Case Processing
I-485
Hi everyone. I’m looking for advice or similar experiences because my I-485 has been pending since July 2022. My I-130 was approved in 2023, and my case has been stuck on “actively reviewed” for a very long time.
My spouse became a U.S. citizen, so my category should now be immediate relative, but I still haven’t received a final decision. I also responded to a NOID/RFE and have been waiting with no real update. It’s honestly frustrating because it feels like the case is just sitting there while life is on hold, because apparently patience is now an immigration requirement too.
Has anyone had an I-485 pending this long after I-130 approval and after responding to USCIS? Did a congressional inquiry, USCIS service request, or CIS Ombudsman request help move the case forward?
Any advice would be appreciated.

refugee travel document approved from 19 countries
I am posting my timeline just to share the good news to everyone from the 19 countries USCIS still processing this kind of cases I got approved yesterday thanks to my Lawyer. They worked really hard to get it approved with a short time. It was a little bit pricey, but it worth every penny with all this piece of mind. Now I can travel freely.
let me know if you have a questions of the comment.

EB2-NIW March 2024 filers — anyone with a decision yet? (Nebraska/IOE)
EB2-NIW case, Nebraska Service Center (IOE), receipt date March 21, 2024, day 831 with no decision yet. I’m seeing that many cases from Jan-March 2024 are still waiting while later months (May, June) seem to be moving faster. Has anyone in this filing range already received a decision? If so, which service center and how many days did it take? Trying to understand if this is a pattern by center, by nationality, or just random processing. Thanks in advance.
