MAY 2023
Any May 2023 approvals yet? I haven’t seen anyone from May getting approved. But a lot of end of April ones are getting approved within the last couple of weeks, so I believe May is coming! I’m May 4th 2023! North Carolina! EAD and AP approved so far. AP approved and card was produced almost 1 month ago, but still haven’t received the card!!!!!

@V S I was going to ask you about the AP production. mine was just approved today but worried it’s never going to come in the mail. what the heck! it seems like our time is coming but I asked Emma today and she said my case is STILL AT NBC. I don’t get why it hasn’t been transferred to a field office yet.
Eddie PliegoMay 6, 2024
I been waiting since April 7,2023 for a decision
V
V SMay 6, 2024
@w s Yeah! My AP was approved April 10th, produced April 11th. But nothing after that. I got in touch and they told me to file an e-request if I don’t receive it within 60 days. But I’m hoping 60 days from now, the green card will be approved 🤣🤣 HOPEFULLY! And yes… it should be in a field office already, for what I understand. I talked to a live agent that told me my case is in Charlotte since July 2023…
Shaw MarMay 6, 2024
@w s Does USCIS notify both petioner and beneficiary via email. I'm tired of checking and getting anxious. Does this app also notify? I just want to stop looking but don't want to miss out in the event gets approved
w
w sMay 6, 2024
@Shaw Mar my husband never signed up for updates so I’m not sure if petitioner gets them. but you definitely should. yes the updates are almost immediate on text and this app if they have taken action then you can login and see the update. I check all the time even though I know this information 😂. to be honest I knew something was going to happen soon because my cases changed from taking longer than expected for MONTHS to all of the sudden 2 months then a few weeks all within a week. and the date on my RFE changed last week. I only knew that info by checking online but did it change the outcome? NOPE LOL
w
w sMay 6, 2024
@V S I am in Charlotte too so maybe I should hope that it gets approved at NBC which an Emma told me is possible. who knows. I’m just over it!!!
V
V SMay 6, 2024
@w s What was your RFE for? I did not get any. I tried submitting everything I could at once! Medical, Taxes, Pictures, everything! And I have also uploaded additional documents on their website last week (2023 taxes that we just filled together last April [2024], joint car insurance, joint phone bills, new pictures, etc.) 🙏 Now hoping it’ll happen sometime during summer!!!
w
w sMay 6, 2024
@V S it was for my long form birth certificate that my lawyer didn’t tell me was necessary until we basically submitted. she was like “oh they might ask for it”. so I ordered it right away and uploaded it but they asked for it anyways. I’m pretty sure that delayed my case. they just applied it to my file last week after 7 months!!! I haven’t added my joint tax return etc but maybe that’s a good idea. we literally have 2 children together so our marriage is super bona fide. lol.
V
V SMay 6, 2024
@w s Well, at least when one of the 2 of us gets approved, we know the other one will be soon too, since we’re both in Charlotte Field Office and similar PDs! 🎉
fran fineMay 6, 2024
@V S mine was approved on April 22 an I have received mine the same week on Saturday it's a paper not a card. that's weird that you have not received yours PD May 5.
V
V SMay 6, 2024
@fran fine Yeah… I received the paper that says it was approved. The notice. But not the actual document.
fran fineMay 6, 2024
@w s the same exact thing has happen to me has well. my case changed from taking longer than expected to 2 months then a week AP got approved then I saw my Rfe date changed as well in a few weeks too. I thought I was the only one seeing this.
fran fineMay 6, 2024
@V S I got both in the mail. oh wowww well 60 days it is but it's coming. might as well send the green card.
w
w sMay 6, 2024
@fran fine we have almost the exact same timeline so far except 2 weeks apart. wishing you a speedy approval! I was hoping the date change on my RFE meant they’d look at my 485 but I will take all the progress I can get!
fran fineMay 6, 2024
@w s I have been watch your updates as soon as you said that yours changed from longer than expected to 2 months...I went straight to my account and saw the same thing. I hope so too when you get approved I'm right behind you that's how I feel...lol
V
V SMay 7, 2024
@w s @fran fine let’s keep each other posted, since we have very similar PDs!
fran fineMay 7, 2024
@V S oh yesssss
w
w sMay 7, 2024
@w s @fran fine my progress on my 130 just went to 14 months!!! its been 1 week down to taking longer than expected then 6 months then 5 months in the last few weeks. just now: 14 months!!! what the actual F is going on. I actually started to laugh when I saw that
fran fineMay 7, 2024
@w s mine was saying 3 months today. let me go check it now and see if it changed.
fran fineMay 7, 2024
@w s I just checked it now says 5 months...don't let it stress you out just say to yourself it will be over soon.
w
w sMay 7, 2024
@fran fine I just think it’s hilarious that they even have a progress tab that’s so grossly inaccurate 😂😂makes zero sense. but if it is 14 months at least I’ll get a 10 year green card lol
V
V SMay 7, 2024
@w s @fran fine mine was 4 months, but then changed to 5 months like 3 weeks ago. Then 4 months again. But yesterday changed back to 5 months and still is 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Not accurate at all, since all 3 of us are getting approved in JUNE!!!
fran fineMay 7, 2024
lol...love you both @V S @w s . I was think that same month JUNE
fran fineMay 7, 2024
thinking*
V
V SMay 7, 2024
@fran fine ❤️ Yes, it will definitely be JUNE for us, since it’ll be almost 14 months ate the end of June. That’s usually what we’re seeing happening in this app. April fillers are almost 100% approved at this point and the rest will be approved during May. Ours is happening sometime during June 🙏❤️
w
w sMay 7, 2024
@V S @fran fine my bday is in June. I would not be mad at a green card for my birthday!!!!!!
fran fineMay 7, 2024
@w s that would be special an I will be here celebrating with you or I should say US..lol
w
w sMay 7, 2024
@fran fine for all our sake I hope we have deleted this app!!! let’s gooooooo
V
V SMay 7, 2024
@w s @fran fine Hey, guys! Question 1: Is your i-130 still showing only Case Received? Mine is. It’s not showing “actively reviewing” yet. Question 2: Are you also in the US? I have the 485 going on too!
w
w sMay 7, 2024
@V S yes my 130 has been showing received since day 1. I am in the US, yes. I live in Charlotte NC.
V
V SMay 7, 2024
@w s Yeah… I thought only my case was still showing only “received”. I see a lot of people saying they got their second “actively reviewing” right before approval. And I was like “I don’t even have the FIRST actively reviewing hhahahaha”. My 485 does show “actively reviewing” tho. And yeah, we’re neighbors! I live and work in Charlotte!!!
fran fineMay 7, 2024
@V S my i130 is just showing case received. I'm in the US,and my i485 has changed received date to April 16, not even saying actively reviewing.
fran fineMay 7, 2024
april 16,2024
V
V SMay 7, 2024
Wait, your 485 was only showing received April of 2024? @fran fine Didn’t you file everything at once back in May of 2023?
w
w sMay 7, 2024
@V S no @fran fine is saying that the RFE received date changed in April. Mine just changed last week (I sent my RFE in October) but the cases are still showing the RFE received not “active review”. I did get an active review on 485 last year right after biometrics when my EAD was approved.
fran fineMay 7, 2024
yes I did, it was showing rfe received on july 18,2023. then I don't remember if it was you who had a similar situation and then I looked and it changed. the thing is I'm seeing on this app that my i485 is actively reviewed from July 2023 but not on my account on uscis.
w
w sMay 7, 2024
@V S @fran fine I think our 130 approval will come after our first active review since ours didn’t go into active review with the 485 at biometrics. I am not worried about my 130 at all for RFEs. if they don’t approve after they see the 2 children and pictures of my husband at the births of them and the many family reunions and events and trips we have been to together… then they are crazy.
fran fineMay 7, 2024
@w s it will be done in Jesus name
V
V SMay 7, 2024
@w s @fran fine Yeah!!! I haven’t received any RFE from them since I filed my case. Sent everything at once and they haven’t asked for anything so far. However, I did upload unsolicited docs on their website, such as joint bank accounts, joint insurance, joint phone bills, etc, that we only did after we filed our case. So I just went on their website last week and uploaded the new docs, including the 2023 taxes that we just filed in April 2024. Hopefully my agent won’t need anything else from us 🤣🤣🤣

Patiently WaitingMay 8, 2024
I’ve been seeing May approvals on casestatusext.com but there is also a ton of approvals for people that literally just submitted their applications which I find absolutely bonkers.
w
w sMay 9, 2024
@V S @fran fine did your status on 131 change to sent or did it stay on produced?
w
w sMay 9, 2024
@Patiently Waiting I KNOW. it’s infuriating. and I know my case isn’t complicated. they still “received” my 130.
V
V SMay 9, 2024
@w s They approved the AP on April 10th. Still shows “card was produced” since April 11.
w
w sMay 9, 2024
wtf!!! @V S. mine went next day to produced. I really hope it actually gets sent
V
V SMay 9, 2024
@w s Yeah… I’m not worrying too much about it since I’m not planning on leaving the country before the actual GC! And I’m hoping we (May 2023 filers) get approved sometime this month or June 2024!!!!
P
Patiently WaitingMay 9, 2024
@w s - Same here! Canadian, married for 9 years, together for 14, have 2 Children together. My Husband was born here but has dual-citizenship US/ Canada. Super thankful for my EAD approval though.
w
w sMay 9, 2024
@Patiently Waiting also Canadian, been here 10 years and with my husband for 9 with 2 kids although we did JUST get married in 2023. I’m not big on weddings so we had a 5 year engagement lol
w
w sMay 9, 2024
@V S I am definitely trying to get out of here in June. hoping it comes in the mail
V
V SMay 9, 2024
@w s I feel you! I just can’t stand checking the status 5 times a day everyday for more than a year already 🤣 I swear… I check both USCIS’ website and this app at least 5x every single day! Documents tab, lawfully, event “MyProgress” that everyone knows is not accurate at all! hahahahaha Need this to be over already!!!
w
w sMay 9, 2024
@V S we are the same person I swear lolololol
V
V SMay 9, 2024
@w s if you check the premium for your case here in the app, says that April has 65% of the cases approved and May is at 35% at this moment. I know it only shows the cases registered on this app, but is still a good resource to understand where USCIS is…
fran fineMay 9, 2024
@w s case closed on my i131 already received the paper four days after approval.
w
w sMay 9, 2024
@V S I don’t put much weight on those stats. we all see that nothing they do really makes sense. most 130s are being approved in 12.5 months but it’s not all… and some long cases make no sense
w
w sMay 9, 2024
@fran fine did you get a tracking number or is the status still “document produced”?
fran fineMay 9, 2024
@w s no tracking number it came just like an approval letter it's not a card
w
w sMay 9, 2024
@fran fine ok thanks!!
V
V SMay 9, 2024
@fran fine what shows on your account, tho? Like “UPS picked up your new card”? Or does it still say “AP was produced”?
fran fineMay 9, 2024
@V S it's not a card it's a paper
V
V SMay 9, 2024
@fran fine lol anyways… What does it show?
fran fineMay 9, 2024
that you are approved it's called i512L...look it up
fran fineMay 9, 2024
if you did not get a combo card they will sent that as your AP
fran fineMay 9, 2024
your picture is on it as well@V S
fran fineMay 9, 2024
@V S you got approved before me you have not received it yet?
fran fineMay 9, 2024
when I got the approval the next day it was produced then on Saturday the same week I got the notice plus the AP..I hope that helped :-)
V
V SMay 9, 2024
@fran fine Lol that’s not what I’m trying to ask you 🤣 My question is: What shows on your I-765? What is the last message it shows? For example, mine shows “Your document was produced”. Is it also the last message yours show? Or does it show like “Your document was picked up”?
V
V SMay 9, 2024
@fran fine And no, I did not receive it yet! It was approved April 10th, then on April 11th it changed to “Document was produced”. And nothing since then.
fran fineMay 9, 2024
@V S my i765 says it was delivered to the post office and a tracking number. which I got the card before they sent the tracking number.
fran fineMay 9, 2024
@V S oh wow..I thought you got it already. 60 days has not passed yet so let's see.
V
V SMay 9, 2024
@fran fine Yeah… I’m thinking about calling them to maybe have someone looking at my case. But since it hasn’t been 60 days yet, I’m a little afraid that it would look bad for me to be calling. My hope is to whenever I tell the agent that my AP wasn’t delivered, that the agent can help having someone looking at the whole application!
fran fineMay 9, 2024
@V S well nothing tried nothing done..it might trigger an approve.
V
V SMay 9, 2024
@fran fine in fact you’re definitely right! I’m gonna call right now lol
fran fineMay 9, 2024
@V S let me know the outcome.
V
V SMay 9, 2024
@fran fine So I called and about the I-131, the woman put on a request for my local office to contact me via email within 30 days about the Advance Parole not being delivered yet. 🤣 By the time they get in touch, it will be the 60 days from approval, so that’s not going to help a lot. Only thing is that I hope it triggers them to look at the rest of the case. When I asked her if there was anything we could do to help trigger an agent to look at my I-130, she said “Your spouse, the citizen that applied for you, has to call about that case”. And I’m at work. So basically nothing happened 🤣 Hopefully that will trigger Charlotte Field Office to look deeper into the whole application!!!
fran fineMay 9, 2024
they are something else...lol
