Address Change
So I was having a chat with Emma and she said my case has been returned to uscis for additional review, I asked why and this is what she said "USCIS mailed a document to you at the address we had on file at that time, but the post office returned it to us." I made a change of address since January!! online on uscis, was I supposed to go into USPS and make that change as well to receive mail from uscis? She also said I could've made the change while it was our for delivery, anyone had this issue? And what do I do in order for them to resend it? I changed my address it since JANUARY!!! help!

I have no idea to what’s holding my approval for I-485
It’s been over 3 years since concurrent filing for I-130 & I-485, finally our I-130 got approved Jan 2025 and nothing has been updated yet since! I have made several inquiries, reached out to congressman, called USCIS and all they said is that they are actively reviewing my case. I am very frustrated and depressed by such a long wait! Any ideas Fam about what else I can do?#3+years waiting#familyexpanding#noupdateatall

I am seeing blocks within mine been approved but there's a delay with mine (EB1). Block is MSC2590069. Customer care states the case is still with NBC and has not been transfered. No interview has been scheduled. My PD has always been current.
Any recommendation of what I can do? Please advice.

I-130//I-485 approval
Interview Approved – I-130 & I-485 (Marriage-based AOS)
Location: USCIS Washington Field Office
Interview Date: May 22, 2025
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to share an update — we had our marriage-based green card interview at the USCIS Washington Field Office, and both I-130 and I-485 were approved (I-130 on May 22, I-485 on May 23).
The officer was courteous and professional. She asked us some basic relationship questions, and it was clear she just wanted to verify that the marriage was real.
Here are some of the questions we were asked:
– When did you meet?
– When did your relationship become serious?
– Why did you get married shortly after meeting?
– What did you do together last weekend?
– Have you met each other’s parents?
– How many people attended your wedding?
– Do you live together now?
– Do you have a joint lease or shared bills?
– How many rooms are in your home, and who else lives there?
They also asked questions like:
– Do you have a joint bank account or health insurance?
– Have you traveled anywhere together?
– Have you ever had any legal issues, overstayed a visa, or applied for immigration before?
My timeline:
• I-130 Filed: September 14, 2024
• I-485 Filed: October 11, 2024
• Interview Date: May 22, 2025
• Approval Dates:
– I-130: May 22, 2025
– I-485: May 23, 2025
Tips for others:
– Be confident and honest.
– Organize your paperwork (IDs, marriage cert, photos, joint documents).
– Rehearse realistic questions with your spouse — not like a script, just naturally.
– Bring proof of joint life (leases, bank accounts, insurances, trips, etc.)
It’s a long journey, but Alhamdulillah it worked out. Wishing you all the best and approvals soon!
* Happy to answer any questions — good luck to everyone!
#Update : I just got my green card today 13 days just after interview 🙂🙂
green card interview
applied on October 2nd and am still waiting for approval. I haven’t received an interview call yet. In green card cases where the petitioner is a U.S. citizen spouse, is the USCIS interview mandatory, or is there a chance I could receive direct approval for the conditional green card without an interview?
