Need I-485 DIY Help
Hi All, After seeing this unexpected move, I’m wondering how to prepare for I-485 via myself. I really can’t pay for lawyers. How long will it take to prepare the docs and to be ready to submit? I didn’t collect anything yet. 
Please help with your thoughts: 
1. What documents do I have to prepare? 
2. How long does it take to the immunization process? 
3. How to find a doctor for the immunization process? 
4. I’m from a country where we used to not get birth certificates. our birth certificates are dated way after our birth. so how to prepare this document? 
I appreciate Any help/links for free DIY files.
F2A
I have a question if you know then please answer to my question.
according to October 2025 Visa Bulletin for f2a category the final action date is current till February 2024.So my question is that is there any chance to get i130 approve more faster for f2a category because they are currently approving July 2022 i130 and there is a huge difference between the Visa Bulletin date and approving date. my PD is 2022 October. 
only answer who knows well about this don't confuse other or spread wrong information.
Thank you💕💕
i130 pending
I just received this notification from USCIS 
“Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS. After receiving your application, USCIS is now processing it. Nothing is required from your side at this point. Since the processing time varies depending on visa types, how long this message will stay could differ.”
	•	My interview was already completed on April 14.
	•	This morning (September 15), I received this new notification.
I want to ask those of you who also have pending cases: Does this update usually mean something positive (a good sign), or is it just a standard update without much meaning?
If anyone has had a similar experience, I would really appreciate hearing your thoughts.
long waiting time
I filed my application I-130 & I-485 in September 2023, I made interview in April 2024 and the FDNS officer visit us in October 2024, the FDNS officer mentioned everything looks great you will hear back from us between 1-3 months, since that nothing changed and now it’s been almost a year and no update.
note: We visited the feild office and keep call them and same answer everytime just wait.
Until when?!!!
