question!! 🙋♀️
for people who got their i-130 approved, may i ask if i-824 and i-485 were mentioned in your approval notice? because i thought my i-130 is a standalone and i don't need to file i-824 (since im outside the us) but i think there's a mistake. or is it just a generic template? #ir2 #approvalletter #approved #i130 #i-130 #nvc

Approval!
got my I-485 approval on 3/15. sharing timeline below in case it helps.
9/11/2024 - I-140 and I-485 received.
9/25/2024 - I-140 approved (premium processing)
10/7/2024 - biometrics appointment.
10/8/2024 - case status changed to being “actively reviewed”
2/21/2025 - case transferred to non local field office (Santa Ana) as per Emma.
3/14/2025 - received an email as “an action has been taken on your case” but there was no update in the account.
3/15/2025 - received an identical email , logged in and saw the status as approved . a courtesy notice was also available for download in the documents tab .
some relevant information:
1. received notice for both myself and my spouse on the same day. still waiting for dependent child.
2. Category - EB1-C. country of origin - India.
3. priority date 12/22/2014 (from previous I-140 submitted through EB2).
4. previously the priority date was set as receipt date ie 9/11/2024 instead of 12/22/2014. I submitted a typographical error service request to correct the priority date.
5. Lawfully didn’t have any status update and still shows as pending after more than 30 hours since the approval noted in the portal.
6. I regularly checked the usciscaseext.com - it gave a very good indicator of how many applications within your block were processed and total percentage of applications approved.
7. I was just lucky that the field office approved in about 3 weeks. Most field offices take 2-8 weeks to make a decision.
8. I did not receive any RFE . submitted our birth certificates (in English fortunately since country of origin is India) and medical exam I-693 along with the 485 application l.
9. in case it’s relevant , we did not have our infant take Covid vaccine. However, USCIS no longer requires COVID vaccine to be taken by applicants.
please feel free to ask me any questions. I am happy to answer based on my experience.

PD - July 3, 2023
AR1 - Aug 24, 2023
AR2 - Aug 25, 2024 (Sunday) which we got approved!
(We don't check our case on weekends because we know they don't work, but we didn’t know they were approving on weekends. Maybe it was approved before that, and this was a system-generated)
My husband received an email saying that they had taken action in our case. The case status is still being actively reviewed, but found the approval on the documents tab.
Thank you, Lord!!!🥹🙌🏻
We’re happy that we’re done with the first part. It was a long wait, and I know there's another waiting game on the next step, but we’re ready, NVC! Hopefully, it’ll go smoothly. Don’t give up, guys! Your turn will come. Think about it at the end of the day. All of these will be worth it. Aja! Fighting!💪🏻 God bless us all 😇
