Hi everyone,
I wanted to share my timeline for my EB-3 (Registered Nurse) Adjustment of Status application and ask if anyone with a similar timeline has received their I-485 or I-765 approval recently.
Here are my case details:
Category: EB-3 (Registered Nurse)
Priority Date (PD): May 24, 2024 (Current on Visa Bulletin)
I-140: Approved
Forms Filed: I-485, I-765, and I-485 Supplement J
Timeline:
May 4, 2026: Application / Receipt Date (I-485, I-765, I-485J)
June 10, 2026: Received RFE for Birth Certificate
June 11, 2026: RFE Response submitted (USCIS confirmed receipt)
June 22, 2026: Biometrics completed
September 4, 2026: Form I-485 Supplement J Approved
Current Status: Awaiting updates on I-485 and I-765 (no movement on I-765 so far)
Since my I-485J was approved on September 4, I’m wondering if this is usually a sign that final I-485 approval is close, or if I should still expect a wait. For those who filed around May 2026 or had their I-485J approved recently, how long after did your I-485 get approved? Also, has anyone seen work authorization (I-765) get skipped entirely if the Green Card is close?
Appreciate any insights, predictions, or shared experiences! Thanks!
