✅ EB-3 ROW Approved - Priority Date 2024-02

✅ **Case Status: Approved** --- An EB-3 ROW applicant received I-485 approval approximately 2.5 months after filing. The case included two 'Yes' answers on the application — one for traffic/parking tickets and one for a prior F-1 visa denial — with no apparent complications. This EB-3 ROW case followed a straightforward I-485 adjudication timeline. The applicant filed I-485 on April 15, 2026, completed biometrics on June 11, and received I-485J approval on June 26 followed by I-485 approval just one day later on June 27 — a pattern consistent with many recent ROW approvals. The physical green card was produced on July 7 and arrived approximately one week later. Tracking number was not shown on the USCIS website and had to be obtained via the Emma virtual assistant. The application included 'Yes' responses to questions about prior citations (traffic/parking tickets) and a prior F-1 visa denial. The applicant noted PERM processing was the longer phase of the overall journey, while the I-485 stage moved quickly. Background included CPT, OPT, and H-1B status across multiple U.S. cities and a period of relocation to Europe. Priority Date: February 23, 2024.
