Since our interview, the status had been "Application is pending." Today, it changed to "Decision is pending." Is there anything related to this?

Need recommendations

I’m #seeking advice on obtaining advance parole documents for urgent travel to India due to a medical emergency. I had my green card interview on April 7, 2025, but haven't received my card yet. Can I apply for advance parole while my green card application is pending? What's the processing time, and what's the best approach to take in this situation? I'd appreciate any guidance on how to proceed."

waiting for decision

I had an interview on February 19, 2025 and I added my wife during the interview. She got the letter for biometrics under code 5 and she already done before 3 weeks ago. I’m still waiting and it shows Application is pending. Any ideas what to do? Anyone have same related timelines?

asylum case changed to application is pending without interview.

Is anyone in the same situation? I entered with humanitarian parole, I am from Nicaragua, as you know the Trump administration paused asylum applications for people who entered recently, has the same thing happened to anyone? My case was awaiting an interview and it simply changed to pending, I understand that USCIS can award asylum without an interview but the truth is I see it unlikely although my case is strong, what do you think about this?

Exploring Canadian Student Visa Options While Awaiting USCIS Approval.

Hi everyone, Hope you all are doing good and fighting along gracefully. let this month be a unusual miracles for everyone who are going through like us. I’ve applied for a spouse visa (I-130 A) at the Vermont Service Center (husband green card holder) and it's been a year since my application. I’m considering applying for a Canadian student visa to pursue a master’s degree. Can I apply for the Canadian visa while my USCIS application is pending? Will this affect my USCIS process in any way? Any insights would be appreciated! 🥺 Please 🙏
