Administrative processing 221(g): wait times and statistics — is it a similar story with I-485 EB-1A?

Feels like I-485s under EB-1A have been put on an unofficial pause. For a couple of days they weren’t processing anything at all, then they started — at a snail’s pace. Is the limit coming to an end? They’re not announcing anything officially, but clearly something bad is happening. Has anyone who went through administrative processing 221(g) — have wait times increased now as well, is there any statistics?

Yeah, everyone’s on edge here — the limit seems close, but officially they’re keeping quiet.

Damn, I’d panic too, but without official info we’re just guessing.

My lawyer told me recently that premium processing for EB-1A often isn’t meeting its processing times right now — the backlog is wild. So yeah, something’s actually happening, but officially, as always, they’re quiet. Let’s wait for the next bulletin; maybe at least some numbers will show up.
