Of the eight self-reported outcomes collected from public immigration forums for the week of October 6 to 12, six were approvals and two described denials. The approvals were EB-2 NIW, EB-1A and EB-1B cases reported in r/EB2_NIW, r/eb_1a and 1Point3Acres. This is a small sample of people who chose to post, not a count of the cases the government decided.
The approvals carried little detail. One EB-2 NIW approval was reported with premium processing and a wait of about 930 days, and another EB-2 NIW approval was reported with no RFE. A third report, also in r/EB2_NIW, described an I-140 approval with no RFE. One EB-1A approval was posted without a service center, premium-processing note or field, and a recent EB-2 NIW approval was posted about two days before October 12. The sixth approval was an EB-1B case on 1Point3Acres.
The two negative reports were thinner. One recent 1Point3Acres thread reported a denied I-485 in an EB-1B case. The other was an EB-1 thread that described a multi-year path, visa-bulletin retrogression and a denial letter without stating a final outcome. Neither gave a receipt date, service center or the reason for the decision.
Because most reports gave no receipt date, service center or premium-processing detail, no median or reliable range can be drawn from them. The only waiting times that could be read ran from a few days to roughly 930 days, which reflects how differently these cases move rather than any processing trend. Of the eight reports, most did not say whether an RFE was issued, so no RFE rate is reported here.
These are self-reported, unverified posts from public forums. They are not official statistics, and one case says nothing about another. Applicants who want official numbers should use USCIS’s own processing-times page , which shows the agency’s own ranges by form and office.
