suggestion on further action
My time line:
Asylum case approved by San Francisco Immigration judge on Jan 3, 2024
mailed I485 form exactly after 1 year- Jan 3, 2025
i485 receipt date Jan 8, 2025.
It has been exactly 17 months(yesterday) since USCIS received my greencard application.
I actively read all the Asylum related posts in this community. One thing I have seen is greencard issuance right now is completely random. Seen people waiting for 3-5 years or more and also seen people getting approved in less than 15 months(who applied for GC in less than 1 year after asylum case approval).
I’ve seen WOM giving positive results to some while it getting dismissed for others.
Here I am seeking suggestions from you guys on how I should go about my application. I know there is no definitive answer. I am thinking of doing an inquiry through the local congressman’s office and then do a WOM. One strong point for me is that I waited the 1 year mark before applying for Green card so my total time since Asylum approval is 29 months (17+12).
I know 17 months vs 18 months does not make any significant difference. but do you think I should wait 1 more month to do the congressman inquiry just for the sake of it?
I am from one of the 75 countries but not from the 39 countries list.

Has anyone else here had the same issue?
My case was approved by USCIS, but it has not been transferred to the NVC yet.🥺🥺
My husband is a green card holder and he filed an I-130 petition for me on July 26, 2022. My case was approved by USCIS on January 21, 2026. However, the case has still not been transferred to the NVC.
We contacted the NVC to ask why we had not received a welcome letter, and they replied that they do not have our case in their system. After that, we contacted USCIS multiple times and submitted two inquiries, but there has been no progress or update so far.#greencard
