What is going on?!
PD: 23 August 2023
I sent them what they asked for the RFE, they never acknowledged it, they will only accept queries after 6 January and the deadline is 14 January.
I expedited my I-765 on 10 December and they didn't act on it.
In about a month from now I will lose my job because of this mess.

60 days post interview- nothing
I was interviewed early nov in NJ.interview mostly went fine but the officer said she needs to review trip dates (I had 12 in 5 years) - although there has been no trip close to 180 days and total physical presence also above 1500 days (913 required)
its been 2 moths. JSN Shows no touch since interview date. status is still "interview was sceduled"
I did a congressional inquiry and they gave a boiler plate response that uscis has upto 120 days to make a decision or issue a notice. bizzare situation. anyone else in a similar boat?
F2A (Child of LPR) - Why are Nov/Dec cases moving faster?
I’m an F2A applicant (filed by LPR mom) and my case is at the California Service Center.
I keep seeing approvals dropping for people who filed way after me (November/December filers), while my case is still sitting in "Active Review."
My Priority Date is October 16, 2022.
Is anyone else with a late 2022 timeline still waiting? It feels like California is skipping the older batches to work on the new ones. Just want to know if I'm the only one left from my month.

I tried to change it online using the receipt number i got when i paid the green card fee but when i called uscis today they said there is no address on file and the will hold my card until there is an address on file. any idea what to do now ?
prima facie 6
Hi everyone, I filed my VAWA I-360 in June 2022 and have already received 6 Prima Facie determinations. My case is still pending. Has anyone had a similar situation and eventually received approval? How long after the last Prima Facie did you get a decision? Thank you so much for sharing.
