Case Approved
Greened!
Dear friends,
it was a long journey, but today my wife and I had the green cards in our hands! I’m sharing our timeline, and I will soon uninstall all USCIS related apps… I guess I will spend the time I used to check for my status in a more productive way every day (often dozens of times a day). Good luck everybody, and keep strong for your goal!

Combo card in hand 10/1 for wife and myself. For my 3 year old daughter we applied for AP only (at the same time) and it still shows as received and haven't received her card. Any guess why or similar experiences? What to do?

So it looks like its finally being approved. I reached out Senator, so I figure it was that. Any questions are welcome. This is marriage-based and my interview hasn't been scheduled yet.

God’s Grace can never be disgraced
After almost a year, and few weeks to interview God showed up on my I-765. Evidently this is a month of celebration. May all our secret prayers be answered in the open 🙏🏽

There is hope!
I am a quiet reader in this community and I normally don’t comment or post at all, but I felt inclined to share my journey. I know that the Vermont Center has a bad reputation for unreasonable wait times but I just wanted to post my journey to give hope to others in waiting. I read a lot of stories about crazy processing times for this center that just made me cry every single day. Please don’t give up and don’t lose hope. This the first step of a much longer one, so let’s keep our heads up ❤️❤️❤️

Was on STEM OPT (expires next year) while the whole process went on. So luckily I didn’t have to use my EAD/AP. I even went ahead and applied for the EAD/AP renewal on 08/25/21 (receipt date 08/27/21) cause I was not going to do a guessing game with USCIS.
Thank you to everyone that responded to my questions here. I wish everyone waiting the best and good luck!!
