Insight and Clarification
Exactly 90 days today my i-360 was approved and afterward, I made inquiries about the status of my pending i-485 I have not received RFE since the i-360 was approved, and today I got this email from USCIS. Has anyone else experienced this while waiting for RFE? Form Number: I485 Receipt Number: Thank you for your inquiry. We have received your request and are working diligently to process your case within the processing times posted on the USCIS website. For your reference, USCIS processing time are available here. Due to the high volume of work we are currently receiving, it may take longer to provide you with a final adjudicative decision. We appreciate your continued patience. We encourage you to create a USCIS online account so that you can file forms online and track your case anytime from anywhere. Steps to creating an account can be found here. If you work with an attorney or representative, they can also create their own account to manage your case, but they cannot use your account.

feeling pretty down and out about this process at the moment :/
hello friends! just a bit of a venting post. it's been a pretty emotional process, and curious about how everyone else’s process is going. i understand the expectation and statistics around I-130 cases reflect usually a year-long wait before receiving approval, and i also understand others have waited much longer than that. i definitely do not speak as to discredit others that may have been toughing it longer! my husband (AU citizen) and i (US citizen) filed our I-130 on our own online on jan 9th 2024 and were sent to 'being actively reviewed' by jan 19th 2024. our case is at the texas service center at the moment. we completely understand the uscis portal's progress tab is inaccurate and shouldn't be trusted, so i feel silly for holding onto the hope that it'll reflect anything accurate. since filing, we have been "lucky enough" to have received a countdown not once but twice in the portal that got to one week before jumping to "your case is taking longer than expected to process. you will be notified if you need to take any action". it's been super disheartening to say the least. the first time our countdown reached one week, it was pretty unbelievable and felt too good to be true.. aaaand we were correct. it jumped to taking longer to process once the one week passed. i feel pretty disappointed in myself to have believed seeing the same thing happen again in the portal a second time would've produced different outcome. my heart hurts. thank you, if you've taken the time to read my post! we're trying to stay as optimistic as we can because we're just ready to have him come home and be with my family and i in california. i know that others are struggling with worse situations than we are, and we're grateful to have the chance to work towards him moving here. my heart and my hopes go out to all of us who are sitting in these big feelings and riding through this difficult process together. fingers crossed for all of us. 🤞
