Hey everyone,
Sharing my full details and had a question for the community.
Category: EB2 NIW
ROW (not backlogged country)
Field Office: Louisville, KY
Timeline:
- I-485 Filed: Nov 4, 2025
- Biometrics: Dec 10, 2025
- Interview Scheduled: Mar 27, 2026
- Interview Date: May 5, 2026
- Derivative received EAD and AP, not primary
Interview Experience:
Had our interview today, it went really well overall. Officer was professional and friendly and talked about how the new rule is creating delays, also added, "I do not see any issues here, keep checking your mailbox".
Questions were mostly:
- Basic background verification
- Relationship related (we got married less than a year ago and after I-140 approval)
- Standard yes/no from the form
Post-Interview Update:
~14 minutes after interview time, saw a silent update (last updated timestamp changed, no status change).
Question to the community:
Has anyone here been approved after April 27 (post-rule change)?
- Especially EB2 NIW / ROW
- After interview or with similar silent updates
- Primary from the 75 countries listed
Trying to understand if approvals are still moving or if things are slowing down. Would really appreciate if people can share:
- Approval timelines after interview
- Whether you had silent updates before approval
Thanks and good luck to everyone waiting 🤞
