Currently on OPT, when to file for Marriage-based green card and EAD
Hi all,
I am currently on F-1 OPT, and my spouse is a US citizen. I haven't filed any forms for marriage-based adjustment of status yet. I would like to start the process ASAP, but worried if I must wait until 90 days after I return from my inevitable international travel planned for August 15-September 3. That means I won't be able to file until early December.
I understand that the general rule is I should wait until then due to my current OPT status, but I still wanted to ask here if there is any way for me to start the process now. I also understand that it takes a while to get an Advance Parole approved. TIA!

How long it takes for I-485 approval
hello lovely community,
I hope you have a great week. how long does it usually take for I-485 to get approved after the approval of I-130, My husband got the approval for me this morning and I still didn’t receive anything on my account under documents, Also, does that mean they waived the interview?
Thank you for your amazing support

7 January 2022 PD - Approval - Writ of Mandamus Filed
I wanted to let anyone who sees this know that if you are beyond regular processing times and are financially in a place to afford such a large expense, don’t waste anymore time and file a Writ of Mandamus.
I literally took advice from someone else on Reddit, a stranger, and I am so grateful and happy I did. So this is why I’m posting all of this, to hopefully help inform someone else that’s in a similar situation and help them find resolve and peace!
From signing the contract, to having our I-130 and I-485 approved, it took a total of 22 days. Once USCIS received notifications from the US Attorney’s office, on a Monday, quite literally the next day, Tuesday, our case was approved.
Additionally, the immigration office we are working with keeps our lawsuit open with the US Attorney until the Green Card is produced and delivered. The case won’t be closed until that happens.
The immigration office we are working with (Hacking Immigration) charged $5k and the processing fees are $500 (government related).
After trying to patiently wait for the Fairfax, Virginia FO to process our paperwork, we felt helpless and decided to go this route… 870 days later.
Regarding our timeline down below - it’s all corrrct except for the RFE part. We received an RFE, but within minutes, we received another update not reflected in the timeline that stated the RFE was cancelled. Later we received the interview notification.
This post is kind of all over the place, so lmk if you have any specific questions down below and I’ll try to help out where I can!
