I-485

Hello, I received an 1 email and a text message Uscis has taken an action on my case, oct 22nd and I-485 has changed to New updated date oct 22,2025, i-485 has 3 updated timestamps of FTA0 and case is still being processed by USCIS but after that nothing has been changed, nothing on documents tab. Anyone been through this? Anyone got schedule for interview or a approval? Thank you.

I-751 Processing

Is there anyone who applied #I-751 in 2023 and still hasn’t been approved yet? I submitted my application in November 2023, but it still only says that "Case Is Still Being Processed By USCIS". I applied only for permanent residency, not for citizenship. Thanks.
