Case Processing

Priority Date 16 September 2021 Rest of the World

I485 application was filed in January 2023 My priority date is 16 September 2021, interview was completed in May 2025, submitted updated medical form at the time of interview, I485J was approved after the interview. Priority date was not current so green card was not issued. Since March 1st 2026 final action date is current but I have not seen any progress. Do you have an idea when Green card will be issued?

any experience?

Hi, I have a question about traveling outside the U.S. and reentry. I am a lawful permanent resident (green card holder). A few years ago, I had an asylum case, but it was terminated by an immigration judge without prejudice. I did not receive asylum. Later, I obtained my green card through a VAWA-based case. Now I need to travel to my home country briefly to renew/replace my damaged passport, and then return to the United States. Is it generally safe for me to travel and return as a green card holder in my situation?

do you guys know how many days it will take for me to get my work permit after I give my biometrics? And if I go there, will there be any issue with the ICE?

Cambio de status en la app

Hola comunidad, acabo de notar el cambio de Received a In Process en mi caso I-130 IR pero solo aquí en la aplicación. No he recibido ningún correo de USCIS oficial. Me enviaron el recibo el 14 de febrero de 2025, saben que significa?

Case status update says unknown in the app. what does that mean?

any vawa approval from July 2022 it's been 45 months no update on my case just says fees were waived so far I received 5 pf n currently on my 2nd combo card.

I 130 stuck since nov 2022 ( pending) #F2A

Hi everyone, I wanted to get some advice about my case. My I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) was filed on November 27, 2022, and the last update I have is: “Case is still being processed” (December 2022). Since then, I haven’t received any updates at all, and it’s now been over 3 years. My questions: - Is this kind of delay normal for I-130 cases? - Should I submit an inquiry or contact USCIS? - At what point can I consider the case outside normal processing time? - Has anyone had a similar timeline and eventually got approved? Any advice or shared experience would really help. Thank you #F2A

EB-2 Perm based ROW approval timeline

Finally approved after more than 600 days of waiting. EB-2 perm based filing: Process initiation: January 2022 Priority date: March 1st 2023 Filing date: July 18th 2024 Biometrics appointment: August 7, 2024 Transfer from NBC to Phoenix FO (non-local, confirmed by Emma chat): September 2025 Transfer from Phoenix FO to Washington FO (local): January 2026 Approval: April 15 2026 Congressional inquiries: 1. January 2025 2. August 2025 3. December 2025 4. April 2025 - Comment on congressional inquiries: Overall cookie cutter responses from USCIS but the last one seemed to have helped push my case forward. General DOs and DON’Ts (my opinion): DO: - use congressional inquiries - find distractions to not think about your case 24/7 - find patience within your faith if you practice (very helpful when your case is stuck and you see peers getting approved within months) DON’T: - check tracking apps too often (I’m guilty but it drives anxiety up) - try to control what you can’t control which is trying to figure out the approval speed of your case - base your happiness and life around the green card - you are smart (all of you) and talented. You can succeed everywhere in the world! I’m still in shock as a big part of my life revolved around my application. I never thought it was gonna take more than 4 years from start to finish. Huge thanks to this community here for keeping people optimistic. For those of you still waiting, stay patient, use what you can (congressional inquiries), and trust in God. Thanks be to God!
