Case Processing
Has anyone filed a WOM for a delayed I-485 recently?
Has anyone filed a Writ of Mandamus (WOM) for a delayed I-485 recently?
My attorney recently told me that in two of the WOM cases he filed, government attorneys are preparing to file Motions to Dismiss, arguing that the applicants haven’t waited long enough for their I-485 applications to be considered unreasonably delayed.
I filed my own WOM in September, so I’m pretty worried about this.
Has anyone else experienced something similar recently? Did the government attorney try to dismiss your case? If so, what happened afterward?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks!

Hi
I had my interview back in July 2025.
It has been three weeks since I requested an inquiry from the congressman, but I haven't received a response yet.
I called the congressman's office, and they told me the matter is under review; they also said that if I want to expedite the process, I should appear in person at the office with my partner.
Does anyone have information on how this works?

Question about USCIS Live agent update
Today I was chatting with USCIS live agent and asked for updates for my I-485 case. This is what I have got
Your case is currently still processing at the National Benefits Center. An officer last worked your case on 07/27/2026. Once the NBC is done processing your case USCIS will forward your case to the local field office for further processing.
Does anyone know if it was just a generic update on case or it means my case is moving towards adjudication process.

Question about Medicals
Hi friends ,for those that had vawa approved and filed 1485 concurrenttly along with medicals before 2023 and they expired like mine, did you all had to Resubmit new medicals or someone got approved without? Little frustrated about the delay that comes with that given that I have no changes on my health profile.
Thanks in advance.
New card is being produced (status updated)
Hello all,

I posted my timeline in an other thread just in case. now waiting game for the card. no matter what we do, I think waiting is the same. atleast this ones feels a little better.

married last name on medical records for proof submitting for I-751
Hi, I am submitting my I-751. I was going to include Walmart print out for my asthma meds that show my address and paperwork from a clinic where I had an exray for my foot (so nothing personal). My doctor has my last name as my husbands and so does Walmart and health insurance. Everything else that is not medical has my legal last name. Not sure if USCIS would have an issue with this? Trying to submit everything that I can.
