Finally!!!!!
Hi Guys
Finally got my approvals. It was a tough journey yet learned a lot from the experience I got. I wish each and everyone the best on their pending cases. Yes, is worth the wait and patience. My advice is, learn to take charge on your cases and don't relax. Respond to requests from USCIS earlier to prevent further delays and make frequent checks on your cases to get first hand updates. It is a tough journey but also you need that waiting and patience spirit. God help you all.

Looks like Oct 2026 for any movement for EB1. Any thoughts when the visa bulletin will advance?

Hello folks,
"Is it normal for the status of an I-140 application to be updated to 'Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS' a second time on June 8th, 2025? I previously received the same update on April 21, 2025, and my application is under premium processing. after submitting it on April 19th 2025
traveling within the US
Hi I am under F1 right now and doing the process of EB3, I am planning to travel to Texas this summer with a real id, has anyone have any troubles with traveling within the US recently? I am a little bit nervous with the travel ban and stuff ( I am not from the 12 countries of travel ban) thank you!
gc interview for 2nd year anniversary
Hey everyone! My green card interview got scheduled for July 10, which is also our 2nd wedding anniversary. Some friends are saying I might get a 10-year green card instead of the 2-year conditional one since the marriage hits the 2-year mark that day. Others suggested rescheduling just to be safe.
I looked into it, and here’s what I found:
➡️ If your marriage is 2 years or more on the day of your interview or green card approval, you get a 10-year green card.
➡️ Since my interview is exactly on the 2-year mark, I should qualify for the 10-year card—as long as the officer approves it on the same day.
➡️ No need to reschedule unless the interview date was before the anniversary.
I’m planning to bring a copy of our marriage certificate and just kindly mention it’s our anniversary, so there’s no confusion.
If anyone else has been through something similar, I’d love to hear how it went!
