Emma says my EB-2 NIW I-485 is at NBC and the interview has been waived—what usually happens next?
Hi everyone,
I’m an EB-2 NIW ROW applicant. My timeline so far:
I-485 received: June 9, 2026
Biometrics completed: July 9, 2026
Silent case updates: August 12, 2026
Third FTA0 created: August 13, 2026, but backdated to the July 9 biometrics date
No updates after that
Public status still says USCIS is processing the case
An Emma live agent specifically told me that my case is still at the National Benefits Center and that the interview has been waived
Has anyone received the same information from Emma?
Or in the same boat ? I am not sure what that third FTA0 mean, Thanks!
