Hello! Not sure if there is already a topic like this (I apologize if there is) but could not locate it. Will keep it simple. We received our NOA dated 10/26/2021 for our I-765. The National Benefits Center is where it is stated as the processing center. Currently, it says it takes about 8.5 months to receive our working permit...but it has been more than that for us. We have submitted an inquiry into this last month and then today as well. Is there anything else we can do? (Plan to call them next Monday...though not sure if there's any competent government agencies out there these days...) Thanks.

Hello, My wife and I have been patiently waiting for our I-485, 765, and 131 to be approved (like many of you in past or currently). Our biometric appointment was Nov 26, 2021 and we were excited about the possibility of this turning around quickly...or we thought. We see that the average time for the 765 is around 200 days but when we check up on the processing time on USCIS for CA, it comes out to be...15.5 months(?!). Just wondering if I am being dumb when I also check off Form Category as "Based on a pending I-485 adjustment application [(c)(9)]" for the processing time. Or am I supposed to be looking somewhere else... :( Any advice would be appreciated so thank you.
