Case Processing
SIJS
Hi, good morning! How are you all doing?
I’m currently in the process of SIJS and I’m feeling a bit scared.
I have deferred action and I’m just waiting for my I-485 — my priority date is September 23, 2023.
Do you think I’m at risk of deportation? And how long do you estimate it might take for my date to be current?
(I came through the border and my removal case has been terminated.)
What makes the processing time get longer and longer??
Shouldn’t there be a fast track for marriage licenses? especially if the couple doesn’t live in the US yet and got legally married in a different country and various other clear indications that it’s not fraud?

Transfer to Queens field office(local FO)
Hi everyone,
My EB-3 I-485 case was transferred from Manchester Field Office to Queens Field Office on 08/14/2025. Queens is my local office.I had my case transferred to Manchester field office on 06/13/2025.
Has anyone here gone through the same situation recently? How long did it take after transfer for you to get a decision?I heard that queens is a very slow FO.
When can I file mandamus for I-730 for someone inside the USA?
I filed I-730 for my spouse and child August 8, 2024. The status still says fees were waived. Does anyone know if it’s okay to file mandamus cases for them?

EB2 ROW Cross-Chargeability
Hello!
I applied for I-485 AOS through Cross Chargeable through my Spuse’s Country of Birth (South Africa)
USCIS sent Application Receipt on August 5.
On Aug 13, my Spouse received RFE Notification for I-485 Application. Meanwhile, my I-485, I-765 and I-131 are all in Application Received Status.
I have two questions:
1. Will I have to wait for RFE to be Resolved for Me and My Spouse to get a Biometrics Appointment or is it something that happens in parallel while RFE is being processed?
2. Any idea what RFE Notice would be for? We sent our Marriage Certificates and Birth Certificates with the Application.

I-485 New Office Jurisdiction Update, Did You Get RFE or Interview Notice First?
The people who have been on pending I360 and got an update on their I485 saying a new office now has jurisdiction can you tell me how soon you got that update and after what? Was it RFE or your interview? I’m asking because apparently USCIS send me a mail, but sent it to the wrong address, even though I updated mine with them 4 years ago. When I called, they couldn’t tell me details, just said agent 2 would call me to update my address but they never did. I updated my address online again, requested a copy and still nothing, but I’m worried they might have mailed me an interview notice that I missed. So, if anyone can confirm what notice they got after their I-485 status changed like mine, it would help give me some peace of mind. Thanks
I824 approved, waiting for welcome letter.
Approved today! Thank God for answering my prayers.
I can’t wait to have my daughter and my husband in the state. Resident is Canada, waiting for next steps.
