Re: L1A to GC EB1(c)
Yes I-485 filed concurrently so fingers crossed in time for Christmas. Haven't told the Mrs yet in the hope I can actually give it to her as a gift

Re: L1A to GC EB1(c)
Might just squeak in for popping in the Christmas stocking, then!
BTW, did you have a tracking number for the I-140? We've got them for the I-485s, but not the I-140. I've read that this is normal as that reference number is sent to the employer, not the employee, but I was wondering if it's worth asking the lawyers for it, if we can use it to track anything useful.
But if it's just going to say 'Under Review' or 'Pending' or something equally vague right up until it's actually passed, then there's no point bothering.

Just got I-485 approved after 57 days, so 5.5 months total under EB1C
Good luck all those who are waiting

Re: L1A to GC EB1(c)
Could you let me know when your 5.5 months is counting from, and which service centre you were being processed by?
We're also applying for EB1C. We got our 'yep, received your application' letters in late September, and have done biometrics - this is through Nebraska. If your 5.5 months is from initial receipt, then that might mean we can look for approval by mid-March...

I-485 packet submitted 18NOV12,
fingerprints 07DEC12,
I-485 approval 11JAN13
Used Texas service centre (which is currently at 6.5 months, so assume this is the max), EB1C seems to be faster, checkout trackitt.com

I think ours were concurrent, so am I right in thinking that they'll process the I-140, and then the I-485 will be processed pretty much simultaneously?
Nebraska still saying 4 months for EB1C, so as ours were received Sept 22 that's quite soon...

We just checked the Immigration website, and our status has changed from 'Card/ document production'! Text below says 'On January 11th, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your car to be mailed to you' (but I'm guessing it won't actually take 30 days).
We're approved, we're approved!
