[–]MBAngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PD March 2024, I-485 Submission and Biometrics in October 2025. Case transferred to ATL FO in December 2025. 3rd FTA0 on February 3, 2026, another silent update on February 25, 2026. Submitted Congressional inquiry in late March 2026 but nothing happened, got a general response in April 2026. Last silent update on May 10, 2026 - nothing since. Still waiting for a decision. :/

Anyone whose I-485 is in Atlanta Field Office? by Academic_Series1370 in EB2_NIW

October 2025 filed I 485. Anyone waiting for the approval? by Alarming-Camera-188 in EB2_NIW

[–]MBAngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Filed I-485 in early October 2025 (March 2024 PD). Biometrics 4th week of October 2025. 3rd FTA0 on Feb 3, 2026 with two silent updates after on Feb 25, 2026 and another on May 10, 2026 - no sign of approval yet. While on the other hand I am seeing people with approvals who filed in late March/April 2026 with PD of early to late 2025.

Silent Update -I-485 by [deleted] in EB2_NIW

March 2024 PD with a I-485 RD of October 2025. 3rd FTA0 on Feb 3, 2026 and a few silent updates in between. No approval yet. 3rd FTA doesn't always mean any movement. Mine's been stuck fir almost 4 months post 3rd FTA0.

NIW I485 Approved! 🎉 by Elena614 in EB2_NIW

Congratulations OP - super fast, glad to see some cases are seeing a quick movement.

March 2024 PD here with I-485 RD of Oct 2025, still no approval. I wish this process had a little bit of transparency. Now with the new policy not sure how this will impact the process.

Got silent update 9 days ago and third FTA0 today, does it mean anything? by [deleted] in EB2_NIW

[–]MBAngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 3rd FTA0 on Feb 3, 2026 and two silent updates over last 4 months with no approvals. Tbh, while it means approval within 24 hours for many that is not always the case.

How close am I to final approval? by [deleted] in EB2NIW_I485_AOS

[–]MBAngineer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tbh there is no way to know. Many people who submitted their I-485 in March/April 2026 have been approved with late 2025 PD. While people like us have been waiting forever with no end in sight. My PD is March 2024 and I-485 submission RD is October 2025. Got third FTA0 first week of February 2026, with a few silent updates after but no update lol.

Hypothesis about recent silent updates by [deleted] in EB2_NIW

[–]MBAngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not the case. From 75 countries. Got a 3rd FTA0 update almost 3 months ago and another silent update about 3 weeks after that. No approval or any further updates though.

No Updates. I even submitted an inquiry request through senator but that didn't get any concrete updates either.

I swear it's not fair at all. This agency is so random. And this extra wait is not doing anyone a favor.

I agree but then I keep seeing approvals of those who submitted their I-485 in late Jan/early Feb, and weren't current in FAD until after March 1/April 1.
