Question!!
Hi!
I filed my I-485 based on employment (EB3 Skilled) in March 2023, and it's being processed by the National Benefits Center. It's been over 2 years (about 851 days), and I still haven't received any decision, the last update was they used the fingerprint they got.. I submitted an inquiry back in January, but the response was just that they are working on it.
Is anyone else going through a similar delay? Is this wait normal? Any advice on what I should do next?
Thanks in advance!
Good luck to you all 😺🇺🇸
I'm done with my process. It could be faster, but I am happy with the timeline I got my Naturalization.

my case got approved today after 21 months (pd sep 2023) Potomac service center. Married to US CITIZEN
I got approved without an interview!
Even though I live in Virginia, my case was transferred to the San Fernando Valley, CA field office. Just three days ago, I received a Public Charge RFE, and I submitted my response online within a day. Today, they reviewed and approved my case!
Thank you all for the support and encouragement on this platform. I wanted to share my experience in case it helps ease the minds of those who have been waiting for over a year.
I have another pending case EB3 unskilled. which is still not current in the visa bulletin. USCIS denied my i485 yesterday for this category and approved the marriage based today. i believe they did this so that they can approve and close the the other application.
I also uploaded unsolicited evidence on my online account like photos, tax returns, lease and other joint stuff. My I-130 was approved 5 days ago.
i485 saying case is actively reviewed after 1 month from the interview
and i130 saying:
