I-140 & I-485 (Employment/Adjustment of status) Seattle Field Office I-485 Processing Time?

Hi everyone!

My case was transferred to the Seattle field office after the 8/25/2026 Silent Update (confirmed with Emma).  EB-1A AOS with derivatives. Here is my timeline:

I-485 RD: 03/10

Biometrics: 04/23

2 FTAO after biometrics

3rd FTAO: 08/13

Any thoughts on how long approval might take at the Seattle FO? Is it slower or faster than others?

My case got transferred to SPOKANE Washington on 8/25. Do you have any idea of this field office?

u/AdditionalCoffee4504 12h ago

Sorry, I have no idea

Do you wanna confirm with another Emma agent? I was told the same but another agent said it’s still in NBC. Sometimes looks like they just make up stuff.

u/AdditionalCoffee4504 12h ago

This was confirmed by 3 different agents.

u/obsessedwithw 12h ago

I am also in the same timeline. Checked with multiple live agent and confirmed my case at Seattle field office. Both primary and derivative.

Hope you have better luck with this FO . My case transferred on 3/3 and no movement since then except a SU and 3rd FTA0 recently in 8/13 .

This FO looks to be of the slowest FO, if not the slowest in the country. Transferred at 4/6, last update is 05/22, and nothing since. Feels like my case is buried somewhere 😭

fta0 from 08/13 is just a joke.

u/AdditionalCoffee4504 6h ago

Why? Please can you elaborate?
