⏳ EB-3 Skilled Worker ROW Pending Post-RFE Response - Canada Cross-Chargeability PD 2019-03

⏳ **Case Status: Pending** --- EB-3 Skilled Worker (ROW) principal with one dependent filed I-485 in July 2025 after a March 2019 priority date using Canadian cross-chargeability. Case progressed through EAD approvals, local field office transfer, and a Request for Further Initial Evidence (RFIE) before the principal's I-485J was approved in September 2026, with the main I-485 still pending. An EB-3 Skilled Worker (Rest of World) applicant with Canadian cross-chargeability and a March 2019 priority date filed their I-485 adjustment of status application in July 2025 along with a dependent. After biometrics in August 2025 and EAD approvals in September 2025, the case was transferred to the Seattle Field Office in May 2026. The principal's Advance Parole was approved in May 2026, followed by the dependent's AP in July 2026. In August 2026, both principal and dependent received a Request for Further Initial Evidence (RFIE) — the principal was asked for an updated employment verification letter, three months of recent paystubs, and an English-translated certified birth certificate; the dependent was asked for proof of a bona fide marriage. The response was submitted by attorneys on September 3, 2026. USCIS acknowledged receipt of the RFE response by September 17–21, 2026. On September 21, 2026, the principal's I-485J (supplement) was approved, suggesting the underlying I-485 is moving toward a final decision. --- **[📎 View Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1wmiuzm/getting_closer/)** *Source: Reddit EB-3 search* --- *This post was automatically curated from online sources to share real case experiences with the community.*
