Approval!
got my I-485 approval on 3/15. sharing timeline below in case it helps.
9/11/2024 - I-140 and I-485 received.
9/25/2024 - I-140 approved (premium processing)
10/7/2024 - biometrics appointment.
10/8/2024 - case status changed to being “actively reviewed”
2/21/2025 - case transferred to non local field office (Santa Ana) as per Emma.
3/14/2025 - received an email as “an action has been taken on your case” but there was no update in the account.
3/15/2025 - received an identical email , logged in and saw the status as approved . a courtesy notice was also available for download in the documents tab .
some relevant information:
1. received notice for both myself and my spouse on the same day. still waiting for dependent child.
2. Category - EB1-C. country of origin - India.
3. priority date 12/22/2014 (from previous I-140 submitted through EB2).
4. previously the priority date was set as receipt date ie 9/11/2024 instead of 12/22/2014. I submitted a typographical error service request to correct the priority date.
5. Lawfully didn’t have any status update and still shows as pending after more than 30 hours since the approval noted in the portal.
6. I regularly checked the usciscaseext.com - it gave a very good indicator of how many applications within your block were processed and total percentage of applications approved.
7. I was just lucky that the field office approved in about 3 weeks. Most field offices take 2-8 weeks to make a decision.
8. I did not receive any RFE . submitted our birth certificates (in English fortunately since country of origin is India) and medical exam I-693 along with the 485 application l.
9. in case it’s relevant , we did not have our infant take Covid vaccine. However, USCIS no longer requires COVID vaccine to be taken by applicants.
please feel free to ask me any questions. I am happy to answer based on my experience.

Urgent question about E2 denial
Dear all,
URGENTLY need help!
One of my friend files change of status to E2 but his E2 was denied yesterday. His lawyer told him not to continue his I20 therefore his F1 status was terminated after he filed for his E2.
is he considered unlawful presence in the US now or is there a way for him to get his I20 and F1 back by enrolling in school again.
thank you in advanced
Adjustment of Status
I started my consular residency process for personal reasons. I had to adjust my status. My I-130 was approved before the adjustment process began. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm waiting for a 10-year visa. But how much longer will I have to wait?

RFE request please read I need help
I did my interview a couple months ago 4 weeks after my baby was born the officer asked me for his birth paper but I didn’t received it as yet he gave me a white paper which stated that my case is being held for review when I got home I received an rfe stating that I should send my child birth paper by April 4 if unavailable I should get a letter from the authorized government agency stating that birth certificate is not available only with the letter can they accept early medical record,religious record,Early school record or Two or more affidavit to replace the birth certificate.
so I went to the hospital I got them to write me a letter stating that the birth paper is unavailable, I submitted the letter with my birth record and my child religious record it’s been 60 days I haven’t heard anything just a notification that they received my RFE nothing else is needed but now I’m wondering if I did the right thing if the hospital was where I was suppose to get the letter from since they said they need it from the authorized government agency also I received my child birth paper a few days ago but the address on it is not the address I reside and what USCIS have in their system while filling out the birth form at the hospital I added my residential address what they should have place on the birth paper and I added a mailing address the mailing address is what they have as my residential address so now I am worried I am wondering if the letter I sent with what they requested to replace the birth paper is ok or do I have to send the birth paper and if I do send the birth paper if I will be denied since the addres shown where I live on it is not what USCIS have in their system for my place of residence.
