Expedite Request approved i-130

Hi Everyone, Need your expertise in this matter since uscis customer care isn't a big help these days. Case filled: November 2 2022 Expedite Approved: 11th May 2023 Finally, after 7 months of chasing, Our expedited request has been approved through a congressman. However, i didn't quite under this message from USCIS: "We escalated your inquiry to a senior officer. After careful consideration and review of the information provided, your constituent's request is approved. This case is in the process of being assigned to an adjudicating officer. We do not have a timeframe on when this case will be reviewed to completion." What does this mean? Should I be expecting a decision sooner? My Portal hasn't been updated yet that my expedite request has been approved. #i-130 #expedite request #i-485 #uscis #2023

Emma said my interview is waived but no update....

Hi everyone, My PD is Sept 2022 and still haven't heard back about my travel or work permit.... 😔It was initially estimated to take 4-6 months, but it's been a longer wait, so I asked Emma about the status. Emma said: "Starting with the permanent resident application, it is processing normally nothing is needed at this time. The interview for this case has been waived so far. Keep in mind residency cannot be granted if there is a pending petition for you. Your employment and travel documents are completing the mandatory reviews. Once complete you will receive an alert. They are also still within processing time." It looks like my interview is waived, but there is no progress on the Case Status page. It's still showing "Being actively reviewed" ever since I did fingerprints... Anyone have an idea how much longer I would have to wait? or any other thoughts? 😂I just wish I could get the work and travel permit soon... My case is a green card holder applying for green card for his spouse(me). And the documents are currently at NBC. I sumbitted all the documents at the same time except for the health exam, which my attorney suggested me to wait until we hear back from USCIS. #nbc #marriage #greencard #i-485 #i-765 #i-130 #i-131

I spoke to an agent on the ask Emma chat today and they informed me that my I-485 interview had been waived as they do not need it to finalize a decision. Has this happened to anyone else? Is it good?

I-485 Long waiting time

Hello all. Hope you all have been progressing well in our GC journey. I have got my fingerprints taken March 2022 and got my case transferred from NBC to NJ FO in April 2022. Then I received RFE on my past travel history, no medical. I haven't heard back on my RFE status ever since but I managed to break through Emma and get an email response back from USCIS stating that my case is still under review. Does RFE on non medical documents usually take up more time to process? I would love to know if anyone has had the similar experience.. Wish you all a speedy approval! #I-485 #gc #rfe

I finally got approved after 7 months of waiting. We submitted application at NBC and was processed in Washington Field Office in Fairfax VA. I also did my interview at the same field office.

Eb4: Change of employers while I-485 is pending

Can we change employers while I-485 is pending for eb4 religious workers? I know there’s I-485j form for other employment bases categories if they change employers after 180days but not sure for eb4. Now that the things changed coz of retrogression, I would like to know if there’s any option for changing employers. #greencard #i-485

I-130 Approved but I-485 reads: Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS

Hello Everyone, I have a question please, My I-130 was approved! But on the same day my I-485 status changed to : We have cancelled the request for additional evidence for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. and then my I-485 status changed to: Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS Now my I-485 status is: Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS and its been around 5 days, What to expect next? Did anyone go through the same? Does anyone know what's next ? Thank you all Goodluck everyone! #I-130 #I-485 #RFE #Approval

Green Card approved

Yesterday I shared my experience during my interview. I received the approval for my I-485; however, I-130 is still pending. I'm thrilled, and because I know how stressful is all this process I want to share with you how I organized my documents in case some of you find it helpful. I divided my documents into five categories: in a brief case: 1. i-130: where I had all the copies you need, like passports, marriage certificates, birth certificates, Driver's licenses, and interview notices. 2. Cohabitation: We don't have a lease; my husband owns the apartment, so we have the deed, plus different documents to prove I have the same address: my bank statements, correspondences I received, plus a letter from the building manager stating we live together. 3. Joint finances and insurance: Credit card statements from our joint account, car insurance, health insurance, tax returns, my 401k, where my husband is the beneficiary, and life insurance. We also included a print screen where I'm his emergency contact at work, and he is on mine. 4. Memberships and dog: Our puppy agreement, the registration at the AKC, some vet receipts, everything with both of our names on it. Also, we included our Spotify duo account, Amazon Household and the gym membership. 5. Love, friends and entertainment: We submitted 8 support letters from family and friends including a copy of their ID, copy of the letters we gave to each other for Christmas, Valentine's day and special occasions. Also, some wedding invitations and other letters our friends sent us. Additionally, we included at least 8 Facebook posts, and our profiles where it says we are married to each other. And finally, we printed all the events and concerts we went together, at least 10. I just printed the tickets. Apart from this we had a big photo album, but the officer didn't ask for pictures (she was a little bit overwhelmed for all the evidences, and that is exactly what we wanted). She also congratulated us for how we organized our documents. I wanted to share this with you in case it is helpful. As I said, after a year waiting I know how stressful is this process. I wish all the best for you guys. 🙏 #I-485 #interview #greencard

485 case was assigned to an officer for processing - is that good news?

hello, I was told by USCIS customer service that my I-485 was assigned to an officer on April 3. should I consider that as good news about hearing next action soon? or it means nothing. any experience / info would be helpful. thank you all and best of luck. #I-485 #EB2-NIW

Can I apply for OPT while pending I-765 based on I-485?

Hi, I applied for a work permit through a marriage-based green card on November 28th, 2022, and I just now realized that it might take 15 months to get approved (compared to the 4-6 months I initially thought). I am graduating in May and am interviewing for jobs right now. I am terrified of staying off I-20 status, and not being able to work (+ not being able to drive). Can I apply for an OPT (4-week estimated wait time) while I have a pending I-765 based on marriage? I read somewhere that it could give confusing/opposing intent as one is an immigrant while the other is a non-immigrant, but I also read that the worst case would be the denial of OPT but no effect on the green card process whatsoever. Some have even said they have done so successfully. Your thoughts??? Thank you!!!! I am so stressed right now... #opt #i765 #i485 #ead #i130 #i-765 #i-485 #i-130

my I-485 says they are being reviewed by USCIS but my -I 130 just says notification received and sent is it normal?? Or should they both change to being reviewed?

When will this battle be over???? I am tired mehn. The system should be automatically set that once Vawa approved, the i-485 should follow immediately if filled concurrently. #vawa #i-485

Is anyone in the same situation?

My I-130 case went from “YOUR CASE IS TAKING LONGER THAN EXPECTED TO PROCESS. YOU DO NOT NEED TO TAKE ANY ACTION AT THIS TIME.“ to “Estimated time until case decision” three weeks. Has anyone had the same situation lately? I'll turn two years of marriage by July 8th. Will it be enough time to get a 10-year card instead of a 2-year card? #I-130 #I-485
