USCIS Finally Took Action on My Case - Waiting for the Notice
USCIS Finally Took Action on My I-485 - 5 years later
My PD: 05/2021
My USCIS case status was updated on September 29, 2026:
“On September 29, 2026, we issued a notice for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Receipt. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your notice by October 29, 2026, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice.”
Now I’m waiting for the notice to arrive in the mail.
Has anyone else received a similar update recently? If so:
How long did it take for you to receive the notice?
What type of notice did USCIS send?
For those who received this update on an I-485, what happened next?
Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through the same thing.

I-485 case moved to different jurisdiction
hello everyone wondering if any of you gotten that update and what it mean when you received the notice regarding that update.
my VAWA (02/2022) case was approved 10/2025 filled 12/2025 than biometrics is 02/2026. than this week I got the case move to different jurisdiction update, and curious about what it means and
Lot/Group in Lawfully Question
Does anyone know whether this app separates AOS+VAWA applicants from AOS through family petitions (I-130) groups/categories, or does it put both together in the same lot/group?
Or are the I-765 groups from AOS+VAWA and AOS+family petitions grouped in separate lots/group or together?
This group has a large number of applicants. Approvals started early, then stopped for more than 2 months, and nothing has moved since.
I’m a VAWA applicant, and my AOS is still pending, but my AOS lot/group is very small; we are only 8 people, and 3 have already been approved recently. It is unusual. I also have an I-130 submitted by my abuser. I was wondering whether USCIS still recognizes my previous case, which is why my AOS group is so small compared with other groups, because that petition (priority date) is very old. Only a few people have that priority date.
Does anyone have any information to answer my question?
Thanks in advance!
When should I expect to be approved?
I responded to the RFE 28 days ago, but there are still no updates these days. The RFE was for medical and proof of employment, and I also received the notice a few days ago, as did the derivative. The PD was February 2022 really don’t know when they will approve our cases.

OPT filed on May 26, 2026
Hi Guys,
I’m writing to ask for your guidance regarding my pending OPT application.
I filed my Form I-765 on May 26, 2026, and it has now been pending for approximately 129 days. My requested OPT start date was September 1, 2026. Since I submitted my application, USCIS’s estimated processing time has changed three times, from approximately 3.5 months initially, to 4 months, and now to 5 months.
my first current estimated decision inquiry date for my case was October 15 and it’s now changed to November 29.
my questions are,
1) Should I reach out to USCiS on Oct 15 if EAD not approved by that date? as my inquiry date is changed to November 29.
2) Should I just file the premium processing within a week before it’s too late?
Thank you!
Status Changed to Adjudication!
My I-589 status from Interview pending has changed to Next step is Adjudication. What does this mean? Any idea? Does it mean Interview is waived off because I still see Interview pending on the status too.
Can anyone please advise me as I am so worried.
My EAD renewal is still pending since Nov 2024 & hasn’t arrived.
please someone share their expertise with the changed status of Adjudication. Thank you
