If you are in the H1B waiting game, this made it a lot less painful
Between the lottery, the receipt notice, and then just waiting on the petition, the H1B process is a black box. I was checking USCIS constantly and learning nothing. A few things on MyCasesHub actually helped.
The case tracking pulls my petition status live and shows how it is moving compared to other H1B filers at the same service center, so I could tell whether my timeline was normal.
But the part I did not expect to use so much is the H1B data hub. You can look up which employers actually sponsor, how many petitions they file, and the prevailing wage and real salary data for your role and location. It is built on the actual USCIS and DOL filings, so when I was weighing offers and thinking about my next petition it was genuinely useful, not marketing fluff.
Most of it is free to check. If you are stuck refreshing your case, start here: https://mycaseshub.com/h1b

Anyone who can help explain this to me please?
I'm posting to see if anyone has experienced something similar or can help me understand what's happening with my case.
Here's my timeline:
My I-130 was approved in 2025.
The same day, USCIS requested a new medical exam because my previous one had expired.
I completed the medical exam within two weeks, and USCIS acknowledged receiving it. However, my I-485 has remained at "Response Received" ever since.
About three months later, I received a Notice of Intent to Revoke (NOIR) on my I-130, alleging an invalid divorce decree.
I am from one of the 39+ countries affected by the policy at that time. I responded to the NOIR within the 30-day deadline, and USCIS confirmed they received and accepted my response.
In June 2025, I saw my first FTA1 update.
In August 2025, I received another FTA1 update.
On December 29, 2025, both my I-130 and I-485 were updated.
Before that, in November 2025, USCIS told our senator that my case was under supervisory review.
Then, on December 29, 2025, USCIS told our senator that my case was being held because of the policy memo affecting applicants from the 39+ countries.
I also noticed that my I-130 was showing under the Field Office (FOD) in the secure messaging endpoint.
After the court lifted the memo, the FOD designation disappeared from the secure messaging endpoint.
A few days later, my I-485 received a silent update.
Since then, my I-130 has repeatedly shown the H008 internal code, with updates occurring almost every day, but there has been no official case status change.
Has anyone experienced something like this? Does anyone know what repeated H008 updates after a NOIR response and the removal of the FOD designation might indicate? I'd really appreciate any insight or similar experiences. Thank you.
LIN I-485 case that’s stuck in NBC
I just called USCIS, got Tier 1 support, told him I’ve been waiting for 90days since my RFE was received, and given my 485 recipt date, he told me case in process, and there is no set normal processing time since it changes, and wouldn’t transfer me to a tier 2 agent. When I tried to file online inquiry, the system won’t let me. Does this mean the current wait time after RFE is normal so I can’t file an online inquiry?
Mandsmus
Today I want to share something important: I have my mandamus ready, prepared by myself, and I will be submitting it today without a lawyer.
It has been a long process, with a lot of study, patience, and effort. I trust in God and that this step will bring me closer to an answer in my case.
🙏🏽 One more step.
Hoy quiero compartir algo importante: tengo mi mandamus listo, preparado por mí mismo, y lo presentaré hoy sin abogado.
Ha sido un proceso largo, con mucho estudio, paciencia y esfuerzo. Confío en Dios y en que este paso me acercará a una respuesta en mi caso.
🙏🏽 Un paso más. #mandamus #I-485
