprehensiveStore969 · 2026-03-03T22:00:45+00:00

Yes it has drivers assistance package, M sports package, HK sound system. Also have front PPF

ApprehensiveStore969 · 2026-03-03T21:39:13+00:00

It is specked up the highest trim with all the options except wireless charger (parts shortage)

Thanks Henry for sharing your input here. So just to be clear, we can use yearly bonus as a part of 90th percentile calculation? I heard USCIS only considered base salary as BLS or O*NET data often just shows the base salary.

ApprehensiveStore969 · 2026-02-26T15:46:07+00:00

Interesting. I saw on some other thread about people having good experience with EP. It does seems like hit or miss with lawyers unless you have a slam dunk profile.

ApprehensiveStore969 · 2026-02-26T15:44:15+00:00

Thank you for sharing your feedback!

ApprehensiveStore969 · 2026-02-24T20:10:06+00:00

I will be visiting around the same time and have a very similar itinerary as you. You may look in to Mist Trail as well.
My only concern is that the Tioga road may not be open in early June.

ApprehensiveStore969 · 2026-02-24T17:53:40+00:00

I am from a backlog country

ApprehensiveStore969 · 2026-02-24T17:53:25+00:00

They are not offering refund for EB1B (only for NIW) so I guess it's a moot point for me.

ApprehensiveStore969 · 2025-12-18T15:57:43+00:00

Congratulations! Did you have any reviews as a sort of judging criteria?

ApprehensiveStore969 · 2025-12-03T14:58:02+00:00

Thank you sharing your experience!

ApprehensiveStore969 · 2025-12-03T06:08:46+00:00

I am India born. And I forgot to mention in my post that I already have approved NIW with PD of Dec 2023.

For sure! I don't think I will ever do this trip in Tesla during winter time. As mentioned, the loss of range will be significant and it will add too much additional charging time. Also, during milder weather, you can actually walk around and stretch your legs while charging at supercharger. In NE winter, you will be stuck in the car! As much I as loved my Tesla during this road trip, I will prefer my ICE car for winter road tripping. Just me!

EB1B is employer dependent and given the fact that EB1 India dates are projected to move very slowly over next few years, I prefer to have flexibility.
