✅ EB-3 Professional Approved - PD June 2024, I-485 Approved August 2026

✅ **Case Status: Approved** --- An EB-3 Professional applicant with a June 2024 priority date filed I-485 in April 2026 and received approval in August 2026. The case progressed through multiple FTA0 status codes before FTA1 triggered final approval within 2 days of I-485J closure. This EB-3 Professional case demonstrates a relatively fast I-485 adjudication timeline once the case became current. The applicant filed I-485 in April 2026 with a June 2024 priority date, completed biometrics in June 2026, and then experienced a series of internal USCIS API status transitions in August 2026. The case received a 3rd FTA0 on August 13, then a 4th FTA0 followed by FTA1 on August 18 — the same day the I-485J (job flex portability supplement) was approved and closed. Final I-485 approval came on August 20, just 2 days after FTA1 and I-485J closure. The field office was a non-local Queens office. Total time from receipt to approval was approximately 4 months. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1vsxegn/i485_3rd_fta0_aug_13_4th_fta0_fta1_aug_18_after/)** *Source: Reddit EB-3 search* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
