Interview Approved on Aug 14th – Still No Update in the System
I had my interview on August 14th. The officer told us we were approved, but she didn’t give me any paper. She said I would see the update on the portal by Monday or Tuesday after the interview, but until now nothing has changed.
I’m feeling a bit sad about the wait. Has anyone else experienced the same? How long did it take for your update to appear after the interview?

Has anyone else experienced this?
We attended our green card interview on August 14, 2025, but have not received any updates since then. Our online case status continues to show ‘Case is being actively reviewed.’ Could you please advise on the next steps or provide an update on the status of our application

Ok Y'all! It's our turn now lol
Both my 485 and my wife's 485 were approved this morning. The feeling is truly surreal. I am grateful and happy to be honest. I remember when I posted few months ago how frustrated I was lol. Guess time is what we all need. Time and patience.
Anyway see my timeline below. I have one dependent also applying. Both cases moved to Chicago Field office around June 20. Hopefully, everyone else waiting will get the good news soon.
See y'all in 2030 when applying for Citizenship.
