Approved finally!
I can't believe it! the cherry on top? no interview.
I can't count the sleepless nights and anxiety that I had to endure to get here. was it worth it? I honestly don't know, but if you're in it and going through hell, keep going, you'll get there, keep up the good work everyone, nobody will understand the amount of determination and will that this takes, you got this, keep on believing, so many times I wanted to leave this behind and just move on, I didn't and neither should you, best of luck to everyone. I am rooting for all of you my friends.

congratulations! was this perm based ?
what was your priority date please ?
Moka SJan 1, 2026
@Vidur singh thank you! yes, it was perm based with the PD being Jul 2023 (ROW)
Vidur singhJan 2, 2026
@Moka S awesome! was your i140 and i485 concurrent?
Moka SJan 2, 2026
@Vidur singh so at first I filed my i140 in Jan 2025 and I did the premium processing so I got it approved within weeks. the lawyer made a mistake since at that time he thought the PD was current (and that's why we did premium processing so that we could immediately file i485 concurrently) but in reality at that time the priority date was about 4 months behind so it wasn't current, as a result we had to wait before filing the i485 which we did later in June 2025
Vidur singhJan 2, 2026
@Moka S okay thanks! did you get an update via uscis status to say biometrics received after completing that ?
Moka SJan 2, 2026
@Vidur singh no, I don't believe i did, I received my appointment letter to do biometrics in the mail but they didn't update the status, but after my biometrics the status went from something like "we've received your case" to "USCIS is actively reviewing yiur case"
Vidur singhJan 2, 2026
@Moka S okay thanks alot. mine changed (after biometrics - recently completed) from received to case is being processed
Vidur singhJan 9, 2026
@Moka S when did you get biometric please?
Moka SJan 10, 2026
@Vidur singh I got my biometrics appointment in the beginning of August (about 2 months after they received my case)
