Combo approved! My misery is over! Don't give up!
I can't describe how happy I am because I'm now 14 months out of employment. Finally I can work again ðŸ˜. I expedited 4 times Emma, 1 time tier 1, 3 times through congressional inquiries, 1 time ombudsman, and finally 1 time through tier 2. I got it today and I'm crying. Thank you so much for the support from the lawfully community! I'll be updating my 485 progress too!

Congratulations

@Belle: Congratulations. You’re getting me emotional too. I’m so happy for you. So you got it approved as discussed earlier after approval of the primary applicant???
Belle MMar 9, 2022
Thank you Victory!
Belle MMar 9, 2022
@Sassy Yes!! Primary applicant was approved yesterday and today I got this! You are right! I was on the line already!!
Dana ChitfosMar 9, 2022
Congrats! Nice to see good news.
R RMar 9, 2022
So happy for you! We have the same submission date and service center! I hope mine is on the way too!
Sassy AMar 9, 2022
@Belle: That’s great. That’s why I like this forum. You get to have a good idea about the trends. Congrats again.
Sassy AMar 9, 2022
@Belle: I also realized with your experience that it makes sense for them to approve primary applicant first before dependent because if primary is not approvable, they won’t approve dependent.

Great news, many congratulations!
Hazal KsGksyMar 9, 2022
congrats! do you think talking to tier 2 agent made the difference? I have a scheduled phone call with a tier 2 agent in the next two days, so I was just wondering how effective it is. thanks!
Belle MMar 9, 2022
Thank you Dana!
Belle MMar 9, 2022
Thank you R. R.! Best of luck for you!
Belle MMar 9, 2022
Thank you Sassy! It does make sense they have to approve the primary first. It's also nice that if you expedite one you get both primary and dependent approved
Belle MMar 9, 2022
Thank you GC15 Rocks!
Sassy AMar 9, 2022
@Belle: I can’t say it’s a rule lol, but I see that happened with many people here.
Belle MMar 9, 2022
@Hazal I think it made a difference for me! Because i asked tier 2 Why my expedite request was denied before, She gave me a very detailed explanation and that was how I realized uscis made a mistake in my expedite reason. So I explained again and the officer put in a new request for me. But at the same time, I have congressional inquiries going on so... I'm not 100% sure
Belle MMar 9, 2022
@Sassy yeah it's funny we can only "guess" how uscis works
