Concurrent filing processing
In some situations, an applicant is eligible to file Form I-140 and Form I-485 at the same time. This is known as concurrent filing. By filing both forms together, the overall EB1 processing time is shortened. In this process, an applicant doesn’t have to wait for the I-140 to get approved before filing the I-485.
In order to file the application Form I-140 and I-485 concurrently, the EB1 subcategory that the applicants are applying for must be current. If the visa is has currently no waitlist then the applicant can file the I-140 and the I-485 simultaneously. If there is a waitlist, they have to wait until their I-140 is approved and then wait for your visa to become current (get to the front of the line) before filing your I-485.
To apply for EB-1 visa it is necessary to file both of these Form I-140 and I-485 as it is essential to get the visa.
After the Form I-140 and I-485 is approved then depending on the country of origin, the USCIS will process the visa either immediate or after several months. The average processing time for the EB-1 visa is between 6-8 months.
