I-485 - SIJS
This wait has been frustrating. My priority date is June 2022, and I'm currently on that date, but I see almost no one with that priority date getting any updates on their process 🄺 Last year, I had to renew my work permit, and it wasn’t difficult—I was able to get it renewed quickly, with an expiration date set for 2030.

@g f My PD is April 2021, I sent a service request this morning. I’m not waiting for the lawyer.
Mi BeniApr 16, 2026
I recently spoke with the lawyer, and he said we need to wait for the RFE to be issued, which hasn’t happened yet. I had reached out to the congressman before, but there were no updates at the time. I’ll submit another request to see if there’s any new information on the case.

ira mApr 16, 2026
mine expires next year and I am freaking out
Mi BeniApr 16, 2026
@ira m My lawyer filed for the renewal in February 2025, and by May the new card had already been approved and produced. My previous card was set to expire in July, but I had already received the updated one in May, valid through 2030

@Mi Beni you can ask if there’s anything pending with your case through Emma, I just did few weeks ago, the response is kind generic but they let you know if there’s anything missing on your case Maybe they didn’t request the RFE because you sent the medicals with your application? I know a lot of people do that but my lawyer advised me to do it when USCIS requests, and they requested in June 2024 and I sent in July 2024 and 3 or 4 days later they placed me in case remains pending due to visa unavailability

@Mi Beni I also had a ghost update in Lawfully and I posted about it and someone else said they also got it, I’m curious if you got it too
Mi Beni4d
@g f I’ll check if I can find any updates. My lawyer didn’t include the RFE with the application, and there hasn’t been any request for it to this day. I haven’t received any updates on my case in the past three years.

@TRS Hopefully Let us know when your hear from them… I want to send a service request too, but I am unsure if I should since my lawyer hasn't replied.
