FINALLY GREENED
Sep 9, 2025
DONE
Finally, it’s my turn. It hasn’t been easy full of tears and pain, but I finally made it. Here’s my timeline:
PD: 06/2021
Filed I-485: 02/2022
Case transferred from Texas to NBC: 04/2022
05/2022: Submitted inquiry via USCIS website
05/2022: Received second medical RFE from non-local FO (I also submitted my first medical concurrently with I-485)
06/2022– 06/2025: Retrogression
05/2025: Submitted e-request inquiry (no response until 08/20, when I already knew my interview date)
06/2025: Contacted my area Congressman to submit inquiry
06/27/2025: Received response (generic answer)
06/17/2025: Filed mandamus lawsuit
07/19/2025: Fingerprints updated
08/05/2025: Interview waiver eligibility cancelled
08/06/2025: Case requested to transfer to FO
08/08/2025: Case moved to FO
08/15/2025: Interview scheduled 08/29/2025: Court deadline; USCIS requested first extension till 09/29
09/09/2025: Interview
Questions they asked me:
When did you come to the U.S.?
Which schools have you attended?
Show transcripts (they reviewed each semester)
Who paid your tuition?
Have you graduated from university?
When did you start working?
When was your EAD approved?
Before working for your sponsor, did you ever work illegally?
Describe your job, sponsor name, how you knew this sponsor, and start date
They checked all my W-2s and keep all my W2s returned all 1040 tax returns
They asked to keep all my 1099 from all my side jobs
Verified sponsor info: name and address
Have you ever left the U.S.? (They asked for Form I-131)
Asked to see birth certificate
Why did I sue USCIS? 😅
Why didn’t you bring a lawyer today?
Do you have a medical exam? (old one expired)
Then 30–40 yes/no questions
Finally, they typed the information into the computer, stamped “approved,” said the card will arrive in 2 weeks, and congratulated me—starting today, I am a permanent resident. Status in the app changed to ‘New card is being produced’ as soon as I stepped outside.
Don’t be afraid ,everyone will reach their destination with a bit of luck. Good luck everyone, and Vietnam ƠI CỐ LÊN 🤞

Appa AppaSep 9, 2025
@BYE USCIS Done thank you b. cho mình hỏi fees nó lấy của b là bao nhiêu?
FINALLY GREENEDSep 9, 2025
@Lisa Trinh thank you b. Mình trả lời nhu vậy nè : I believe my case is straightforward, so waiting nearly four and a half years is unreasonable, especially after submitting e-Requests and contacting my congressman, only to get generic replies. I also don’t want to rely on AP 131 every time I visit my parents abroad since it doesn’t 100% guarantee re-entry. That’s why I need the court’s help to reach a final decision
FINALLY GREENEDSep 9, 2025
