Case Processing

WOM, San Francisco Bay Area

I am planning to file WOM. I was planning to do Pro Se and almost have the WOM ready but I had a last minute thought of getting some professional help. Do any of you know a good lawyer who specializes in WOM in the San Francisco Bay Area? I want to find someone with good experience and record with WOM. I am still debating between- should I just get a consultation to have the WOM I prepared reviewed and do the rest of the work myself or hire a lawyer for the entire process. Also anyone from the SF Bay Area feel free to reach out to stay connected for our immigration journey as sharing any information might be helpful. asylum approved through court: Jan 3 2024 i485 submitted- receipt date: Jan 8 2025 no RFEs country: Nepal

RFE resubmitted

I resubmitted my RFE in September. My priority date is November 30th, 2022. Will this delay my process further?

Does anyone have a 2024 priority date who applied for a green card?

SET 2021🇧🇷

Has anyone had their I-485 change back to “Ready to Be Scheduled for an Interview” after already completing the interview? I interviewed July 14, sent my RFE Aug 17, and today, Oct 7, saw this update.

Filing Writ of Mandamus Pro Se After Long USCIS Delay — Need Guidanc

I’ve already completed the pre-mandamus process with my attorney. A demand letter was sent to USCIS giving them 60 days to respond, but unfortunately, I still haven’t received any meaningful decision. The only recent movement on my I-130 was a status update saying, “USCIS is currently processing your case.” On my I-485, I received a silent update related to the FBI/background check, but nothing further. I already completed my marriage-based green card interview on April 7, 2025, and I have been waiting ever since without a final decision. At this point, the continued delay has become extremely frustrating. Because I cannot afford to hire another attorney to file a federal lawsuit, I’ve decided to prepare and file a Writ of Mandamus on my own. I understand that filing pro se is a serious step, but I feel that I have exhausted the other options available to me. Unless I simply continue waiting indefinitely for USCIS, I don’t know what else I can reasonably do. This feels like my last option to hopefully get USCIS to take action and make a decision on my pending case. If anyone has successfully filed a Writ of Mandamus pro se for a delayed I-130/I-485 after completing their interview, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions, guidance, or personal experience you can share.

God please help my EAD card be approved soon! I lost my job in May due to company wide layoff. 60 days later I lost my work visa. Now I’m about to lose a job offer because EAD card has not arrived. I am going crazy!!!! This is putting a strain on my mental health and relationship with my spouse. I’m terrified of not having a job to save for childcare expenses. Please please please help my EAD get approved soon. I really want to start working and saving again! Also praying for others in similar situations!

Emma Live Agent Legit?

I have asked emma live agents last two week (two times) about my case’s physical location, they had said my case is in National Benefit Center. can this be true? Before (in July 2026) I was told my case was in local field office. Now they are saying it’s in NBC. have you seen such cases? Is it trustworthy?! Thanks

Need the Pro’s to respond

How many estimate outstanding cases are we currently seeing for up to the end of 2021? Does it include or exclude derivatives and the 75 banned countries? Was just wondering since we have not seen alot of approvals since the new FY took effect.
