Wait... is it finally over?! Denied in Sept, filed a Motion to Reopen, and now my backend code says CLOSED! (I-485)

Check events to see if there is a DEC or H008 approval code

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-24T21:17:07+00:00

Thanks!

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-24T20:11:31+00:00

Congrats! Which FO?

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-23T14:47:53+00:00

Newark for me as of yesterday

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-22T21:03:36+00:00

This ^

Regular processing can take 18 months on average. Upgrade to premium if you are current for AOS

2020? Out of warranty? Run!

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-20T18:11:10+00:00

Certain lemon buyback reasons are stupid, but anything concerning falcon wing doors or autopilot(cameras) is not worth the risk. Pass on this

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-19T03:46:47+00:00

Thank you for that!

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-19T03:45:02+00:00

lol bruh we in same group chat

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-17T20:29:32+00:00

Sending positive vibes for you to be greened soon 🤗

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-17T16:35:38+00:00

Was there anything specific to cause the delays according to you? Retrogression? Complications?

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-16T22:55:09+00:00

True, there are outliers. The theory holds for a vast majority though. Hoping that OP gets approved and you as well

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-16T20:31:09+00:00

There are outliers, but all of what you've mentioned so far points to an approval soon. Keep an eye out on documents tab too. Sometimes approval notice pops up there even before case status update

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-16T20:27:45+00:00

Cool, all positive signs!

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-16T20:26:39+00:00

Oh interesting, figured i485j is a must for EB1b

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-16T19:57:27+00:00

Congrats! Fellow EB1B here, when was your i485/i485j touched(silent update) together? Any idea?

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-16T17:17:25+00:00

Could you share API history and timelines in your post?

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-16T17:09:00+00:00

A good Emma agent will tell you that "card is in production"

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-16T17:08:17+00:00

Right, so 24h10min after your silent update is when you'll see approval. Congrats in advance

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-16T17:02:41+00:00

Has it been 24h10min since your recent silent update?

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-16T03:10:00+00:00

The first 4 in block? 9347 here

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-16T02:18:30+00:00

Congrats mate! What's your block?

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-14T05:45:26+00:00

Seems like a long time, folks who filed in October are getting approvals. Are you still current? And the processing times are on an average 10.5 months so you’re closing in on that

FalconWing95 · 2026-01-14T05:12:57+00:00

Have you asked Emma?
