Steps after Receiving Green Card
Hi all,
I recently received my green card (2-year conditional) by mail and I want to understand if there are any steps I need to take/make.
For background, I was previously on STEM OPT VISA and already working for a US based emmployer when I filed for the green card.
I am aware that one of the changes I need to make is to update my Tax situation and with my employer and start paying for Social Security and Medicare.
I have read online regarding updating SSN but unsure if I have to do it. Is there anything else I need to do in regards with my change in VISA status? (e.g. updating USCIS portal/informing my college DSO etc. )
Appreciate all the help! Hoping that everyone hears good news regarding their VISA this year!

Can congressman speed up green card process?
hello everyone! 👋
I have a question regarding the congressman.
I have filed a form I-485 which is taking very long to be processed, however it’s not out of the ridiculous processing times which is 38 months 🙆🏻
I’m wondering, if there are people here who have asked the congressman for help with I-485 after asylum approval (or other case)? 📂
I’m concerned if:
1. the congressman is able to help?
2. how long does it take for him/her to get back to me with an answer?
3. does asking congressman to help creates an “Expedit request” inquiry on my case?
4. what info will I get after congressman reviews the case (if it’s within process times frames)?
5. any personal experience if you did ask congressman for help will be appreciated!!!
thank you all for your answers in advance!

EB3 PD current but still waiting i-485
My priority date is current since October when it was transferred to NBC. Its been almost 60 days and USCIS doesn’t give me any updates or adjudication on my case. Anyone else had to wait that long when your PD is current to be adjudicated or schedule an interview?

can I sue the USCIS?
I’ve been rejected from tons of jobs even the ones that don’t require green card just because no one understands what approved asylum is! I applied for the green card 2019! this is disgusting. life without green card in this country is not easy even if they pretend it is. I’m a career driven person and now I’m suffering because of the lack of green card. as someone who paid almost 50k in taxes this year I’m not at the top of the list of people getting their god damn GC. now after losing my job no one want to hire me because of my statues.
Screw the USCIS! #greencard #uscis #jobs
Finally, after 800+ days they have scheduled an interview. Then got approved on yhe same day!

International Travel during i485 processing
I have an approved i140 and my i485 is pending with USCIS. I have not yet received the Advance Parole card.
My L1 petition is approved and I also have a Dropbox appointment in Dec. can I travel to my home country for stamping and come back on visa while the i485 is pending. Need suggestions whether this would impact my ongoing i485 case.

I-824 to follow join form?
Hello all, I am been petitioned by my employer for greencard. However, my green card(I-485) application is still pending. My lawyer wants to file I-824 now for my spouse living abroad to follow join before my green card is approved but I'm worried because of the stories I hear about I-824 and the long wait. Is it okay for my lawyer to file I-824 now even though my green card (I-485) application is pending? Please share your stories/ timeline below if you've had the same issue or going through same. Thanks #greencard #I-824 #caseprocessing #caseremainspending #timeline

Second Interview scheduled, is this a good sign?
I have been scheduled to appear at my local USCIS office once again for the I-485. I went through one interview with my wife where we received the bonafied marriage and our I-130 approved right away. Is this a good sign? #greencard #adjustmentofstatus #I-130 #I-485 #interview

Eligibility to submit I-824
hello folk,
I am planning to submit a I-824 for my wife in few days, but not sure if I am eligible and if it is good enough ( need to submit I-131 or not).
I married 2 days before that my I-485 got approved, while traveling with AP.
my I-485 is employment based, and my marriage date is before I-485 approval. I am planning to ask a follow up to join request via I-824 and skip sending I-131.
please advise me, thanks.
