Finally received my Green Card today!
I wanted to share my complete timeline because this community was incredibly helpful throughout my journey.
My timeline:
Priority Date: 04/21/2023
I-140 Approved: May 2025
I-485/I-485J Filed: 11/24/2025
Biometrics: 12/23/2025
Transferred to Seattle Field Office: 01/22/2026 (confirmed by Emma)
Case activity:
05/17: First silent update.
05/29: Second silent update + 3rd FTA0 + I-485J silent update.
06/06: 1st FTA1 + Active Review.
06/26: 2nd FTA1 + Active Review.
06/29: I-485J Approved + I-485 silent update.
06/30: I-485 Approved.
07/09: Card Was Produced.
07/14: 💚 Green Card received in hand!
One thing I learned is that silent updates don’t necessarily mean something is wrong. My case had multiple silent updates, FTA0s, FTA1s, and internal movements before approval. Looking back, they were signs that my case was actively being worked on, even though it didn’t feel that way at the time.
To everyone who is still waiting , please don’t lose hope. I know how frustrating it is to watch newer cases get approved first, and I remember thinking my case had been forgotten. But eventually, everything moved very quickly.
Thank you to everyone in this community for answering questions, sharing timelines, and keeping each other encouraged. This community helped me get through one of the most stressful periods of my immigration journey.
Don’t lose faith. Your approval will come. Wishing everyone the very best! 🍀🇺🇸❤️

I got approved today! I never expected it to happen this month, especially after receiving an RFE on July 7. I submitted my response on July 10, and today, my case was approved. God truly moves in incredible ways. He surprised me beyond my expectations. Thank You, Jehovah ! All glory belongs to You! 🙏❤️

marriage based green card (I-130 and I-485) interview while Asylum is pending in court.
Question, I need answers please!!
I have a pending asylum application that got transferred to Immigration court, I had my first master calendar hearing back in February but the judge rescheduled it to July 29th.
but way before USCIS sent my asylum application to court, my Wife and I had already submitted my I-130 and I-485 application, 2 weeks ago I got a notification that our marriage based interview has been scheduled for July 30th (a day after my second court hearing).
so my question is, since USCIS can not adjudicate over my I-485 due to the fact that I’m currently in court proceedings, do I ask the judge to dismiss my asylum application on that day, that way USCIS can adjudicate over my I-130 and I-485 the next day?
or is that a bad idea?
Attorney delaying submission of medicals
my attorney (paid by the enployer) obtained my RFE for medicals July 2. I asked about the update but neither he nor his paralegal are unresponsive, although the paralegal said she received medicals from me and does not need anything else at this point. It has been two weeks almost, I waited four years for this, and lack of appropriate communication, I consider this unreasonable delay. Did anyone have a similar experience? I am considering to email him again to request medicals back and send them myself. Any thoughts?
