it has been 9 months since they approved my I-130 😭

@anna s when did they receive your application? is NBC your service center?

it’s been a year and 4 months since they approved my i130 and 485 still pending

I-601 must be approved before I-485 can be approved.

@tish squirewell, wow, that is a long wait for you. did you try requesting your congressman to request USCIS speed up your process?

Benny champ yes I did reach out to my congressman from last year but it didn’t help

Hey, just a quick reminder to add your I-130 and I-601 approvals under the USCIS document tab. Let me fill you in on my situation. So, I submitted my I-601 waiver and got denied twice over a year. I tried to file it again three more times, but it kept getting denied 'cause they said I didn’t have enough proof. But good news—my I-601 waiver finally got approved in December 2023! But wait, there's more! After waiting forever for my green card, I started bugging USCIS every week for updates. Then, I got hit with a denial for my I-485 application because the officer claimed they hadn’t received my I-601 approval. Ugh! So, I had to reapply and fork over another $5,000. This time, I made sure to include a copy of my I-601 waiver right with my new I-485 application. After a few months, I got another Request for Evidence (RFE) asking for my I-94, which I sent over right away. But then, on September 27th, guess what? USCIS hit me with another RFE, asking me to file the I-601 waiver again, even though I did that three years ago and it was approved! So, I had to send them my I-601 approval again along with a letter explaining everything today. Fingers crossed they finally send me my green card this time!

@i can't wait to see if the green card is really green, best of luck with your case. I am glad for your endurance in this process.

@anna s, I will update you all if I have any progress in my case. mine is august 2nd 2023 at NBC.

@benny champ when you send your waiver did they send you a receipt notice cause they don’t send me anything

@Mr uscis blog , yes, they did send me the notice. I am not sure why they did not send it to you. did you try contacting USCIS?

@benny champ yes wait 60 days

@benny champ Hi, do you mind me asking what your 601 was for?

@Kingsley B, covid vaccine waiver based on religious belief.

@benny champ I hope that allow you to get the waiver. Don’t give up on it.
