Update on my case after my post last week. Noir.
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 April 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 April 2025.
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.
Update: I got an action has been taken email. I checked and I485 updated from frozen medical response from 15 months to FTA1 ackedByAdjudicatorAndCms true. USCIS is currently processing the case.
I130 silent updatedAtTimestamp and ackedByAdjudicatorAndCms true. H008 approval code locked in. I'm hoping I will see more Good news this week.

traveling to Puerto Rico or US Virgin Islands with EAD & Real ID
Has any travel to Puerto Rico with just their real ID and work permit. I’m planning to visit PR or US Virgin Islands but I don’t want to have any issues with immigration while my case is pending. pls share ur experience and what to expect. thanks
Over 3 months of i130 approval, and no updates on EAD or i485. it’s been a long and stressful journey!
We can’t work or do anything without a work permit. it’s been long months of wait.
