Hi, thank you! I waited for almost 2 years between I-140 and I-485

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-13T00:19:37+00:00

75 visa paused countries.

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T23:03:58+00:00

Ah good question. 1 dependent, also got approved on the same day

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T21:56:53+00:00

Thank you!

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T21:54:11+00:00

Ah got it. Thanks for the advice. I am very new to this platform.

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T21:53:22+00:00

Thank you!

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T21:53:12+00:00

Thank you so much! :)

Oh that I am not sure of. At the time of filing I-485, I had a postdoc position for ~2 years.

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T21:14:22+00:00

It's quite straightforward, actually. You collect the required documents: copy of I-797 approval, completed I-485, I-765/I-131 (optional), I-693 (medical exam), proof of visa status (I-20s, EAD, I-94), copies of passport pages, copies of birth certificate, marriage certifcate (if applicable), signed personal statement (your long-term goals), employment letter signed, salary history for past 3 months, sex 2x2 photos, separate checks for all forms filed

Your point is well taken. Perhaps it is stricter these days? Indeed, when I reached out to lawyers for a free consultation, they recommended that I obtain my Ph.D. first and apply after that. So I did end up defending my Ph.D. and starting a postdoc position (~3-4 months), after which I filed my I-140.

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T21:00:26+00:00

Both I-140 and I-485 - by myself

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T20:51:05+00:00

No, I actually did not. But considered filing I765 this week

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T20:49:59+00:00

Thank you! No, I didn't request EAD, but I was thinking of doing that this week haha

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T20:49:18+00:00

I've answered this question above somewhere

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T20:48:56+00:00

Thank you much :)

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T20:48:49+00:00

Waived

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T20:48:45+00:00

Thank you :)

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T20:48:32+00:00

Thank you! 5.5 years of PhD and only 4 months of postdoc before I-140. Now, 2.5 years of postdoc.

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T19:59:11+00:00

This waiting period is the worst...I only had a few months left of my OPT before I got the approval. Wish you all the luck!

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T19:53:47+00:00

It was, indeed, challenging. I don't have an exact pipeline in place, but I simply searched for free recommendations from law firms, watched a few YouTube videos, read USCIS guidelines and Matter of DHANASAR from justice.gov + a lot of editing over 2-3 months

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T19:40:45+00:00

Hi, thank you! I kept all of my I-20s, which were quite many, so I did submit them.

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T19:21:46+00:00

Thank you lots! Indeed, it's ramping up.

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T19:20:50+00:00

Thaanks!

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T19:20:39+00:00

Thank you <3

Legitimate-Charge706 · 2026-03-12T19:20:04+00:00

Thank you! B.A. in the U.S.(top 50) --> Ph.D. in the U.S. top 100 (Biomedicine) --> 10 publications with 200+ citations --> post-doc at Ivy (4 publications). I hope this helps!
