long post!!
I’m posting this to encourage anyone out there who is still dealing with their immigration paperwork: PLEASE DON’T GIVE UP.I know it’s easy to tell someone not to give up when you’re not in their position, but I truly understand how difficult this journey can be because I’ve been going through mine since 2019. I went through VAWA, was initially denied, appealed the decision, and eventually got approved. Then came the long I-485 wait. There were so many moments when I felt exhausted, discouraged, and wondered when my turn would finally come. I eventually reached out to my congressman for help. They submitted an inquiry on my behalf on July 10, 2026, and on July 15, 2026, my case finally started moving. I continued waiting and praying until October 7, 2026. I did attend my I-485 interview. The interview was very short and mainly consisted of basic security/background questions. After the interview, my case was continued for additional review, so the waiting continued. Then, on October 6, I received a notification saying my interview was canceled and that a notice had been ordered. I immediately started crying and praying because I thought something else had gone wrong. But God had already worked it out. October 7, 2026 MY I-485 WAS APPROVED! After everything I’ve been through, I can finally say that there really is light at the end of the tunnel. I haven’t seen my parents in 10 years, so this approval means so much more to me than just receiving a green card. It represents freedom, hope, family, and finally being able to move forward. My case was handled through the Atlanta Field Office. To anyone still waiting, please keep your faith. I know this journey is NOT easy. There will be days when you feel tired, frustrated, and ready to give up. But please keep pushing, keep praying, and advocate for yourself. If your case qualifies, consider reaching out to your Congressional representative for assistance. I’m praying for everyone still walking this journey. Don’t give up. Keep pushing. Keep praying. Your story can change when you least expect it. There really is light at the end of the tunnel.

July 25 2023 - i485 Approvsl <mandamus pro se>
My case was approved last week after multiple contacts with uscis, senator and congressman inquiry. I picked myself up and went to file Mandamus “pro se” because I couldn’t afford to give a lawyer 4000-8000. I used Gemini and Claude and made sure I was very detailed. Not I’d advice you look at your. are well before go ahead to file yourself. But anyways my case was approved last Friday and someone from the DOJ also called me to congratulate me and apologize for the unnecessary delay. Goodluck to you guys. Be strong and Keep your heads up. BA out!!!! See yall at the citizenship race!!!
