Green card received! (F2A Filed Concurrently in the US)
Green Card received! 🎉
What a long journey, but it's finally over. I'm so happy and relieved.
Wishing everyone who's still waiting the very best of luck! 🍀
Ps. I130 approved on Dec 2023. Had an interview but it was pretty simple. I uploaded new evidence before the interview. Pretty nervous about the interview since it was after the memo but it went well! Got super nice officer. He didn't even look any of docs we brought. He arranged new biometrics since it was expired (?). The officer could've sent me RFE for that but He made me do that on the same day after my interview.
I485 approved right next day.

Finally Greened 🍀
The I-485 took seven and a half months from the receipt date to approval. I filed the adjustment-of-status application myself. Thank you to everyone who shared timelines, answered questions during my DIY, and offered encouragement. I hope my timeline helps others who are still waiting. Please feel free to ask questions about the process.

Fingerprints Re-Used
Case went from Case Remains Pending (CRP) to Fingerprints Were Taken. I had my interview about a year ago and submitted all required documents, including my medical exam. My case is currently at the New York Field Office, and about a week ago I received the fingerprint update. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation? If so, what was the next step in your case, and how long did it take to get any update. Thank you.

Biometrics scheduled again after interview
I had my interview back in December, everything went well, but ever since no updates. My case was transferred from local office to NBC on the same day of interview and has been CRP since then.
Now I got a letter for biometrics appointment again?
Anyone had the same situation happening?
My PD is 05/21

Change of adress (state) interview post interview can trigger case transfer/ delay before approval
My marriage based AOS interview was done 20 days ago no approval on i130 or i485 yet and I want to move to another state.
Will change of address before approval trigger transfer of file to new state and cause delay for results?
