⏳ EB-3 ROW Pending I-485 Approval - ROW PD Feb 2024

⏳ **Case Status: Pending** --- An EB-3 ROW applicant received their I-485J approval (closed status) on August 6, 2026, followed by a silent update on the primary I-485 within minutes. However, the main I-485 approval has not followed within 24 hours, and the applicant is seeking timeline data from others in similar situations. EB-3 ROW applicant with a February 2024 priority date filed I-485 on April 2, 2026. Biometrics were completed on May 22, 2026. The I-485J (job portability supplement) was approved and marked 'closed' on August 6, 2026 at 1:57 PM PST, with a silent update on the primary I-485 occurring just 3 minutes and 36 seconds later. Despite this sequence of events — which often precedes final approval — the I-485 itself had not been approved within 24 hours. The applicant shared detailed backend API event data including FTA0, FTA1 (Biometrics Cleared), and IAF events to help others track similar patterns. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1vltg30/eb3_row_i485j_approved_closed_but_still_no_i485/)** *Source: Reddit EB-3 search* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
