Case Processing
IT’S MY MF TURN!!!!!
Got the letter from the laywer yesterday. Case status changed today. NOT with BDV
This journey of 4 years 10 months and some changes has finally come to a beautiful end!!! Before I rest this case, I would like to share my experience.
Started this process back in Apr 2021.
03/22: Applied both 140 and 485, 765 concurrently
08/22: Approved 765
09/22: Approved 140
01/23: CRP
At the end of 2022, sponsor asked to go to work but I refused. I was having my H1B at the time so I was maximizing my benefit. 2024, they called me again to ask me to work, my 2yrs EAD was expired. lmao. Renewed for the 5 years EAD at the end of 2024 (the renewal took 3 months)
Fast forward to all the retrogression.
02/25: Sponsor called to ask to go to work, I then again refused. They withdrew the I140 (I never knew they did this). From this point on, I pretty much handled everything myself with the help of ChatGPT
04/25: PD became current
05/25: Case changed to fingers taken. Submit the congressional inquiry. Never hear back until the day after the interview
08/25: Got the letter that USCIS acknowledged the withdrawal but doesn’t affect my 485 since it has been pending for more than 180 days. Got this letter out of the blue because I didnt know they legit withdraw the i140.
09/2025: Submitted 485j. 10 days later, case status changed to interview was scheduled.
10/25: Interview day. Everything went so well. A LOT OF PRAYING LEADING TO THIS DAY. Whoever you believe in, keep praying!!!! Interview lasted like 15 mins with max of 10 questions.
After this, radio silent from USCIS. Case status stopped at interview was scheduled since 09/25
12/25: Filed Mandamus with Hacking Immigration Law Firm (not sponsor, just saying so you dont need to ask)
02/26: 1st and only RFE issued (3 recent paytubs, w2, tax reuturn and job offer letter/verification letter) - USCIS tactics to buy more time. Responsed to USCIS 2 weeks later
03/26: Case approved!!! After 1 week of RFE response
FO: WAS - Fairfax, VA
Never worked for the initial sponsor. Started working full time for the 2nd sponsor on 485j from Sept 2025
I wish you all the best of luck going through this journey. For those that are waiting, chin up and lives your live, your turn will come. I know it mentally and physically draining but you are not alone.
Peace out ✌🏼

RFE cancellation
Good evening everyone, is it normal to receive an RFE cancellation notification right after your N-400 interview? I passed the English and Civic test for the Naturalization interview and the officer said my daughter birth certificate that I uploaded was in black and white so for that reason, she going to send my application for review and USCIS will send me a written decision about my application. But I later received a cancellation of RFE about one hour after my interview.
F2A Consular Processing Inquiry/Consulta sobre proceso consular F2A
I would like to ask a question specifically for F2A consular processing cases. From which country are you applying? What is your priority date? Has your case already been approved, or is it still pending?
Quisiera hacer una consulta únicamente para procesos consulares categoría F2A. ¿Desde qué país están realizando el proceso? ¿Cuál es su fecha de prioridad? ¿Su caso ya fue aprobado o aún está pendiente?
Desicion
I completed my interview 4 months ago. My status was showing as “Decision is pending,” but it later went back to “Application is pending,” and there has been no update for a long time. I would like to hear the experiences of others who have gone through the same situation. I also applied for an EAD work permit two weeks ago. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to arrive?

Mini EB‑1A / NIW Profile Audit Available
Hi everyone!
I’ve been analyzing recent EB-1A and NIW case trends on Lawfully and noticed something important: candidates with well-structured recommendation letters and clearly documented judging/membership contributions often have faster approvals and fewer RFEs.
If you’d like a quick personalized case-strength review, I can map your achievements to EB-1A/NIW criteria and highlight your strong areas and potential gaps all before filing.
Just DM me if you want me to run one for your profile. https://wa.me/+16469804143
