An EB-3 ROW applicant with a June 2023 priority date filed I-485 in October 2025 at the Philadelphia Field Office. The case remains pending with action code FTA1, last internally updated May 2026. A standalone I-131 was filed in July 2026 due to travel needs for elderly family.
EB-3 ROW applicant with June 2023 priority date and I-140 approved in 2024. I-485 was filed October 10, 2025, with biometrics completed the same month at the Philadelphia Field Office. No EAD/AP was filed concurrently. Current USCIS API action code is FTA1 ('currently processing'), with the last public status update in February 2026 and last internal update in May 2026. No RFEs or interview notices have been issued. A standalone I-131 (Advance Parole) was filed July 13, 2026 for urgent family travel, with biometrics completed July 20, 2026. The I-131 is now at the National Benefits Center (NBC) with status 'currently processing.' The applicant is seeking similar timelines from October 2025 EB-2/EB-3 filers, especially at Philadelphia FO, and asking about standalone I-131 processing times post-biometrics.
