Current USCIS processing times for I-765/I-131 filed alongside or after I-485 vary widely — typically 6 to 14 months depending on service center and workload. Biometrics completion (Feb 2026) is a positive sign that the case is actively moving. For India EB-3 filers with a 2014 priority date, the I-485 itself may remain pending for years given retrogression, but EAD/AP processing is independent of visa bulletin availability. Expedite requests require documented severe financial loss, critical need, or USCIS error — general delays alone typically do not qualify. Checking the USCIS online case status and comparing against the published processing time chart for the relevant service center is the recommended first step.
