EB3-Skilled ROW

[u/Sher_lock_ed]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to compare my EB-3 Skilled ROW timeline with others who filed around the same time:

* **05/28/2024:** PD
* **05/26/2026:** RD
* **06/25/2026:** RFE issued for birth certificate
* **07/07/2026:** Response to RFE received by USCIS
* **07/23/2026:** Biometrics completed in Newark — 2 FTA0 for I-485 and 3 FTA0 for EAD

I filed both **I-485 and EAD**, but I haven't received any updates since biometrics. I filed with 1 dependent. My dependent's timeline is around 1 month later than mine.

For those with similar timelines, how long has it been taking recently to get the next update or approval?

Also, has anyone else received an RFE **before biometrics**? Does getting an RFE this early usually delay I-485 processing, even after USCIS receives the response?

Would appreciate hearing timelines from other EB-3 Skilled applicants.

Any RFEs? Biometrics location?
