Hello all! I've been following processing times for the I-140 (like a hawk because my job is unstable), since I filed for EB2-NIW (RoW) in July 2019. I had received EAD/AP and done biometrics. The processing times for I-140 on the uscis website just kept getting longer and longer. But that changed for the better - processing time for my category (in Texas center) changed suddenly from 11 - 14 months, to 4 - 6 months today. I am now in the window to file a case enquiry. To all lawyers and experienced out there - should I file a case enquiry? WIll that help get this moving quicker, or could it open me up to any problems? Am pretty desperate to see a resolution soon.

I think if you can submit a service request according to https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ you should not have a problem. Some say that they received an RFE after submitting a request but there is no way to know if they were going to send one anyway just weeks later. Good luck.Nov 2018 - Package sent - EB - Texas Service Center
Day 1 - Package received at the lockbox
Day 999 - Card delivered to me - Aug 2021

Hello ShanG and cowboy370
I am in the same boat. I applied for i-140 concurrently on 07/31/2019. My priority date has changed all of sudden. It shows October 2019. My lawyer says that just wait and not to file a service request. I have no updates on application On uscis website yet.

Hi all - sorry I didn't provide an update. My I-140 was approved in early July 2020. So it took 12 months. I ended up doing a service enquiry in May, and I think it did help. I would highly recommend you do it if your case falls outside of the normal processing times (and I know the range is so wide).
Now I'm waiting for the I-485 (AOS) - the delay continues....

Hi cowboy, can you give us an update? My I-140 was approved early April 2021 and now I’m waiting for an interview appointment to get my green card. Have you received a letter with an interview date yet? If so, how long did it take or how long have you been waiting?

Hi,
Service request can be done either beneficiary or applicant or representatives? For I-140 petition enquiry, better Employer or Attorney raise the service request. Even beneficiary raises SR, it will not impact. But, they may have more information than us.
Thanks

There was no option to clarify that when we were raising an SR ourselves. It just got me worried of any adverse impact.
