How much longer will we have to wait?
We're 429 days in. I'm a US citizen and applied for my husband, September 20th, 2023, with a lawyer. I contacted our lawyer to ask what to expect from the incoming administration to get some assurance that he will be ok but he said that unfortunately he can't give me any assurances until the new administration takes office and get a read on the situation and next steps.. Anyone have September approvals? We were initially Nebraska sc and apparently transferred to California sc. there has been no updates at all for 421 days. He was brought here illegally as a minor, he lives here with me and our children. Please don't say the "oh at least he's with you" because we still have to worry about him being deported. It's kind if frustrating that I'm seeing approvals from people who have just filed this year? 😐

Delayed H1B application response by 5+months
hello all my application was filed in May with receipt notice being June 3rd at California Service center. Been 158 days more than 5 months still no update. Anyone else in the same boat as me.
Also is it anything to be concerned about my employer just telling me to wait. Is there anything that employers can do to request the reason behind the delay. TIA
N-400 San Diego California, feedback if it helps
I applied for my 10 years green card in July 2022. In February 2024 I applied for the naturalization because my green card was still pending. after 2-3 weeks my 10 years green card was approved without interview. then in September I received the notice for interview for November 5.
my case is 3 mariage mariage and 3 years green card eligibility. My interview was around 10:50 at the office. my spouse was not required to be at the interview but we went anyway. the security mentioned we could have guest. they verified the appointment letter and both our ID before entering the building. I arrived early and waited outside until the office allowed everyone to enter. they sent everyone to check in then send us to the interview floor. I was called by my officer alone (my spouse waited in the waiting room). my officer was nice (which I hoped for), they asked me to civic question (1-what did the emancipation proclamation do, 2-when do we vote, 3- what ocean was in the east cost, 4-who make federal law, 5- how many senators are there, 6- name 3 original colonies). I learned all these from USCIS website free tool learning and YouTube videos.
they asked me to read a sentence ( I don’t remember this sentence) and asked me to write (we pay our taxes.).
then my application: name, birth day, address, if that’s my address for the last 5 years, what I do for work and if I work remotely, my travel plans (I traveled a lot outside of US), when was my last travel, what countries I have visited and the purposes. if I have any travel plan coming soon (I said yes).
then the yes or no question.
I got approved. I did the same day oath (5 minutes).
The entire process took less than 1h. I entered the building at 10:45 ishhh and exist the building around 11:40.
I hope this feedback helps.

Approved I-130 F2A
I have gotten my I-130 approved today, I received an approval notice to the USCIS account but the status of the file has not changed yet which is a bit weird!
The approval came from Texas center despite my original center being California center, my PD is January 22 and i am currently in Europe (outside the US).
What is the next step? Is it Ceac reaching out?
How long will does it usually take for CEAC to share the invitation letter to initiate next steps? And any idea why the status didn’t change yet?
I hope you all get approved soon <3
Cheers, M
