✅ EB-1 India Approved - Concurrent Filing Sep 2022, Final Approval Aug 2026

✅ **Case Status: Approved** --- An EB-1 India concurrent filing from September 2022 received final approval in August 2026, spanning nearly 4 years. The case experienced significant delays due to EB-1 India retrogression, required medical exam RFEs in 2026, and saw primary and dependent cases handled by different field offices with approvals roughly two months apart. Concurrent filing of I-140, I-485, I-131, and I-765 submitted September 2022. I-140 approved December 2022 and initial EADs approved the same month. Cases transferred to NBC in December 2022. Extended delays followed due to EB-1 India retrogression. Emergency Advance Parole was obtained twice in 2024 for urgent travel needs. New EADs were filed June 2024 and approved July 2024 (5-year validity). The I-131 for the dependent was denied after travel on H-1B while it was pending, requiring refiling — approved December 2024. In April 2026, RFEs for updated medical exams were issued from two different field offices, indicating cases had been split from NBC. RFE responses submitted May 2026. Primary I-485 approved June 2026; dependent I-485 remained stuck showing 'RFE sent' status for over 60 days before approving in August 2026. Card mailed 3 days after dependent approval. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1vrw7xo/eb1_india_sep_2022_concurrent_filing_approved_in/)** *Source: Reddit I-140 EB* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
