Greened 💚 Approved While Overseas
Finally my turn. I hope this post helps someone like this community has helped me. Leave comment if you have any questions.
PD: Dec 22, 2022
ROW. SRC. Field Office. No interview. No RFE.
PD became current on April 2025.
My green card was approved while I was overseas with an emergency advance parole. I was abroad for 6 weeks due to a family emergency and returned to US yesterday morning (Aug. 8, 2025) through SEA. While I was abroad, I got a USPS informed delivery email that USCIS sent me something. I checked the case status and saw that my card was mailed to me.
Hold on to it, everyone. I was tempted to give up so many times but I'm glad I sticked with it. The end is near.

Any way to get to the US sooner?
so i recently submitted form i-130 for my husband who is in Pakistan. he has never been to USA. i am a US citizen. i wanted to know if there is any way he can come here sooner just so we can start our life together. would i need to submit some kind of form so he can come here while he waits for the uscis approval. or come here on visit visa(dont know if that’ll get approved). but any way he can come here sooner would be nice. i heard i can also submit a k-3 visa after i-130 so he can come sooner or the process for spouse visa is faster. but im not sure about it. i heard i-130 processing time is shorter now so k-3 visa is useless because you get i-130 approved before k-3 form is available. can you please guide me. thank you.
still waiting…..
still waiting for 485🥺. what might be the reason for such a long delay? does someone have this experience or heard about that ?
I am so stressed out, I contacted to local congressman but didn’t help!!

Case Was Submitted For Quality Review Based On An Approval Recommendation
hi Guys I went to the interview I had some extra documents that I didnt upload to the online account I gave them to the officier I passed my test and everything went well the officier told I have to review the new documents you gave me and will put my decision at the end of the day he gave me the piece of paper saying passed the test but desicion cannot be made
the next day I recieved a notification saying "Case Was Submitted For Quality Review Based On An Approval Recommendation" but no oath in line yet so what does this mean? anyone experienced the same update?
i called uscis they told me that they can see kn their end that I'm approved and on line for oath but I didnt really believe them since its not updated online yet he said the system sometimes delays the update or doesnt show it but you're online for the oath anybody had the same update please share your timeline
