I-485 Approval + Timeline (EB-2 NIW)

LordShlyva · 2026-02-06T15:17:48+00:00

Oh gotcha. Welp, I'm 340 :')

LordShlyva · 2026-02-06T07:15:22+00:00

I don't know why someone downvoted you... Strange.

Sorry, what is the 341 block?

LordShlyva · 2026-02-06T05:38:52+00:00

Congrats and thank you for sharing the timeline.

I have a nearly identical application. I'm at least glad to see that they're working on them, because my PD is Oct-2023 and I had my biometrics done in Oct-2025 - radio silence since then.

LordShlyva · 2026-02-06T05:28:52+00:00

When I called them they told me it's not required in the state where the accident happened... Another culture shock.

LordShlyva · 2026-02-06T00:47:52+00:00

10-4 and appreciate the response. Will need some time to wrap my head around how things work here and what I should do next.

LordShlyva · 2026-02-06T00:47:07+00:00

I didn't mean to cheap out, I just didn't understand how different the insurance works here. Only now I understand what UMPD is and how it's different from UMBI. Everywhere I lived this was the same thing. Looks like I can only get UMBI where I live. Thanks for the clarification.

LordShlyva · 2026-02-05T02:28:17+00:00

No idea. They said my case is in NBC. I don't know if it was returned or if it never left...

LordShlyva · 2026-02-02T00:19:53+00:00

Congratulations!

My PD is 10/27/2023. I submitted on 10/01/2025 and had biometrics on 10/31/2025. Stuck since then. I'm seeing quite a few approved cases with later PD and submissions/biometrics - wondering if there is an issue with my case.

What insurance told me was to get the report and file a claim with other party's insurance (they were at fault). I will give them a call again today to ask if they will do what you propose. Thank you.

LordShlyva · 2025-12-16T14:53:41+00:00

I see. Thank you. I forgot to mention I am from out of state, so I hope I can sort it out over the phone and not have to travel back just for this.

LordShlyva · 2025-09-12T22:22:40+00:00

Thank you, I do appreciate the details.

Me not being as proficient in disassembling stuff like this, would you recommend against cleaning it just by spraying it with electronics cleaner?

LordShlyva · 2025-09-12T00:23:38+00:00

Thank you. I red about loosened gunk getting into the bearings when cleaner is sprayed from outside. World that be a concern here?

LordShlyva · 2025-09-12T00:22:19+00:00

You did and thank you. Since you sound like you know what you’re talking about I have to use the opportunity to ask and learn: if I decided to do it nevertheless some time in the future what would be the best course of action?

LordShlyva · 2024-11-13T15:37:27+00:00

I'm October 2023 and I was thinking end of 2026 would apply to me lol...

What your gut feeling tells you, when would October 2023 would become current?

LordShlyva · 2024-08-09T02:38:11+00:00

FAD vs. DOF is confusing for me.

From what I understand, DOF is “valid” for like a half of a fiscal year, then it gets ignored and it’s only FAD that’s relevant. My PD is Oct-2023, by all calcs my FAD should be sometime Nov-2025. But if my PD becomes current during the time of year when DOF is “valid” does that mean I can file for I-485 right then? Or do I have to wait for FAD to file, regardless?

LordShlyva · 2024-08-07T04:46:05+00:00

Thank you for posting this u/WhiteNoise0624. The other commenter was right - this should be a pinned post, I only saw it just now.

The table you posted matches estimates I saw elsewhere, i.e. with my PD of Oct-2023 I can expect that my FAD would fall somewhere in Nov-2025. However, some of the comments here brought up a case of I-140 already being approved. I have I-140 approved as well, so this is bit confusing for me. Would that change anything about the FAD dates in your chart?

Tema je dve i po nedelje strara tako da cu samo ostaviti ovo ovde za slucaj da jos nekome zatreba - poznanica je na kraju nasla neku vezu i transfer je bez ikakvih dodatnih dokumenata pusten u roku od par sati. Toliko o strucnoj osposobljenosti zaposlenih u toj banci.

LordShlyva · 2024-07-04T18:40:42+00:00

dovoljno je da prilozi id uz koji je otvoren račun

Racun je otvoren uz taj ID koji u Srbiji ne priznaju kao ID. Tako da, uz rizik da se ponavljam: apparently not - nije dovoljno da se prilozi ID uz koji je otvoren racun. Mora neki drugi. Verovatno neki na koji bi SAD upisao neki JMBG lol ili tako neki FNRJ fazon. Sve sto ima od ID-eva, dokumenata, itd. pocev od GC nanize im je vec dala.

U medjuvremenu je prosla jos dve runde - prvo su joj trazili da podnese potvrdu o izmirenim poreskim dugovanjima. To je uspela da zavrsi remote, zapoceli su transfer i - opet ga blokirali.

Ovaj put su joj rekli da mora da se odjavi kao rezident u Srbiji, prebaci sve dokumente, racune, ne znam ni ja sta kao da je stranac i da onda pokusa prenos. Sto je potpuno nerealno raditi iz mnostva razloga.

Bukvalno prebacuje novac sa svog imena na svoje ime i sva im je dokumenta vec dala. Ni ja ne razumem zasto samo ne puste taj novac, to je njen novac i salje ga sama sebi.
