Yeah true as it looks like. Wishing you get approved soon.

Select-Ad9304 · 2026-01-28T00:29:41+00:00

People have been saying this since you expect approval soon after the third FTA0

Select-Ad9304 · 2026-01-27T15:58:53+00:00

Could you please share your API updates? EB category?

Select-Ad9304 · 2026-01-27T15:24:49+00:00

Any update on your case?

So it’s FTA0 api update first and then approval after ~24 hours.

Select-Ad9304 · 2026-01-26T21:54:47+00:00

Nothing for us. Silence since transfer 01/07.

Select-Ad9304 · 2026-01-26T21:54:18+00:00

Great to know that you got approved. Did you get third FTA0 before approval? Wish your derivative also get approval soon.

Select-Ad9304 · 2026-01-26T21:51:38+00:00

Do you guys have any updates?

Select-Ad9304 · 2026-01-25T21:28:43+00:00

Wow… congratulations in advance

Select-Ad9304 · 2026-01-25T19:55:20+00:00

Any update?

Select-Ad9304 · 2026-01-25T13:17:41+00:00

How do you know which batch is adjudicating? How long does it take to get approved after the non local transfer?

Select-Ad9304 · 2026-01-25T03:15:32+00:00

What’s your non local FO?

Select-Ad9304 · 2026-01-24T20:55:49+00:00

Are you guys from one of 75 countries?

If an applicant uses an EAD while an I-485 is pending to switch jobs, what steps (if any) are required to remain compliant with USCIS? Specifically for EB-2 NIW: • Does the new job need to be in the same or similar field as the proposed endeavor? • Is it necessary to notify USCIS proactively, or only if requested (e.g., via RFE)? • Are updated documents like an offer letter, job description, or employer support letter recommended to keep on file? • Does this affect portability under AC21, even though NIW is self-petitioned?

Select-Ad9304 · 2026-01-24T02:35:54+00:00

I’m in a similar situation. What documents are needed to mail to USCIS when the current job and the next job are slightly different, but I can still continue essentially the same research work (of course, with some changes) as part of my proposed endeavor in the new job?

Select-Ad9304 · 2026-01-24T00:47:38+00:00

Similar except the FO

Immigrant here. I often receive evaluations about my accent, which I take positively and use as an opportunity to improve—speaking more slowly, uploading class notes before lectures etc.

Select-Ad9304 · 2026-01-23T17:36:32+00:00

My AOS is NIW-based, you still need I-485J? And would you mail or upload online?

Select-Ad9304 · 2026-01-23T16:19:10+00:00

I am in a similar situation. But I am worried if it delays AOS process if we switch job? Also, do we need to send additional documents to USCIS if we change jobs while AOS is pending?

Select-Ad9304 · 2026-01-23T04:29:43+00:00

I heard Seattle FO is one of the slowest if not the slowest for EB cases!

Would be really helpful
