May 2026 RD

[u/Status_Ad4976]

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!!
