Case Processing
Random Issuance of Green Card
Hello All,
USCIS is approving green card application completely randomly. someone I know got approved by court judge in July 2024, applied for GC in June 2025 and got their green card in August 2025. they literally got their GC in 2 months after applying. didn’t even wait a year after case granted date to apply. (San Francisco court, country of origin somewhere in South Asia).
this actually is a good news if you take it that way. as there’s hope tha t those of us waiting can get thei GC any day now.
I got approved by San Francisco court judge in Jan 2024. applied for GC in Jan 2025 and I’m still waiting.
good luck to everyone.
A request- please post any news of GC approval and their timeline you get from anyone(not just your case)
Expedite Request
hello! I’ve been contacting my lawyer to expedite my mom’s VAWA case, which I’m a dependent. so far, they said that they don’t recommend expediting because it could have a bad impact on our case. is that really true? I’ve done some research and also saw some posts on here about how it doesn’t impact if the request is denied. however, it’s not really guaranteed that our case will be approved, which makes sense. our lawyer will be getting back to me later today or on Monday after analyzing our case. please share your thoughts. thank you!!
Premium processing for I-140
My priority date is October 2024. During the application time I had 16 citations on Google Scholar with 1 first author and 1 co first authored publications. Now I have 50 citations with 2 more first authored publications. I am wondering how much chance I have for approval if I do the premium processing now. Can anyone share their recent experience with PP with similar profiles? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
