Update on Jan - Feb - March 2024 filers!!!
Any update on the Jan - March 24 regular processing filers? if your case has been approved recently (within a month) please do share. Trying to get some hopes up. It's been very frustating. Mine is pending for 835 days...
Among them if you had also filed 485 and got EAD/AOS approved do also let us know and share your timeline.
Approved!!!
Praise the Lord! After a long and difficult wait, it has been approved. I can't tell you how excruciating this wait was, but I am grateful it ended well.
Don’t lose hope. They are organizing the system and processing cases correctly. If you followed the rules, you don’t need to worry about your case.
I will be praying for everyone who remains in line.
I am a religious worker, and my priority date was October 8, 2021. I received a Request for Evidence regarding employment and medicals on May 14. A few days after they confirmed receipt of the response, they approved our cases (family included).
God is good all the time!

Filing date error
Need inspiration please for my family and I .
Our filing date 8/8/2022.
PD 9/1/2021.
Heard today that 10/24/2025 received the notice I received last year called “reject after ingest”, resets my filing date from 8/8/2022 to 12/8/2025. my Immigration attorney re-filed 12/8/2025 as a corrective measure I was told. Attorney says it was due to an administrative error by USCIS and we have to just re-file although it is not our (aka the attorney’s) mistake.
I wanted them to do a follow up to see where our case currently is located. I noticed everyone speaks about “asking emma”. I was under the impression all along that this “administrative mistake” would not cause me any delays any longer.
Was just informed that earliest I can do an inquiry is in 2029. Another 35+ months. How is this possible? 485J medicals every is up to date and filed. No interview. No RFE. Not one of 75 countries.
Reject after ingest notice seems to have never been received by the attorney nor me. Attorney says they don’t even know if it really was rejected or not because nobody ever received the notice, just metely and update on the portal. And they renewed my EAD in November 2025 which I applied to be renewed before the “apparent reject after ingest” which I was told was an administrative error by uscis, that is why they had to re-submit everything.
Does this mean I really have to wait another 35+ months or is there hope?
Does it really mean I can’t even ask this Emma where my case currently is? National benefits center or a field office?
Anyone ever had the same issue or experience?
Vawa case with employer sponsorship
I have a pending VAWA immigration case and a valid work permit. I recently received a job offer, and the employer said they can sponsor me. I’m wondering: if I start this job and they sponsor me, will my current case be denied? Or can both cases run in parallel the new employment‑based sponsorship and my current pending case? Has anyone been in this situation or knows how it works?
Thanknyou

Immigration attorneys here. Ask us anything about your case.
Hi everyone. We're the attorney team at Manifest Law. Between us, we have over 11+ years of experience and thousands of cases handled across family-based, employment-based, and humanitarian filings.
We know how this works. You post your PD, your service center, your officer review date, and you hope someone with the exact same case shows up with good news. We want to offer something more reliable than timeline matching: direct answers from attorneys who have handled thousands of cases like yours.
We'll be answering questions starting Thursday, June 11 at 11 a.m. EST, all the way through Friday 6 p.m. EST. Post whenever you can and we will get to it. Some of what we have been seeing lately:
- Post-interview waits and what "actively reviewed" actually means
- RFE responses that have gone months without an update
VAWA timelines and prima facie determinations
- Canned USCIS replies to service requests, and yes, most of them mean nothing
- When a delay justifies escalation, including congressional inquiries and mandamus
- But that is just what is trending on Reddit right now. AOS, - EADs, consular processing, work visas, Green Cards, citizenship, denials, appeals, or something that does not fit any neat category. If it is sitting on your mind, ask.
- Whichever attorney is best placed for your question will - answer, and we will give you the honest answer even when it is not the comforting one.
