ROW. Non restricted countries.
I485 RD: 4/6
Biometric: 4/22
Silent on 4/30 (most likely the background check)
Silent on 5/6 - Still NBC, no interview update yet.

I guess my case passed the additional background checking point in 7 days, which I think pretty reasonable timeline.

Let me know if this is an unreasonable guess

For I-485, I didn't know the transfer to a local office is required for the final review and decision. I thought it can be done within NBC.

And, is there anyone who got a "mail" notification when your case was transferred to a local office?

FYI, this is my chat with a live agent on 4/30/26.
