Greened!
Hello All,
happy to share the timeline which started as NIW and, following the RFE in two prongs, became an expedited EB1-A approved in a week. Concurrent I-485 was transferred to approved petition and a little over 3 years later we’re greened. It’s a journey about resilience… this community was of great help. I just think that people should not be here every day… see folks submitting docs and asking about how long the updates take… uscis system is full of flaws. our last RFE for new medical exam did not even show there… live your lives and don’t lose sight of the big picture.
wish you all abundance and success!!

Lack of transparency
Does anyone know why USCIS is so pathetic? They already started working on July 2023 cases. I know several USC who filed in February, March, and April who are also still waiting.
The least they can do is be transparent and let us know what’s going on. This way we at least know if our case was looked at in a reasonable first in first out basis and there’s something else causing the delay, such as requiring extra diligence in background checks.
but no, they’d rather keep us miserably checking the status every 30 minutes after already waiting for 14 months.
