Concurrently filed EB1C i140/i485 in June 21. Does USCIS process 140/485 in parallel or is it that 485 processing starts only once 140 is approved?

I’ve heard sometimes people get their gc before the 140 is approved, not sure if it’s true or just an old wives’ tale

funny

I’ve heard for eb1, but anecdotal

I sure hope they mix mine up and approve gc before i140

funny

i-485 cant be approved without an approved i-140. if it happens, uscis messes it up

Your biometrics related to the 485 can happen before the I-140 is approved, as well as I-131 and I-765 basically the Advance parole and EAD (related to the underling 485). So in a sense yes the processing happens in parallel. Actual 485 approval is always after the 140 approval, though.
