I filed I-485 on Feb 23, 2024.
I-140 approved on May 15, 2025.
Responded to medical RFE on June 13, 2025.
Then got another RFE to prove lawful status, and I submitted the evidence.
Still confused why this is happening. Anyone faced something similar? Any advice?

Immigrant visa process in Guyana 🇬🇾
I would just like to share what the process was like for at the U.S. embassy in Guyana. Hopefully, this information gives those you who are also in Guyana more clarity.
August 4th, 2025: pre-screening appointment.
August 18th, 2025: Interview.
August 18th, 2025: CEAC status changed to administrative processing.
August 19th, 2025: CEAC status says "issued"
August 21st, 2025: Received the email saying visa is ready to be picked up.
As you can see, Guyana processes immigrant visas pretty quickly once you have the interview. Just make sure all paperwork and evidence are properly prepared and you should have no issues.
Good luck everyone!
Grateful for all these blessings!!!! wishing everyone to get approved soon!
may God bless you all! good luck 🙏🙌💪 keep hoping, keep fighting!

Any Vawa approval for May 2022? It's been 1,200 days of waiting. I'm also considering filing a petition through my daughter, who is an American citizen, and the I-130 is faster in processing time. My lawyer said that waiting for Vawa approval take another year for the I-485 approval... such a long wait :(

frustrated again….
I posted this message at the end of July, and guess what. the same thing JUST happened to me for the second time, exactly the same way, last night. yesterday my progress said “two weeks” and then last night it jumped back to “two months.”. I just wish I knew what was actually going on.
I'm at a point of sheer frustration, exhaustion, and confusion. When I first filed the I-130 in March 2024 for my husband, my timeline was four weeks. then it changed to six months. September came and went. then it changed to "taking longer than normal but still within processing time" until last month. then it was finally updated to 4 weeks. every week since then it dropped to 3 weeks, 2 weeks. I'm entering my final week and checked this morning, and it was updated to two months. I'm practically in tears from the lack of understanding. people are being approved who applied way after me. I'm tired of having "hope" and reading about "trusting God." these processes are broken and not logical and no amount of hope or faith can justify or appease this lack of logic. #frustrated
