My case is very similar to yours, also in Boston. June 25, 2025 – I-485 filed September 11, 2025 – Interview September 11, 2025 – Case reviewed Awaiting approval… Did you receive or get approved for your work permit before your green card approval?

@K. F. did you receive your work permit previously ?
K. F.Apr 16, 2026
@T N @D B , no I didn’t receive my work permit because I already had a SSN since 2018. I got my SSN from school.

Did you file a complaint with USCIS or did they just approve it?
K. F.Apr 16, 2026
my lawyer did and I sent an email to the congressman. I think it helped me

My case is also similar to yours. On February, did your case change from “Inteview was scheduled” to something else? And what did that second touch looked like on the online portal? many thanks.

Also, congratulations on your approval!!

Hey @Guilherme Oliveira, thank you!! 🙏 Yeah, after my interview it stayed like “interview was scheduled” for a while. Then in February I saw a “touch” (no visible update in the normal portal), and that’s when I knew they were reviewing again. The second touch also didn’t change the status, it just showed activity behind the scenes. What really helped me was checking the API to see those updates. If you want to try: * Log into your USCIS account and leave it open * Open another tab and paste this (replace with your receipt number): my.uscis.gov/account/case-service/api/cases/YOUR_RECEIPT_NUMBER It will show timestamps and internal updates (“touches”) that don’t appear in the normal portal. Then just take a screenshot and send it to ChatGPT — it helps understand what’s going on. Hope that helps! You’re probably close 🙌

hey @K. F. ,thanks for your reply, it gave me a bit more of hope 🙏🏻. Also, I use that exact same como: API data plus ChatGPT 🤣. That’s why I asked you specifically about the online portal b/c my case is still stuck on “interview was scheduled.” Interestingly, I also noticed that February “touch” using the API trick, but I filed on July 4th, about two months after you. I’m planning to mail my congressman, and do a service inquiry through my lawyer in June when my EAD form gets outside of normal processing time. Many thanks 🙏🏻
