i485
I filed my marriage-based I-485 (spouse of U.S. citizen) in November 2025. Now it has been 3 months and still no process.My case should be at the Albany, NY Field Office. No RFE so far. Can anyone share recent Albany timelines? • How long did it take to get the interview? • How long from filing to decision? Thanks!

no @John Marston but you are also not at a field office you are at the NBC still
John MarstonFeb 19, 2026
@colin Vaughn Yes at the NBC now.I live in Albany NY. So once the interview is scheduled,I think it probably will be at Albany field office.I heard that Albany field office has a quite slow processing time🥲🥲Like average 13.5 months from the uscis website.

I’m in Michigan, but filed last November. we haven’t heard anything other than it was received. it depends on the country the spouse is from.

don’t focus at the stats this app gives you they are not realistic the current approval time for a i765 is 7 months but when you look here it seems like it should’ve been here months ago
