Case Processing
Help!
I have a pending asylum which I withdrew because my NIW was approved (huge & expensive mistake, I know but I was misinformed and only just learned of this app today💔🥲), I only just realized I might be out of status while trying to file for adjustment of status as my priority is current. Has anyone been in this boat? please advice and encourage me. I have an attorney appt tomorrow but my PTSD is kicking me so I need to read something to lift my countenance. I’m thinking reinstating the asylum case but can I still readjust my status?
🙏EB1A GC Approved 🎉🎊- Cross Chargebility Experience 🧿
✅ EB1A Self-Petition Journey — Approved After a Long Wait (Cross-Chargeability Case)
• Category: EB1A (Self-Petition, Self-Filed I-140, EAD , AP and AOS)
• Priority Date: September 2023
• Primary: India
• Spouse: Rest of World (ROW Cross-Chargeability)
Our case was transferred to the Dallas Field Office (FO) after being linked for cross-chargeability, and we attended our AOS interview in April 2024.
Timeline Highlights:
• Primary applicant’s EAD approved before interview, and AP approved after interview (corrected after a Congressman inquiry due to initial PD issue).
• Dependent’s EAD and AP approved before interview since ROW was current.
• The Dallas officer was very kind, and the interview went smoothly — no white paper issued. He mentioned it might take 3–4 months for a decision.
However, by September 2025, after interview nearly six months of waiting for decision , our status changed to “cases paused - Visa not available” for both cases due to the ROW quota being exhausted at the end of the fiscal year.
We did not raise any inquiries (Emma, SR, or Congressman) after that. But once the new quota opened in October 2025, the ROW numbers were refreshed, and our cases automatically moved forward.
On October 17, 2025, we received the long-awaited case approval notices! 🎉
This journey has taught us that patience, faith, and perseverance truly pay off. To everyone still waiting hang in there. Your day will come too. ✨

This case is taking longer than expected. You can get an idea of how long it will take to process your case from the information in the Case Status Processing Times tool at egov.uscis.gov/processing-times. Enter the form, form category, and field office or service center from the drop-down menus. You will be given the processing time. You can enter your receipt date and select the "Get Inquiry Date" box. If the message says "You can send us questions about your case by submitting an online Request for Service," you can submit an electronic request under "Case Outside of Normal Processing Time" at egov.uscis.gov/e-request/Intro.do.

Hi Family,
We’re overjoyed to share that our I-130 petition (filed 12/15/2023, Texas Service Center, for my wife abroad) was approved on 10/17/2025! 🙌🏾
After filing a mandamus with Hacking Law Firm in September, we got an email yesterday saying USCIS took action on our account. The case status still showed “Case is Being Actively Reviewed,” so we couldn’t sleep! At 3 AM, while my wife slept, I checked the Documents tab on my.uscis.gov—and there it was, the approval notice! 🎉
This 22-month journey wasn’t easy, but your love, prayers, and moral support kept us strong. To everyone still waiting, don’t lose hope—check your Documents tab if you get an “action taken” email! We’re grateful for this group and wish we could all meet in person soon to celebrate. May the Creator grant you peace and speedy approvals. Thank you, and we’re praying for you all!
Blessings,
L&D G

Can I check for biometrics appointment without getting the receipt notice?
Hello, I have a USCIS A number from a previous EAD card. So I already got access to the portal and I found out today that I have a biometric appointment scheduled.
However, my wife does not have an A number and we have not received the receipt yet. The receipt was sent on October 6th I believe. is there a way for me to check if my wife has biometrics appointments set up as well?
Or should I just wait for the receipt notice? We just may need to reschedule, that's why I'd like to figure out earlier if she has the appointment set up already.
Another question: how difficult is it to reschedule the appointment?
