Quitting after interview
Hi guys,
Looking for an advice...
I've been working for my sponsor for 2,5 now, already had my interview back in December, the officer said everything was fine and we were approved, but we haven't received any answers since that.
I am really tired of working for my sponsor and I am thinking of quitting. I know I could wait a little longer, but I don't want to 😓
My question is, will that be a problem for my case since I have been working this long and already had the interview?
Thank you 😊

Advise on EB-2 NIW filing
Hello to all the great people on here. I'm considering filing EB-2 NIW now that the visa bulletin is current beginning March 2026 for this category. I previously filed under the EB-1A category (through lawyer) and it has been 18 months and is yet to hear back from USCIS. No RFEs, etc; just "case is still being processed". I'm ROW from 75 temporarily banned countries.
Pls advise me base on the strategy I want to use:
1. File EB-2 NIW premium processing by myself (can I file online?)/should I use the lawyer which is costly and slow!
2. when approved, ask lawyer to interfile my I-485 thereby linking it to my previous case.
PS: I already have approved EAD since March 2025 valid for five years. Although initially filed by the lawyer, I personally filed my expedited request through my online portal - and is was approved! Expedite reason was national interest and demand for my profession.
Your advise based on your experience(s) would greatly be appreciated.
Combo interview I-751 and N-400
I had my combo I‑751/N‑400 interview at the Baltimore Field Office on February 9, 2026. The interview went smoothly — the officer reviewed my case with spouse, asked me to provide updated joint documents, and I completed and passed the N‑400 civics test.
At the end, the officer gave me the N‑652 form showing that I passed the test, but that a decision could not be made at that time. Since then, I haven’t received any updates. Both my I‑751 and N‑400 still show “Interview Was Scheduled” online.
Has anyone had a similar experience at the Baltimore office? How long did it take for your case to update after the interview?
I’d appreciate hearing about your timelines and experiences.
Thank you!
❗️Inquiry Regarding I-751 Processing Timeline + Change in address due to move to a different state ❗️
Hello everyone,
I’m trying to gauge where the California Service Center (CSC) is at with I-751s. I filed in early 2024 and got my extension letter pretty quickly, but it’s been total silence since then.
Is anyone else from the Q1 2024 batch seeing any approvals lately?
Also, my spouse and I are about to move to a new state. Has anyone seen their timeline change much after a move?
P.S. For context, I’m not eligible to "jump the line" with an N-400 filing yet, so I’m just waiting on the standalone I-751.
Thank you in advance!

EB-4 Almost There? Final Action July 2021, PD September 2021
We just saw that for this February, the EB-4 visa bulletin shows a final action date of July 15, 2021. Our priority date is September 23, 2021.
Based on this movement, how much longer do you think we might need to wait? Since it’s only February, is there a possibility that the EB-4 category could become current up to our date later this year, or could it retrogress or close if the annual quota gets used up?
Do you think we may realistically need to wait until the new fiscal year in October for further movement?
