Case Approved

EB1 Indian I-485 Approved from CRP Status - Priority Date Issue Resolved

Timeline: PD: Nov 2019 (ported from EB2) I-485, EAD, AP filed: Oct 10, 2024 (paper-based filing) Biometrics: Nov 10, 2024 EAD approved: Dec 10, 2024 AP approved: April 10, 2025 Case transferred to non-local field office: May 20, 2025 The CRP Issue: July 10: Case status changed to "We are temporarily pausing work on your application because an immigrant visa number is not immediately available to you." July 15: Contacted Congressman and requested Tier 2 officer callback through Emma live agent July 18: Received USCIS response: "USCIS received application for adjustment of status on October 10, 2024. At the time the application was filed, an immigrant visa number was immediately available. Since the application was filed, however, the final action date listed in the Visa bulletin has retrogressed or become unavailable. At this time, a visa is not available to the applicant which would allow them to adjust status. As a result, the application will be held in abeyance pending visa availability. Following is information that you may find helpful in understanding and explaining the visa allocation process and how it affects applications for adjustment of status." The Breakthrough: July 23: Received Tier 2 officer callback - the officer was incredibly patient and spent 30 minutes investigating. After 20 minutes of research, he discovered that my I-485 had NO priority date in the system, and it had defaulted to my filing date (Oct 10, 2024) instead of my actual priority date (Nov 2019). The officer created a case for NBC to correct my priority date and confirmed I'd receive email notification. July 25: Received email confirmation about the case submitted to NBC July 28: Got update from NBC: "Recently, you notified USCIS that your priority date is current. When your priority date becomes current, your case automatically returns to active processing and will be worked in the order in which it was received. Once further action is taken, a notice will be sent to the address of record." July 29: Spoke with Emma live agent again and created another service request to NBC for priority date correction Resolution: Aug 1: Case updated to "New Card being produced" 🎉 I was considering filing a Mandamus lawsuit after waiting 2 more months, but fortunately the case got approved. For anyone stuck in CRP status, I highly recommend reaching out to USCIS through multiple channels - Congressman, Tier 2 officer callbacks, and Emma live agents. Persistence pays off, and one of these channels will eventually help resolve your issue.

EB2 INDIA APPROVED 485! IOE09260XXXX

Today, is my day! After almost 15 years of waiting (Sep 2010 PD), my 485 is approved. It's been a journey. I will say that https://www.casestatusext.com/ is a reliable source of determining worst case scenario for your specific block number. I used it to track mine, which at the worst case would've gotten to mine by mid-June, but here I am luckily not at the end of the queue :) My biometrics and interview were all waived. My case was at Seattle FO since end of August. I received my EAD and AP in August before the 485 was transferred to the FO. I'm not a resident of WA. #APPROVED #i485 Happy to answer questions, keep the faith!

i751 - 2020 applicant, case finally approved!!

I filed & received USCIS confirmation for i751 on Aug 10, 2020. Case has been pending since, on March 20, 2025, my case is finally approved! Yes, nearly 5 years! I've done countless follow ups via USCIS hotline, 3 ADIT stamp for international travel, reached out to local rep for help. None of the above helped, also I didn't want to apply N400 and change my nationality. As a last resort, I filed for case assistance through CIS Ombudsman. In 30 days, I received a notification that my i751 has been approved and new card mailed to me. Wanted to share my timeline here, for anyone who's on the same journey, know that although this isn't an easy process and sometime (often) can be discouraging, have faith don't lose hope and hang in there!!

H1b approved but spouse on F2

Hi My H1-b has just got approved and my sevis ID has been canceled, when I applied for h1-b I didn't apply for spouse and hence she is still in F2 status. My question is that since the primary is not on f1 has she gone out of status? is there a grace period where I can apply immediately for h4, is she recurring unlawful presence days until then? #h1b #h4 #f1 #f2

Immigration Guy

Sharing a tool that'll make life easy to travel with Refugee Travel Document

Hey everyone, My trip with the refugee travel document was not the smoothest like everyones since it is quite a pain to go through check-in etc. not only did they always think I needed a visa everywhere, they even weren't sure I could return to the US with that document so Rule 1: Go to the airport early! Secondly, I've worked as an immigration paralegal for many years and have created a community where I'll be sharing the link of the tool #airlineemployees use to check if you need a visa. That's a lifesaver when you go to check in and wherever you meet any issues but also when you are in doubt. I shared the tool in this group: https://www.skool.com/uscis-immigration-usa-7208 the tool is also valid for any other document including re-entry permit etc. P.S. I also expecited it so happy to answer any questions on expediting as well #131 #rtd #traveldocument

824 Texas Approved after 11 months

Today I received the long awaited email from the USCIS that "action has been taken on your case", after logging in, it said our case was sent to the Department of State. Our 824 does not show "Approved" yet anywhere and no letter from NVC, but I think that should come soon I hope. For those in Texas, I have noticed Texas been processing more than normal 824s this past month. Texas wait time had been updated to 14 months sadly, however, it appears to have sparked some action, because I have seen a lot of cases approved recently who had been waiting around 12 months

Appointment/Djibouti Experience today 6/18

Eid Mubarakum to all, Happy to inform you all my wife walked out with the white paper and without her passport. She was one of few who did. Most got put in administrative processing sadly. So before you get here you want to absolutely have all original documents that are required. Do not miss 1. Also, bring dozens of photos from the wedding day. There was a big emphasis on that. Bring other photos as well. There is a good place here that will print your photos out for you if you don’t have them with you. Or if you need more. The place is called VRinda Photo Studio and his number is +253 77 72 87 77. You can contact him on WhatsApp any time. While we were here we did extra photos just for the hell of it. There is also a Yemeni guy who is a very very big help. His name is Bashir and his office is nearby, he looks over everything you have and organizes it exactly how the Consular wants to see it. He was a big help with that and also explaining to my wife what to expect and assuring us we were all set to go and not missing anything. I would advise anyone to go to him, he was a little pricy it seemed, but he is good. His number is +253 77 22 75 75. You can also contact him on WhatsApp any time. We got here about 10 days before the appointment. That was more than enough time. Even with Eid. You really only need to come 5-7 days before appointment max. Print out the email with your appointment on it. Also be sure the DS-260 is printed out 3 x or so. DS-5535 also have that ready behind the DS-260. Clinique Le Heron is the place you need to do your medical exam. Schedule that 4 days before appointment or more. Our results came in 2 1/2 days. When you’re there they want a copy of your appointment letter and DS-260. If they give you the results sealed, leave them sealed. Ours weren’t sealed, so that wasn’t relevant. The day before your appointment you should meet with Bashir, and you will know basically or not if you’re on good shape. If he says good, you’re good. Now to our son. We kind of messed up on my sons appointment, but we’re doing it now, we may be here an extra 2 weeks or so bc of that. If you have children.. as soon as your spouse gets their appointment, schedule your children’s appointment. You have to to the MYTravelGov thing CRBA or whatever. After that is done, be sure to email them the receipt that you’ve paid the $100 fee so they can schedule the appointment. These were our only errors, and it may cost us a few more weeks here. Other than that, all went well. Inshallah to you all too. Places to go: Bawadi Mall is the spot here. Many restaurants stores coffee shop and a big place for kids to play. Inside they have a very nice Yemeni restaurant we ate there a lot. The breakfast and lunch was good there, Haneeth was ok. There’s a coffee shop next to this Yemeni restaurant inside of another mall. Idk the name of it. The restaurant is called Kingdom of Sheeba, look that up, go there and around the corner from that restaurant is a nice coffee shop with LEGIT Haneeth. The Yemeni restaurant itself isn’t that good, the coffee shop somehow is fire. No idea why. Anyways, any questions just lmk below. 👇🏽 #Djibouti #DjiYemen #Yemen
