i-485J concern
Filed i-485 and i-485j together on jan 6, 2025. Received RFE and responded on March 24,2026. However, updated on April 10 from Usics that RFE received.
It’s been 10 days uscis update on rfe for i-485 and just received confirmation mail for i-485j letter. Is this normal. What can we expect next?
rfe response
After receiving seven *prima facie* determinations over the course of four years, I received my first RFE notice three months ago. They requested additional evidence regarding the harassment I had experienced. It was abundantly clear that they had not reviewed the documents I had previously submitted; consequently, my attorney resubmitted the exact same evidence without making any changes. How long do you think it will take for them to respond?
OPT & I-485
I'm wondering when I can safely apply for NIW/I-485 after filing OPT. I'm on F-1 graduating this May, just filed PP for pending I-140, haven't applied for the OPT. I'm applying for the OPT this week, but I was just wondering when to file I-485? after I get physical EAD card for OPT? (I need I-485 EAD asap)
Derivative beneficiary
Hi everyone
I have a quick question. My priority date has just become current, and I recently got married. My spouse is currently abroad. Is it possible to add her as a derivative beneficiary to my pending green card application, or do I need to wait until my green card is approved and then start her process separately?
Thank you
TRAVEL WITH EXPIRED GC + EXTENSION LETTER
Hiiiii, I have a family emergency that requires me to travel. Anyone recently travel internationally with expired GC and #I-751 extension letter? Also, for the extension letter, did you bring the REAL one that USCIS mailed to you (with watermark) or just printed one from online portal? Please share your experience if you're entering SEATTLE!! :)
I'll be applying for #N-400 as soon as I get back (under 3 years rule)
Thank you so much for your time!!

Online status change after oath?
for those who already had oath, did your uscis online status change to "Naturalization Certificate was Issued "?
asking for someone who is worried as the online status remains " Oath ceremony notice was mailed" since many days after oath...
I heard in various forums that most people see that online change within hrs or max 1 day so curious to know experiences here
thanks in advance!
Approved!
I can’t believe I’m making this post! I never thought this day would come.
PD- July 13, 2021 (became current in October 2025)
I was scheduled for an interview and my case status never updated. It remained at “Case Remains Pending”.
Me and my husband went to the interview and we were interviewed separately.
First question from officer was: have you been working for your sponsor?
I told him I didn’t work for my initial sponsor, but that I had filed the supplemental J. Apparently he didn’t have my I-485 J with him, and he insisted that I had to be working for my initial sponsor. I explained to him that I was allowed to change employers, and that I had been working for my current and new sponsor for almost 3 years. He then spent a while on the computer looking for my file. He found it and filed it with my other documents.
He then started asking a few yes/no questions from the I-485. Also asked how many hours I work and salary.
At the end he said that he would approve the new supplemental J. That was the only cue I had the case was approved.
My husband’s interview took 30 min and the officer was chatting with him the whole time. He said to my husband he was going to review and that we should expect our cards in the next 2weeks.
He didn’t ask for any document!
When I got home the case status had been updated to “new card is being produced”.
Both my husband and I were approved.
One tip: be well prepared for the interview and be confident!
Good luck to everyone! Your time will come!

I-751 Divorce Waiver – Uploaded Divorce Decree (Unsolicited Evidence) – Does this mean approval soon?
Hey everyone, I wanted to get some insight from people who have gone through a similar situation. I filed my I-751 in September 2025 (joint filing), and then my divorce was finalized in December 2025. After that, I mailed my divorce decree to USCIS. Recently (April 15, 2026), USCIS updated my online account and added a document under “Applicant-Correspondence” and also shows my divorce decree under unsolicited evidence. Does this mean my case is now being case is now being actively reviewed or moving toward approval? Has anyone had a similar timeline, and how long did it take after submitting the divorce decree to get a decision?
Any insights would really help. Thanks in advance!
