Case Processing
be careful using your AP
I left on August 3rd and returned on August 17th through John F. Kennedy International Airport. My check-in was completely normal, and I was not denied boarding. Everything was fine with my documents.
The problem happened when I arrived in the United States. I have always traveled using my Advance Parole, but this time, when I arrived, the CBP officer asked me a lot of questions. At one point, he even seemed to imply that my parole might be fraudulent and questioned me about several things. Fortunately, I had proof and all of my documents with me.
Because of my experience, I would advise people to be very careful when traveling with Advance Parole. Even if the airline allows you to board, once you arrive in the U.S. and go through CBP, you may be questioned extensively.
If your attorney is on a list of attorneys associated with fraudulent cases, you could potentially face additional scrutiny or even be denied admission. In my case, that did not happen because my attorney was legitimate—they checked his information and everything was fine. They also took my fingerprints.
But they asked me a lot of questions, so people really need to be very careful and make sure they have all their documentation and evidence with them when traveling.
Timeline for I-485 after I-360 approval
Hi everyone!
Could anyone who filed an I-485 separately after I-360 approval share their timeline?
How long did it take from filing to interview schedule ?
Also, I’m wondering: are the Field Office processing times posted on the USCIS website actually worth referencing?
Thank you in advance for sharing!

🙏🏾 A PRAYER FOR EVERYONE WAITING ON IMMIGRATION 🙏🏾
Heavenly Father,
Today, I pray not only for myself, but for every person and every family waiting on an immigration decision.
Lord, You know every application, every petition, every waiver, every interview, every document submitted, and every year, month, and day spent waiting. You have seen the tears, sleepless nights, financial sacrifices, separation from loved ones, uncertainty, and prayers whispered when nobody else was listening.
Father, please go before every pending case. Let files reach the right hands and the right officers. Where there has been confusion, bring clarity. Where there have been mistakes, bring correction. Where cases have been forgotten or delayed, bring movement.
We pray for favor and final approvals. 🙏🏾
If it is Your will, Lord, let there be no unnecessary RFE, no unnecessary interview, no additional evidence, no new obstacle, and no further unnecessary delay. Let everything needed already be present in the file.
Give every immigration officer wisdom, fairness, understanding, and compassion when reviewing these cases.
For those waiting for green cards, visas, waivers, work permits, asylum decisions, citizenship, family petitions, or other immigration benefits, may good news find their homes.
For families separated across countries, make a way for them to be reunited. For those exhausted from waiting, give them strength. For those afraid, give them peace. For those who have almost lost hope, remind them that their story is not finished.
Lord, we have done what we can. We have filled out the forms, gathered the evidence, paid the fees, attended the appointments, answered the requests, and waited.
Now we place what we cannot control into Your hands.
May the next update be good news.
May the next letter bring relief.
May doors that have been closed finally open.
May years of uncertainty turn into testimonies of joy.
May our cases carry favor before them, peace behind them, and good news back to our homes.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen. 🙏🏾❤️🕊️
To everyone waiting: May God remember your case, your family, and your prayers. May your good news come soon. 🙏🏾
AOS F2A PD APRIL 2022
It honestly feels like a joke at this point. Almost 4.5 years of waiting, countless inquiries that led nowhere, and several attempts to get help through congressional offices, only for everything to end with no real progress.
I’m exhausted. After waiting for so long, it’s becoming harder and harder to believe there’s actually a light at the end of this tunnel. I never imagined I would have to fight this hard just to get a decision on my case.
So, I finally contacted an attorney, and we’re planning to file a WOM next month. After almost 4.5 years of waiting patiently, I feel like I’ve reached the point where I have to do something.
Let’s see where this takes us. Hopefully, this long chapter is finally getting closer to an end.
