RENEWAL EAD C08
few days after I got a notice that my work permit is approved now the card is being processed applied Jan 2025 and when I went to renew my driver’s license that’s when the case was sent to usics to verify if am eligible and entered this country legit after a month USICS sent results back to RMV now next month I will go for its renewal my driver’s license and I wait this week to get my EAD as well
Green card processing time
it seems like USCIS is changing the processing time every month the updated processing time to process 80% raised to 16.5 last month it was 15.5 and then it went to 16 and now 16.5 and as will there is a tool in their website that when you can ask question regarding your pending I-485 for me which my filling date is may/2024 it jumped from jan 20/2026 to mar 20/2026
EAD approved after almost 4 months(May 7th)!
I wanted to share my experience in case it helps others. I filed an expedite request under humanitarian grounds while also facing the risk of losing a job offer. I uploaded the request under unsolicited evidence and followed up with USCIS the next day. Soon after, I received an email that my case had been forwarded to the Nebraska Service Center.
I’m very grateful to this community—I saw a similar case here last month that got approved quickly, which encouraged me to try. If I was able to do it, so can you. There’s no harm in trying!
I passed my civic test back in 7/2023 and today I got another notification that my interview was scheduled for N400. what should I do? can I bring my lawyer with me.?
my first interview was about civic test and N400. after I signed the IO asked me again why my green card application and my N400 didn’t match about time moved to the same address.
I was waiting since 7/2023 until now and I got another notification about second interview N400. I’m very nervous and dont know what to prepare . can someone give me some advise plseas?

Golden Tip
🔍 How to Use the JSON Trick on USCIS Case Status
This only works in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge (since they both use Chromium).
Step 1: Open Your Case
• Go to the official USCIS case status page.
• Enter your receipt number and hit search.
Step 2: Open Developer Tools
• On Windows: Press CTRL + SHIFT + I.
• On Mac: Press CMD + OPTION + I.
This opens the Developer Tools panel.
Step 3: Find the Network Data
• In the panel, click the Network tab.
• Refresh the page (F5).
• Look for a request called something like:
case status/receipt number
Step 4: Inspect the JSON
• Click that request.
• Go to the Preview or Response tab.
• You’ll see the hidden JSON data — way more detailed than the public “Case is being processed” message.
⸻
📊 What You’ll See in JSON
• milestone_days_remaining → Countdown to the next action (interview, oath, etc.).
• overall_days_remaining → Estimated overall time left.
• action_code → Internal shorthand:
• FTA0 = File is in queue, waiting for action.
• XFER = Case transferred to another office.
• SCHD = Scheduling in progress.
• statusCode / milestone_code → Tracks each major step (biometrics, interview, oath).
Guidance is highly appreciated. I-140
The application submission date was October 23, 2024. My case status is "received and receipt notice sent". Does anyone know the current thoughts of America? Is there any chance that my case status will change by 2025? I am really frustrated. I can't change my job. I can't concentrate on anything. I don't know what to do?
Thank you for listening to me.

This will allow you to view your case better than Emma as if you were speaking to a Tier 2 officer

Timeline from J1 to Marriage Greencard
we had a pretty smooth process because we had great evidence of our relationship and I requested my change if status while I was still working under my J1. also specifically for me, I was supposed to get a Waiver for the 212(e) two year rule because it was not applicable for me. but since the change on the guidelines for the Skills and countries my country no longer require it. which makde that part not required for me.

SIJS
Hi, good morning! How are you all doing? I'm currently in the process of SIJS and I'm feeling a bit scared.
I have deferred action and I'm just waiting for my I-485 - my priority date is September 23, 2023.
Do you think I'm at risk of deportation? And how long do you estimate it might take for my date to be current?
(I came through the border and my removal case has been terminated.)
