I 485 approval time line after interview
Hello Families,
I have done my vawa based i485 interview yesterday and my status still shows correspondence was received and USCIS reviewing it.... Can you please share your experience after the interview how many days took for approval? did your status changed or not?
4 months from submission to approval
Had my interview yesterday morning in San Francisco and approved on spot.
Started with civic questions and read out “Who was Abraham Lincoln” as the ready test. Asked very basic questions and double checked my info.
They assigned the oath ceremony on the same day, one hour later.
Everything was super smooth and within 5 hours I was done with both the interview and the oath.
This morning I went for an walk in appointment for an expedited passport. Finally done with the immigration process and thanks so much for this community.

I got response from my congressperson, my case is still under background check, uscis recommended me :
If advice is needed, your constituent may contact the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) District Office near his or her home for a list of community-based, non-profit organizations that may be able to assist your constituent in applying for an immigration benefit. Please see our USCIS field offices home page for more information on contacting USCIS offices. In addition, your constituent may visit our Webpage at www.uscis.gov that provides information on free legal advice.
what kind of benefits????
interview!
Guys, my interview was last Friday, and until then, the app was showing only the message ‘interview was scheduled.’ Today, the status was updated to: ‘As of March 19, 2025, we are actively reviewing your Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative.’ Is this a good sign? Did you mean that this is normal to happen? I really don’t know.
What does average time of approval mean?
Hi! I checked my case today because I have been waiting for 89 days now to get a response to the RFE I sent in, and the app says something about a 104 day wait for approval, but doesn’t really explain it. Is this an average for RFEs, and how longg did you have to wait for a decision? thanks!

If I’ve had DACA since I was 19 up until now, I’m 32. Also, granfathered (maybe) with 245I with my mom when she applied for it at her work. Does my Vawa process move quicker due to me having DACA??
I received a RFE for good moral character in Feb 07, 2025, filed in Jan 16, 2025, it was received in March 17. How long for response? Does having DACA speed the process??
