Case Processing
Green card received! Full i-485 mandamus timeline
Hi community. I have recently made a detailed post about my writ of mandamus experience. Today, I got my green card in hand. 🥳
February-2023: asylum approved
June 3, 2024: USCIS received my i-485
April 9, 2025: status changed to “interview is ready to be scheduled”
May-September-2025: called USCIS, contacted Congresswoman, Ombudsman and submitted expedite request with no success
Oct 21, 2025: filed my mandamus lawsuit with a court and served the defendants
Nov 6, 2025: new card is being produced
Nov 7, 2025: case approved
Nov 14, 2015: card was mailed to me
Nov 19, 2025: card received; notice of voluntary dismissal submitted to the court
So it took less than a month from filing mandamus to green card in hand.
Tomorrow, it’s my 6 year anniversary in the United States. The best gift ever. 🎁
