EB-3 Skilled Worker (Rest of World) with dependent filed I-485 in July 2025 after a Priority Date of March 2019. Principal applicant received FTA0 in July 2026 following a local field office transfer, while the dependent's I-485 remains in silent touch status without a corresponding FTA0.
EB-3 Skilled Worker (ROW) case with one dependent. Priority Date of March 2019, I-485 filed July 2025 — approximately 6 years after the priority date was established. Biometrics completed August 2025, both EADs approved September 2025. In May 2026, the case was transferred to the Seattle Field Office for local processing, and the principal applicant's Advance Parole was approved the same day. On July 1, 2026, the principal applicant's I-485 received an FTA0 system touch, a code often associated with pre-approval processing. The dependent's I-485, however, has only received a series of silent touches — July 1, July 2, and July 22 — without an FTA0 event. The principal and dependent cases appear to be moving asynchronously through the final adjudication stage.
