From removal proceedings to GC in hand (10 year journey)
May, 14 2014 - arrived to US
2015 - Applied for asylum
October 2017 - asylum interview
October, 6 2021 - case transferred to the court (removal proceedings have been initiated, Master hearing for removal proceedings scheduled for February, 15)
December, 2021 - getting married to USC
December, 31 - applied for I-130 standalone (couldn’t do concurrent while in removal)
April, 29 2022 - applied for TPS
December, 30 2022 - (could not longer wait for I-130 to be approved, filed motion to terminate based on pending I-130)
January, 4 2023 - Court received motion
January, 6 2023 - TPS is approved
January, 19 2023 - master hearing rescheduled for August, 15 2024
February, 24 - removal proceeding are terminated based on TPS!! (even lawyer’s assistant told me that TPS has no grounds for terminating removal proceedings => joke is on her)
May 1, 2023 - filing I-485 and I-765
November, 29 - I-765 approved, duration of EAD: 5 years (God bless Biden Administration lol)
Then came bunch of inquiries, calls to USCIS, uncountable chats with EMMA, uploading unsolicited evidence, reaching out to local representative and all that good stuff
February 1, 2024 - interview has been scheduled (interview date: March 23, 2024)
Interview day (Chicago FO) : went with the lawyer, entire process was around 20 min, overall easy peasy lemon squeezy: no separation, lie detectors or torture have been involved in process haha
At the end of the interview officer said we will get a decision within the next 2 weeks (the biggest bullshit I ever heard in my entire life lol) but gave the paper that advised us not bother USCIS within the next 120 days (I mean 2 weeks and 4 months - same thing, right?!)
June, 28 - 130 is approved
June, 29 - 485 is approved (exactly 100 days after the interview, wow)
July, 9 - card was produced
July, 11 - card has been delivered
Permanent resident applying for a re-entry permit
