how long they take to approve the I-290B

I applied in January 2020 they approved in August 2020... but was just an approval I’m still waiting on them to be scheduled for my interview.

they scheduled my interview for February 7th and February 5thr they called me they canceled my interview in since date I never heard from them,my PD is jun 13 2018!! I got a for you,did the call you to cancel yours or the sent you email or mail? thank you in advance

they canceled through notice letter

oh ok

hi joint buteau what happen with your case after 290b approved and reopened case how long take to make decision ? mine also reopened but no decision I am worry how long take to make a new decision

hi Sara sorry for that long after they reopened everything on two weeks everything was processed for the interview

it’s been almost a year since I posted about my process… to give you an update USCIS never answer my I-290b so this happened after that. 1. I found a lawyer and she recommended to apply from scratch wich was painful in terms of money and time but I did it anyways. I follow her advice that was on September 2020. 2. I had to pay again everything USCIS fees and attorneys fees I didn’t care and did my last try I put my whole savings into that. I applied again and 2 weeks I got the normal letter of case received but this time they told me that they would use my previous biométrics so I skip that part. 3. October 2020 I got an non official letter from USCIS, I said a non official because that letter literally looks a copy from a old printer with no logos no info non professional. that letter was very shady for me ( they said to appear to the immigration building with my passport and alone) when I see the word “alone” I shocked, bc I was adjusting my status through marriage. I told my lawyer and she told me no matter what don go alone and if they don’t allow your spouse to enter call me and I will do video call representation. 4. a week before of my interview an officer of USCIS called me ( I was confused this system and USCIS don’t call one aleast from my experience) I thought it was a scam or something many feelings in that called, this officer call me to cancel my appointment I was like omg again??? this can’t happened… I asking him with respect I know you ar busy but please just answer me a quick question… he said go ahead… I have 2 cases one new and one on hold due to I-290b which case are you talking about? he said we have combined your two cases in one file… so we will notify you when your appointment is rescheduled. I was in shocked I was like why are they calling me , is this real? it’s scam? they never call they are really cold .. anyway this officer end the call saying!! this info has been communicated to your attorney. I was like wowwwww . call ended. 5. my attorney called me and she said yes they called and you have to wait. get ready a new medical exam just in case. I have that ready and same week a got the same non professional letter. appear alone , passport and pen. 6. I went with my spouse he was able to enter, we got out Intervie and a week later my gc was delivered to my home even when during the interview the immigration officer told me at the end that my case was going to be on hold for review. having an attorney save my life and finally that nightmare ends late year on October 2020. how are you going?!

what happened next??

@fred cele, I know it has been a while since you got the no show from USCIS, seeing that you have experience with this issue, are you available to assist me?

I have 1290b case pending 1 year now

Hey everyone! It's been a minute since our last chat, and I wanted to share a quick update on what's been going on. I recently wrapped up another process with USCIS, which is why I'm back on the app. Our last conversation was back in October 2021, where I mentioned the challenges of securing my Green Card. It took filling out the I-485 twice and throwing in the I-290b (which didn't pan out for me). Eventually, I had to bring in a lawyer and essentially start from scratch, but it was totally worth it because I finally got my Green Card. Post-2020, I made the move to Los Angeles, and that's where I'm currently based. Now, I'm eagerly checking the app for updates on my N-400 application, which is scheduled for the oath ceremony. This is a huge milestone for me, considering the hurdles along the way. It's proof that the wait and challenges have been worthwhile. I'm curious about how things are going for you any updates on your end?
