Case Processing
EB-2 NIW Approved! (with RFE)
It was a long and stressful wait, but it moved surprisingly fast once USCIS registered my RFE reply.
If you’re still waiting (with or without RFE), don’t lose hope. Your approval is coming too. Keep going! 💪

I-751 online filing
Hello everyone, before I start sharing my story I would like to thank everyone here in advance, these groups and public support are very helpful and the advice you get here from people are very appreciated and helpful and sometimes believe it or not are more helpful than lawyers.
I moved here on 12/2016 and first few months I applied for asylum, my case was based on me being a Christian, I was born in Nazareth and I have gone through wars and racism against Christian people in the middle east and wanted a better life for myself because it wasn't safe or secure raising a family there.
My asylum case was pending until 2023, I adjusted my status because I met the love of my life and mother of my daughter, we filed our I-130 and got approved on 06/24/2024 and now I am sharing this because I just filed my I-751 online.
I submitted: bank statements, credit card authorized user letter, marriage certificate and my daughter birth certificate, taxes return transcripts, insurance together, lots of pictures, notarized affidavits, 401K beneficiary for both of us, water and gas and phone bills and IDs showing the same address.
The reason I am posting this is because of my past experience with USCIS, I got a NOID for my initial green card (I-130) because my lawyer didn't submit everything we sent him for I-130 and I had to take 2 months off in 2021 because It took them forever to renew my EAD during COVID when I was having a pending asylum case that has been officially withdrawn recently. So I have a weird and stressful flashback memories dealing with forms and cases like that.
Any suggestions or ideas or even past experience you can share will be much appreciated, good luck to everyone here!!
Approved without interview
I was really hoping to get an interview scheduled after many months of waiting, but both I-130 and I-485 were approved without interview, 3 days apart.

I-485 was approved after Mandamus filed and went through interview.
I tried congressional inquiry and USCIS e-request before, but both of them failed. Seems like only Mandamus working for them to render a decision.

Change of Addrss
I mailed out Ar-11 and a letter in Addition to Vermont for change my address somewhere in January. However, my rescent prima facie went to the old address. My brother luckily picked it up whilst moving out of the address. Has anybody experienced same and is there a way to correct this.
Also, I just did mail forwarding from the post office. The lady mentioned that not all mails letters qualify for mail forwarding and recommended I fix that from the sender. Thanks.

I still don’t have any updates such as medical RFE or second interview stuff like that. I am just concerned that I won’t get approved by December 2026.
We know it’s frustrating even if PD is current.
Hopefully before February 2027 to get my Greencard.
my case is still case remains pending. My 485 interview was done on Feb 28, 2024.
Also, I tried to do e-service request on USCIS and it doesn’t let me submit my inquiry. it says “Your application or petition is currently within the posted processing times. An inquiry may not be created at this time. Further information about recent processing times can be viewed on the uscis.gov webpage.”
