receipt notices
hello, we had to refile our case after waiting almost 12 months since filing our Motion to Reopen and Reconsider which the field office just ignored. since Trump became president it's become too dangerous so we had to refile. I got notification they had received our case and notice as sent on Monday. how long does it take to get the notices from Phoenix lock box . they already processed the payment.
Filed mandamus myself after 2+ yrs waiting on I-130 (F2A). Lawyers too pricey, so I did it solo for $445. Used AI, filed pro se. Now in court—hoping for approval soon, Inshallah! 🤲

#WritOfMandamus
#greencard
Hey everyone, I just wanted to share my experience in case it helps someone else who’s been waiting too long.
I’m a green card holder (F2A category), and my I-130 petition for my spouse has been pending since August 31, 2023 — more than two years with no decision. After waiting and trying all normal options, I decided to file a Writ of Mandamus myself.
I did talk to some lawyers, and one even told me over the phone that because my visa bulletin is current, there’s a high chance USCIS will approve it — they usually don’t want to fight in court. The problem? The minimum legal fees I found were $4,400, and some went up to $10,000. I couldn’t afford that, so I took a chance. I did some Googling, used AI to guide me, and managed to prepare and file everything myself.
The whole process cost me only $405 for the filing fee plus about $40 for certified mail. No lawyer involved.
Now it’s in the court system, and I’m just waiting to see what happens. I’ll update you guys with everything that happens after, Inshallah, it gets approved soon! 🤲

After Vawa Approval....i-485 Green card; 25 days after receiving my Medicals
Hey fam,
so it has been 25 days since they have received my Medicals. They have gone silent. From your experience is it interview notice showing up in the mail? am thinking if they needed anything else they would have sent another RFE by now? Pls share an experience you have. Thank you!
