Case approved! really really happy!
I want to share my victory with you all. It took three years from the start of the process to final activation. I’m so happy! 😁 The I-140 was filed in Feb 2024 and approved in July 2024. The Adjustment of Status for my Priority Date was stalled until Oct 2025; the rest of the timeline is below. I am grateful to God, and I hope everyone soon gets their long-awaited Green Card. P.S.: Biometrics were done on Jan 26; I haven't received the EAD.

@Gentleman It was a calm and smooth conversation. The officer was a woman—very polite and helpful. She asked questions about my profession and field of work, as well as questions related to the I-485. I didn't bring my lawyer; it was just the family—myself, my husband, and my 12-year-old daughter.
