husband in ice custody
hiii
so my husband was taken into ice custody on april 20 because of his expired tourist visa since nov 2024. we had our wedding planned for june, but due to the situation, we married on may to start the process of his green card while detained. i was informed that a detainee gets priority by uscis due to humanitarian reasons, but it’s been like 3 months now with no response from uscis after they expedited the i-130 on may 11. no review, no interview… even after the judge requested uscis to expedite the review. i see others get their green card so much faster. what could possibly be happening?! is it luck?! anyone else went through the same situation??

I-485 and my I-131 Refugee travel document
How long does it usually take to receive updates from USCIS after mailing my Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence) and Form I-131 (Refugee Travel Document)? Specifically, when should I expect to receive my receipt notices and the first case status update?

New update Aug 5!! hope this helps
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is clarifying that benefit requestors should establish eligibility for an immigration benefit at the time they file a benefit request. Generally, if a benefit requestor fails to demonstrate eligibility for a benefit or fails to provide all required initial evidence when filing an application, USCIS may deny their immigration benefit request without first issuing a Request for Evidence (RFE) or a Notice of Intent to Deny (NOID). USCIS form instructions specify all required initial evidence for every benefit request, giving requestors all the information needed to comply.
This policy better aligns USCIS procedures with long-standing Department of Homeland Security regulatory authority and form instructions, helps restore integrity to the immigration system, and makes it more difficult for aliens to file frivolous benefit requests.
This policy update amends the previous Biden-era policy, which encouraged officers to request evidence before denying a benefit request, even if the benefit requestor filed an incomplete application, failed to demonstrate eligibility for the benefit, or failed to provide the initial evidence that was clearly required at the time of filing. This prior policy allowed frivolous or substantially incomplete filings to slow USCIS processing for others waiting in line.
The Biden policy also enabled benefit requestors to exploit the system by filing “placeholder” applications to gain associated immigration benefits, like employment authorization, while they waited for a decision on their case.
USCIS has restored officers’ full discretion to deny a benefit request without first issuing an RFE or NOID in various situations. With this updated policy, USCIS can better allocate resources to efficiently make decisions and prevent meritless requests.
The policy is effective immediately and applies to requests pending or filed on or after Aug. 5, 2026, unless otherwise specified by regulations or USCIS policy.
