Case Processing
USCIS did not send me Receipt Notice
Hello everyone
My case is particular, I filed EB1A and I received an RFE very fast, asking me for medical examinations (I filed I-140 plus I-485 concurrent)
The point is I doesn’t have Receipt notice for I-140 and I-485, directly come to me RFE, I have IOE but I don’t know what happened with the receipts notices.
¿Has anyone had a similar experience?
Approved Green Card! ✅
The wait is over. It was a long process full of emotions, but the day has come. I am very happy😭🥹, I will be able to return to my country after 5 years🇲🇽. My son and I started the process with my husband being a permanent resident, my husband had to renew his residency and ended up becoming a US citizen. My son got his green card 4 months ago and today was my turn. A week ago I received an email that they had taken action on the case, I contacted Emma and she told me that the case was going through a security review. Today was unbelievable, I woke up in the middle of the night, checked my online account and saw that step 3 of the interview was marked as completed and the total processing time was reduced to 1 week, there was still no approval letter in the documents section but that really gave me a good hunch. Today Approximately at 7:35 am I received an email notification that they had taken action on the case, it was finally the approval. No interview!

Calling USCIS and talking to a live agent
Guys if you haven’t done so before and/or did not know. This is how you call USCIS and speak to a live agent. I saw this on TikTok and I’ve done it twice with no issues.
1. Call 1-800-375-5283
2. When the machine ask, “ how can I help you?” say, “ I want to know about my case.”
3. When the machine ask for you receipt number say, “I never receive a receipt number”
4. when asked about a service center ANSWER “at a service center”
5. When asked if 30 days have passed answer, “YES”
6. When asked about a tracking number, answer “YES”
Also if you are the petitioner you will only be given info on the I-130 case unless the beneficiary of the I-485 is present and can be verified or else they will have to call for themselves. Hope this help somebody who is dying to speak to an agent instead of ‘ask Emma chat’
Contacted a congressman
Hi everyone, I reached out today to a congressman and got a quick reply from a staff person. I am asking for help with my EAD and 131. I am hopeful. Some wise people on here advised that I try to lower my stress and anxiety with all of this and I am really trying to. Going to focus on being positive and knowing one day it will all work out. I will post about my experience with asking for help. My mum has cancer and my expidite was denied. Trying to stay positive and focus on what can happen and not on what hasn’t.
Wish everyone the best

Birth Certificate RFE
Hi, I just got an RFE about birth certificate for my AOS. here is my situation: I am Nigerian, born before 1992. I got an original birth certificate from my local government (because the national population commission wasn’t constituted at the time of my birth). the RFE is because the birth was registered 4 years after birth. I got an attestation of birth letter from the NPC, is this enough? my early school record has my name and date of birth but not my parents, and it was issued after the birth registration date. Should I include this? not sure if anyone has been in such situation.
Advice
Hello, I have a quick question . My VAWA was approved about two months ago, and my I-485 is still pending. I have already completed my medical exam so it’s ready in case USCIS requests it. I am planning to travel soon. Can I still use my combo card to travel to my home country? #vawa #i485 #travel #combocard
i-485J approved, any indication of green card?
I submitted my i-140 back in the spring (approved back then) and then once current in July, filed for my green card along with Supplemental J. Today, I noticed the i-485J was approved and I also got a "Name was Updated" alert on my i-485 case. Any idea if that means anything for my green card approval timeline? or is it still super random?
