The I-485 took seven and a half months from the receipt date to approval. I filed the adjustment-of-status application myself. Thank you to everyone who shared timelines, answered questions during my DIY, and offered encouragement. I hope my timeline helps others who are still waiting.

So your country is just part of the 75 and not part of the 39. Reason why I ask is that I’m part of both and just wanted to see if there is hope. thank you
