Could anyone advise?

Case transferred to a local FO

Hi everyone, I was told yesterday that my case was transferred to a local FO (Chicago). I have gotten two answers regarding the interview. They said it is waived and other agents said we can't tell me that info. So, i am confused and scared . Is it possible that i get approved without an interview? why did they transfer my case to a local FO

officially a year since last update “case still processing” 🥲

I would like to ask for help from those of you who have already gone through the interview. I’d like to ask that you share the questions you were asked, especially the ones you consider most important, and also how you answered them. I would also like to know whether anyone here was asked how they supported themselves financially before receiving work authorization, and what their answer was. If possible, let’s keep the comments only to those who have already had the interview. I believe this will help many people here feel more prepared.

pending case . when is the time submit a writ of mandamus ?

so my case is been pending for a year now I applied 2 years ago on may 2024 my case was placed pending due to the visa unavailability but according to the visa bulletin my date is current (Feb,20,2020 ) despite the visa bulletin my case remains pending with no request for evidence or further action . I call USCIS and they just said still under processing times but other cases with PD of 2021,2022 already been approved I request the assistance from the congressman I’m waiting for their response but I’m afraid they just respond with a still on processing times should I filled a mandamus or what should I do if they just come out with that ? does anyone here have done it before ?

My case was saying still being processed since 12/11/2024 and I just got an email ‘We took action on your case’ and when I logged in in just says case still being processed but with TODAY’s date. Anyone knows what this means?

This wait has been frustrating. My priority date is June 2022, and I'm currently on that date, but I see almost no one with that priority date getting any updates on their process 🥺 Last year, I had to renew my work permit, and it wasn’t difficult—I was able to get it renewed quickly, with an expiration date set for 2030.

EB2 NIW I-140, waiting time for approval

i have been waiting for the approval since 1.9 years after filling the case on normal basis not express, altough I am living in a country where the ban is imposed but I have heared that that doesnt effect the approval, but the last message I got was "Case is still being processed by USCIS" and thats it, no anyother update or message. I need to ask the experts and experience holders of EB2 NIW, what should I do, should I wait or file express, as currently my priority date has also been passed. my consultant has asked me to wait, but I need to get the second opinion on this from other field experts too. Thanks in advance.

any ideas why my i485 was transferred to a local office while i-30 is still at NBC? I filed concurrently. any insights?

anyone here recently got approved for F2A? will be current now in May, so wondering how long after becoming current one should expect to receive their green card?
