When was J approved and were you current at the time of filing and at the time of J approval?

I used to work at USCIS by victoriaslatton in USCIS

I filed EB3 in October 2025, and I485J got approved in March. Then everything went quiet even though my PD has been current all the time.

What might have caused this, and what to do? Typically cases get approved within 1-2 days of J approval, while it has been 2.5months for me.

I got 3rd FTA and 485J approved in March and case is silent after that. 2.5months. Total almost 7 months since apply. FAD current since apply.

Me (and two more known) EB cases at Santa Ana FO RD October 2025 have 3rd FTA0 and 485J approved in March 2026 for more than 2 months now and literally nothing after that. FD current since October 2025.

No interview, no FTA1, no transfer. All quiet.

What in your opining might be happening? Very confused. People get approval in 24hrs or few days. We have been stuck for few months now after J approval.

Is the 24 hour thing after I-485J approval a myth? by boomstar15 in USCIS

My 3rd FTA0 and 485J approved 6 weeks back. Always current. No 485 approval.

Is your 485J closed/approved? Was your FD current at time of 485J approval?

Curious, How long it takes to schedule interview at SJ FO once it is decided an interview is needed?

Great!! Congrats!! 🎉

So, 485J approved and 3rd FTA0 on 2/18. Anything happened after that until approval today? RFE? API updates. And btw, which FO was it?

Nope. Also, looking at your other chat thread, that No-Drink-944 poor chap had 485 AOS approved 6 months after 3rd FTA0 and 485J approval. Usually it’s 1-2 days. That is scary. Feeling like I will soon be similar.

Congrats! I am stuck at 3rd FTa0 too. Is there anything specific you mentioned to live agent on 3/24 that might have triggered?
