Case Processing
Has anyone had an expedited VAWA-based I-485 case? How long after your interview did you receive a decision?
Has anyone had an expedited VAWA-based I-485 case? How long after your interview did you receive a decision?
My expedite request was approved, and I had my I-485 interview on July 2026. It has now been about two months, but I have not received a decision, RFE, or NOID. My congressional representative also contacted USCIS on August 28.
If you had a similar expedited case, how long did it take to receive a decision after the interview?
domestic travel question
Hi everyone! I wanted to ask if anyone here has traveled domestically within the U.S. by plane with a valid I-20 but an expired F-1 visa.
My I-140 has already been approved, but I have not filed my I-485 yet because my priority date is not current.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and traveled domestically by plane? Did you have any issues at the airport?
I485 Approval Vawa based?
hello has anyone recently seen or experienced the i485 approval based on an approved Vawa.
I sent my Vawa April 2022 Vawa was approved April 2025
June 2025 i485 was received after that I took my biometrics 5 months ago and case was transferred from Nebraska to Vermont.

I-130 with Subsequent I-129F (K-3) Petition
I’m curious to hear from anyone else currently pursuing,
(or who recently pursued) a K-3 alongside a pending I-130 for a spouse.
I filed an I-130 for my wife, a Mexican citizen currently residing in Mexico, on June 30, 2026. While the I-130 remained pending, I subsequently filed Form I-129F for K-3 classification.
My K-3 timeline so far:
08/26/2026 — USCIS received the I-129F
08/31/2026 — I-129F accepted and receipt number issued
09/04/2026 — Physical I-797C receipt notice received by mail
The I-129F was assigned to the SCOPS Texas Facility and is currently pending.
I understand that K-3 visas are relatively uncommon today and that if the I-130 reaches NVC first, the K-3 may ultimately become unnecessary. I nevertheless decided to pursue both available processes and see which petition progresses first.
For anyone with recent K-3 experience: How long did your I-129F remain at “Case Was Received” before the next update? Did the I-129F or I-130 move first? If your I-129F was approved, did it actually reach NVC before the I-130?
I’ll update this post as both cases progress. Hopefully my timeline can also provide another recent data point for other K-3 filers.

No Update after GC interview
I had my green card interview on 6th August . it’s been a month with no update . our interview went really well . he asked to upload the document/affidavict which proves I live with my wife which I did the very next day . When I use the USCIS apis , it says action required . is anyone in the same boat . this wait is so frustrating 😢
