Case Processing
After 22 months, this journey is finally over
Waited for this for almost two years. The Baltimore field office is the worst organisation I’ve ever encountered. Good luck to everyone else going through this.

Form I-485
I’ve received a notice to submit evidence for my form I-485. which basically they asked me to place my intials and the date next to a specific answer in the form. i’ve submitted the old format back in May 2024. the format has now changed in August. should I resubmit the whole form with the new format or just put my intials next to the answer and resubmit the old format? PS: the mailing address is to a field office.
Expedite request even worth it?
Hello Community
my husband and I applied for my I130 back in October 2023 and are still waiting.
We live together in Germany with two small children (6 and 4) and he works for Amazon and is working on a transfer to the States.. Now my question, if he ends up getting the job in the states, could we apply for an expedite request bc I really don’t want him to go ahead of us bc that would be so stressful for me here. Taking care of the move and the kids and everything is just too much I feel like. We don’t need the job as far as for the financial situation bc we have enough saving that we should be okay to get the Visa either way. I hope we will hear something in the next 2/3 months, but I don’t know if they would want him to start sooner.

finally approved
I wanted to share my VAWA journey for anyone in a similar situation, as it’s been a challenging but hopeful path. I filed my VAWA petition (I-360) with all the evidence in April 2023 after experiencing abuse in my marriage to a U.S. citizen. In July 2023, I submitted my I-765 and I-485 applications, including a medical exam.
Given my health needs, I filed an expedite request for my I-360 with all the evidence with the Vermont Service Center. I also called USCIS and spoke with a Tier 2 officer. Within 10 days, my expedite request was approved, and my I-360 itself was approved just three days later. Soon after, I received my EAD (C31).
Following that, I submitted an expedite request for my I-485, also to the Vermont Service Center, along with all the necessary evidence. I again called USCIS and requested a callback from a Tier 2 officer, and within 10 days, I received an RFE. I responded to the RFE, and just recently, I got an update that my I-485 status now says “new card is being produced,” even though there wasn’t a specific update on the expedite request.
the only thing I want emphasize is always provide evidence with your forms you file or anything that uscis usually have to send rfe always send it when you file hope this helps.
