Dear Family ,

On 16 Oct I saw the Approval of my 1131 on my USCIS on-line account .
1. When I could expect to receive the notice by mail ? ( this is not valid for travel , right ? )
2. And when will I finally receive the official travel document for travel use ?
please help !
3.5 years later and GC finally approved 😭(after interview)
hi guys!
my time has finally come!!! I was so worried the last 2 months but everything worked out. I’m going to tell you guys how my interview went because I searched high and low and couldn’t find much.
so I had posted here that I felt that my case wasn’t right, because instead of approval they just said biometric applied, so a couple of weeks later my lawyer told me that they scheduled an interview back in the state where I applied my vawa (which I don’t live there anymore) and she told me that they could refuse to take my interview because I moved and send me to do one where I live now. or I could just have 2 interviews, you never know… we would only know on the day and she didn’t want to miss it because we could be lucky and they would just do my interview, again, you never know..
so the day of my interview was the 15th, had my lawyer with me, my appointment was at 9am, we waited around 15min until the officer called us in, he asked for my identification, and started the questions, confirmed that my case was a vawa, asked my last date of arrival in the us and if I ever left the country after I arrived (which was no), asked if I was ever convicted of any crime, if I was ever in front of a immigration judge (all no), if I was still married (no) asked for the record, asked if my spouse was an American citizen (which she wasn’t at the time, now I have no idea), then proceeded to confirm I had said yes to working without autorization and that I said yes that I violated the terms of my visa, he asked how long I worked without authorization and why I violated the terms of my visa (overstayed and worked without authorization), he then asked when me and my spouse separated (I asked if it was the divorce and he said no, so I said the date) my lawyer later said he couldn’t have asked that but he didnt ask a lot of questions and felt it was ok not to intervene, he then proceeded to tell me he wrote everything down and asked me to sign the 485 that the interview was done 🙏🏼😭 my lawyer confirmed he had my medicals and also gave him my 864 (I believe) in case they needed it, he said yes and ok. printed a piece of paper and handed to me and my lawyer, he said we were done with the interview, he would do another check and if I wasn’t a spy lol or committed any crime I should be good and would hear back from them in about 3/4 weeks, asked if I had any questions I said no, and he walked us out. I felt such a relieve, everything was around 15min and my lawyer said everything went great. I was just thinking that I would be refreshing the app for the rest of the week and 10min after the interview he approved my case.
GOD BLESS THIS MAN!!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
if you’re on the process just wait and that your turn is coming, the feeling of everything finally looking good after all that frustration is unbeatable! 🤍✨

Why does my timeline not show some things? Like biometrics for 765 and 131/ case decision.
Hi again, I did my biometrics and it shows it on my USICS account. Also, I am showing that I am in the decision stage for 765 and 131. But on this app my timeline does not show that. I see other peoples show biometrics and when something goes into approval/denial stage.
I have been stuck in “attend interview if required” for my 485 for months now.
Just frustrated. 😣
Feel like Gollum from Lord of the Rings: Do all applications go to a field office?
I feel like I have become obsessed with reading about filing, looking at time lines and coming up with reasons my application is taking longer compared to others on the app. My one year wedding 💒 anniversary is coming up at the end of the month (we had a Halloween 🎃 wedding). We did not apply until the middle of March.
Question: do all applications go to a FO? Cannot get a solid answer.
Some people are approved so fast. I am terrified of getting NOID or something. I hope if they have questions, I get interviewed. We broke the 90 day rule badly by getting married 2 days after I entered the US but we waited 4 months before filing. This is all explainable if I am given the chance.
I just needed to vent. I keep saying to myself “stop looking stop worrying” and then I am like Gollum and can’t put my shiny phone down. You will not get this if you are not a nerd…. 🧐 😊🩷

Got This Response Back From The White House Today While Contacting USCIS
We understand your concerns and will give you accurate information and guidance. In your letter, you state that your spouse's Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, has been pending over 1,300 days and your Form I-485 has been pending over 777days, with no updates from USCIS. You would like assistance from the White House to help expedite your Form 1-485.
The Special Cases Unit has been in contact with the Queens Field Office making them aware of your concerns. The Queens Field Office has informed us that unfortunately, there is a delay in processing your Form I-485 because they are still working on the required investigation into your background. Once they complete the investigation, they will move forward with your case.
We conduct security checks for all cases involving a petition or application for an immigration service or benefit. We do this to enhance national security and ensure the integrity of the immigration process.
All applicants applying for a U.S. immigration benefit are subject to criminal and national security background checks to ensure they are eligible for that benefit. These background checks require time, resources, and patience, and we understand that the process is slower for some customers than they would like. Because of that, we work closely with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other agencies to make sure we can complete the background checks quickly as possible. However, USCIS will never grant an immigration service or benefit before the required security checks are completed, regardlecc of horn long those abecks take.
