Case Processing
Special immigrants juvenile Sijs
Please I need help. I’m confused. Should I apply for my visa now with the new Retrogression visa bulletin ❓
My priority Date is August 5th 2024 for Sijs.
The Final action date is : December 15th 2022 .
Date of Filing : January 01 2025.
That’s the note on my case tracker: Start a visa application now! But wait for approval.
I-485 Based on Granted Asylum – Filed 11/01/2024, Still Waiting After 23 Months – NBC Worked My Case on 09/18/2026
Hi everyone,
I’m wondering if anyone has a similar timeline and can share their experience.
My case is I-485 based on granted asylum:
* Asylum granted by Immigration Judge: August 2024
* I-485 filed: November 1, 2024
* Biometrics: December 4, 2024
* RFE: None
* Interview: None so far
* No major updates since biometrics
* Service Center: National Benefits Center (NBC)
I recently contacted a USCIS live agent, and they told me:
“An officer last worked your case on 09/18/2026.”
They also said that once NBC finishes processing the case, USCIS will forward it to the local field office for further processing.
My case has now been pending for almost 2 years.
Is anyone here with a similar timeline, especially people who filed around October–December 2024?
* When did you get your approval?
* Did your case transfer from NBC to a field office?
* Did you have an interview or RFE?
* Did you file a Writ of Mandamus, or did USCIS approve it without WOM?
* If your case was recently approved, how many days/months did you wait?
I would really appreciate it if anyone with a similar asylum-based I-485 timeline could share their experience. It would be very helpful to know whether cases around my filing date are finally moving.
Thank you! 🙏

B2 extension
My B-2 extension of stay (Form I-539) is still pending. I filed the I-539 before my I-94 expired on May 16, 2026.
What happens if I leave the United States before USCIS makes a decision? Will leaving while my application is pending affect my B-2 visa or my ability to enter the U.S. in the future? Could I be banned from entering the U.S.?
Also, what happens if USCIS does not make a decision until November 16, 2026, which is about six months after my I-94 expired? If USCIS approves the extension after November 16, would the six-month extension be counted from May 17, 2026, or from the date USCIS approves it?
