F2A approvals - consular processing
Anyone knows why have uscis stopped working on F2A consular cases? Every time that I check when my case will be outside normal processing times, it has increased; my PD is September 2023.
If there is someone who has been approved recently and it's a consular processing, please share your dates.

Travel with travel permit
I’m planning to travel abroad to visit my mother, as her health has been declining recently.
I need to make this trip either this coming fall or winter.
Is anyone else planning to travel outside the country with an advance parole (travel permit) soon?
I’m quite anxious about the process, but my mother truly wants to see me, and I don't want to have any regrets later.
my PD is Jan 2022, my 485 application status is case remain pending.
I have an EAD card and travel permit.
I’m wondering your opinions.
Biometrics Scheduling
Has anyone who filed EB3 I485 in mid-May received their biometrics appointment yet? I’m at 25 days and don’t know if it should have been scheduled by now? With many cases, I’ve seen biometrics fully completed by 1 month after filing, but I haven’t even had an appointment scheduled yet. Any recent timeline insight would be appreciated!
EB3 ROW, not from any paused countries.
Final Action Dates are current in my case.
finally approved after almost 4 years.
out of our family of 4, our 11 year old's is still pending for some reason. hopefully soon. I thank this community for all the information and support. good luck everyone.

H-4 EAD Pending After RFE Response – Concurrent H-1B/H-4 Filing
H-1B (I-129), H-4 (I-539), and H-4 EAD (I-765) were filed concurrently on April 1, 2026.
The H-1B and H-4 were approved under premium processing on April 15, 2026. However, the H-4 EAD at the Texas Service Center is still pending. USCIS received the RFE response for the EAD on April 30, 2026, and there have been no updates since then.
Has anyone with a similar timeline at the Texas Service Center received their H-4 EAD approval? How long did it take after the RFE response was received?
Thank you!
Based on being an H-4 spouse of an H-1B nonimmigrant (filed with I-539 H4)

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
