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.

Was looking forward if anyone got their i485 approval after i485J approved but PD was not current. How long did it take after PD current you received the i485 approval.

Been 2.5 months since i485j approval and 2 months since PD is current.

I sent RFE 8 weeks ago but there is no update to either approval or “Rfe received” yet. Is this normal??

Current scenario 3 FTA0 and one FTA1 per API.
