Case Processing
Confuse
Last month when I called Infopass, they told me I was queue for interview, still no changes, so I got in contact with my senator and the response was ‘pending officer review’…..what does that mean? was there a change? anyone was in that similar situation?

FINALLY APPROVED!
after what feels like an eternity, USCIS finally approved my green card!
for anyone wondering, my priority date was June 19, 2020. I sent biometrics and first medical exam in 2022 and my case was pending until recently when USCIS asked for another medical. I completed and sent it right away and within a week, my case was approved. I didn’t have to do an interview.
to those who are still waiting, don’t give up just yet. everything has its time and I’m rooting for you!

I made a prompt to ask chat gpt to act as an immigration officer. Here’s the response for the question If I have intention to leaving the job.
* This is for the reference only
From an immigration officer’s point of view, if you have worked for the sponsoring employer for 18 months—6 months beyond the minimum 12-month requirement—this would likely be viewed as a good-faith effort to fulfill your contractual and immigration obligations. Here’s why:
Positive Aspects:
1. Exceeding the Minimum Requirement: You have worked 18 months, which is well beyond the 12-month period stipulated in your agreement. This demonstrates a commitment to honoring the terms of the sponsorship.
2. No Immediate Exit After 12 Months: By staying longer, you reduce the likelihood of appearing as though you were only fulfilling the bare minimum to secure your immigration status.
3. Reasonable Timeframe: Immigration officers generally understand that employment circumstances can change. Moving on after 18 months could be seen as a natural career progression, especially if you have valid reasons, such as professional growth or personal circumstances.
Considerations for Leaving:
1. Document Your Reasons: If you leave, ensure that your decision is supported by legitimate reasons, such as a better job opportunity, relocation, or changes in the workplace environment.
2. Evidence of Good Faith: Keep records (e.g., pay stubs, performance reviews, correspondence) to demonstrate that you actively contributed to the employer during your tenure.
3. Green Card Conditions: If your green card is conditional (e.g., through employer sponsorship), ensure you’ve met all obligations and that leaving won’t impact your status. Speak with an immigration attorney to confirm this.
Immigration Officer’s Perspective:
• Assessment of Intent: An officer would likely see your 18 months of service as evidence that you fulfilled your commitment in good faith.
• No Immediate Concerns: Unless there is evidence of fraudulent intent (e.g., securing a green card without intending to work), your extended employment period should mitigate any concerns.
If you’ve fulfilled your agreement and met your immigration obligations, leaving after 18 months would generally not raise red flags. However, for added peace of mind, consult an immigration lawyer to ensure you are fully compliant with any residual requirements.
combo card
combo card approved. I reach out to my congresswoman for help. I saw that USCIS skipped pass June 3 and was processing the middle and end of June and the July cases. I had requested an expedite. They denied the expedite. Congress reached out seven days after they denied the expedite request and had them expedite as I had already passed the 5.5 months that NSC says were their processing time.
Based on a pending I-485 adjustment application
