I-485 admin closed due to unknown removal proceedings — jurisdiction restored 10/20/2025 (NBC). Interview waiver experiences?
Marriage-based AOS (IOE), filed 05/08/2023
• Married Nov 2022, petitioner is USC, beneficiary is Brazilian citizen
• Medical (I-693) submitted with initial packet
• Biometrics 2023
• EAD received Dec 2023
• I-130 approved Jan 28, 2025
• No RFE / no criminal issues
Important background: my I-485 was administratively closed because I was in removal proceedings (we didn’t know). AP was denied due to no USCIS jurisdiction. Removal case is resolved/terminated and USCIS regained jurisdiction on 10/20/2025.
API: 3x FTA0 on 12/10/2025. Since then only H028 “touches”. myProgress shows Step 4 “Case decision”.
Questions:
1. Anyone with AOS after removal proceedings terminated get approved without interview?
2. Did you see FO transfer before interview scheduling?
3. Any patterns with 3–4 FTA0 before approval?
Thanks in advance!

I-751 Joint Filing → Separation & Divorce Pending – What to Expect?
Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice or similar experiences.
I filed I-751 jointly on March 1, 2024. My spouse and I separated in July 2025, and I updated my address with USCIS the same week. I filed for divorce shortly after, but service was delayed because the sheriff couldn’t locate him. I eventually used a special process server, and he was served in December 2025 and filed an appearance. We don’t have a court date yet.
As of today, I’m still in status with the 4-year extension, but I haven’t received my 10-year green card, even though it’s been about 690 days since filing. I also have limited joint evidence, which was part of the reason for the separation (finances and decisions were mostly controlled by my spouse).
I spoke with a lawyer who advised me to wait until the divorce is finalized before notifying USCIS and converting to a divorce waiver.
Has anyone been in a similar situation?
What should I expect next—RFE, interview, or continued delay?
Would you wait for the divorce decree or notify USCIS now?
Thanks in advance.
