I-130 approved but radio silence on I-485
I am a physician who went through the J1-H1B (waiver) process and have now applied for Green Card through my American citizen spouse.
Timeline:
I-130 and I-485 submitted: January 14, 2026
Biometrics some time in March
Interview with spouse: May 18, 2026
I-130 approval: June 26, 2026.
Since then I have heard nothing about the I-485 (last time there was an update was May 28). Anyone that is going through the same situation or has gone through the same situation that could give me an idea of how much longer we will wait? Field office is Jacksonville, FL. #
Add Newborn Child as Derivative Beneficiary – Form I-130
I am a lawful permanent resident and I filed Form I-130 for my wife under the F2A category. The petition is still pending. After filing the I-130, my wife and I had a daughter who was born recently. Can my newborn daughter be added as a derivative beneficiary to my wife’s pending F2A petition? If yes, what documents and procedure should I follow, and is there any USCIS filing fee?
Can she be recognized/added as a derivative beneficiary of my wife’s existing F2A petition?”

Case was approved
PTL! After submitting our I-693 and job offer letter on August 31, we saw the 'RFE Received' status on September 15—and the very next day, our whole family’s green cards were approved at lightning speed! Just in time for the new fiscal year, ending our 4-year wait. We fully understand the feeling of helplessness and uncertainty along the way, but the Lord heard our prayers and spared us from further waiting. May God show His mercy to all of you who are still waiting, and we pray you receive your green cards soon!
Cincinati Ohio
Is anyone has there case in Cincinati Ohio? Or know anyone who got GC from this field office? I sent my rfe in june 24 and never heard back anything. I have fedex tracking says its delivered. I file a case inquiry and its been 3 weeks already and no response either.
Anyone here waiting this long after sending the medical rfe?
Asylum grant date 01/2023 vs. I-94 date 10/2024 — which date matters for I-485/WOM?
Hello everyone,
I wanted to ask this before, but I was holding myself back. Now I’m considering filing a mandamus because my I-485 has been pending for a long time.
My timeline:
• Asylum application (I-589): filed 03/2017
• Asylum interview: 10/2020
• My asylum approval notice was received in 10/2024.
• However, the approval notice says: “As of 01/2023, you have been granted asylum in the United States pursuant to Section 208…”
• My I-94 shows 10/2024.
• I filed my I-485 in 11/2024.
• My I-485 is still pending.
My question is: What is my official asylum approval/grant date — 01/2023 or 10/2024?
I’m asking because I’m considering filing a mandamus (WOM) in federal court. I’m concerned that if USCIS or the government looks at my I-94 date of 10/2024, they might argue that my asylum-based I-485 has only been pending since after that date.
On the other hand, my actual asylum approval notice specifically says that I was granted asylum as of 01/2023.
Has anyone had a similar situation where the asylum approval notice has one date but the I-94 shows a later date?
For a mandamus case, which date would generally be relevant, and does the I-94 date change the effective asylum grant date?
Thank you in advance for any information or experiences you can share.

Officer looked my case but didn’t send any RFE like Medical (coz my medical expired).
What might be the reason?
Or is it preparation for interview?
Have you guys had an experience?

Por que la herramienta de La entrevista No se está avanzando
Empeze a consultase esta herramienta oficial del NVC desde hace 3 meses y sigue estando en Feb-2024 para mi que soy de la categoría de F2A esposo de un Resiendente, siento que está muy estancado o es un error de la página, por qué de ser así, tendré que durar más de 2 años más 1 año que tengo después de haber sido documentalmente aprovado (DC) sin contar que tuve que esperar 37 meses para que USCIS aprobara mi caso.
I-485 Based on Granted Asylum – 685 Days and Still Waiting
Hi everyone
I’m wondering if anyone is in a similar situation.
I filed my I-485 based on a granted asylum case about 685 days ago, and I’m still waiting for a decision.
I filed at NYC
My timeline:
* Asylum granted by Immigration Judge: August 2024
* I-485 filed: November 2024
* Biometrics: December 4, 2024
* RFE: None
* Since the biometrics update, there have been absolutely no updates on my case.
* Current status: Case Is Being Actively Reviewed / fingerprints applied (depending on how it displays in the system)
I contacted a USCIS live agent online today to ask where my case is currently being processed. They told me:
“The case is at the National Benefits Center. Your case is processing normally and nothing further is required from you at this time.”
So apparently my case is still at NBC.
It has now been 685 days since I filed, and the wait has honestly been very long and frustrating.
Is anyone else in a similar situation, especially those who filed around October–December 2024?
Are your cases also still at NBC with no RFE and no updates since biometrics?
I’d really appreciate it if you could share your timeline, especially your filing date, biometrics date, current office, and whether you’ve received any updates.
Thanks!
