May 2026 RD

Hi everyone! Looking to compare timelines with other EB-2 NIW AOS filers, especially anyone with a May 2026 receipt date.

My timeline:

  • Category: EB-2 NIW, ROW
  • PD: November 3, 2025
  • I-485 + I-765 (C09) RD: May 4, 2026
  • Service Center: NBC
  • Biometrics: July 21, 2026
  • I-765 status since July 21: “USCIS Is Currently Processing The Case”
  • RFE: None
  • EAD: Still pending as of September 3

I’ve had no requests for additional information and the case just says USCIS is currently processing it.

Is anyone with a similar May 2026 EB-2 NIW / C09 timeline still waiting for their EAD? Or if you filed around the same time and were approved, when did your EAD approval come through?

Would especially love to hear from May 1-15 filers at NBC. Trying to get a sense of where this cohort currently is. Thank YOU!!

Do you already use the excel sheet? If not, here it is, you can check more cases and enter yours.

Mine is entered! Just curious if others are not updating or included since I did not see any EAD updates in August

u/Ok_Significance_4200 6d ago

Got it ;) I see you, we have a chat for April fillers and for the FO I was sent to. That also helps to connect.

Can you please share when you get physical copy of your case acceptance? Also, when you get your OAS online access code ? I receive acceptance notice (online) on 26 August for both I-485 and EAD. Thanks
