I filed my I-485 in July 2025 and had my biometrics appointment in August. My wife, however, was never scheduled for biometrics.
Now, after roughly 450 days of waiting, we received a notice saying that USCIS is reusing her previous biometrics from another case and has started processing them.
There have also been a lot of silent updates on my case throughout this whole time. At one point, it was transferred from NBC to the Field Office, and later it was sent back to NBC.
So I’m curious what you guys think. Is it a positive sign that they’re finally working on my wife’s biometrics, or is this just a routine update that doesn’t really indicate anything?
I’m the primary applicant.

changing sponsors after interview
hello everyone . I am reaching out to you all because I am extremely concerned about my pending EB-3 unskilled green card case and would sincerely appreciate your guidance.
My wife and I attended our interview approximately one year ago, and our case remains under review. I have been continuously working for my sponsoring employer,
for approximately four years. I have never changed my sponsor and have continued working for the employer throughout this process.
Approximately three months ago, a fraud detection officer came to my workplace while I was working and interviewed me for about one hour. She asked detailed questions about my employment, including how I obtained my job and the nature of my work. She also requested that I provide my W-2s and pay stubs by email. At that time, I was working approximately 25 to 30 hours per week. I have documentation supporting my employment, including W-2s and pay stubs.
Recently, I learned that my sponsoring employer may reportedly be under investigation for possible immigration-related fraud. I have also heard that some employees have left the company after obtaining their green cards. In addition, I know of a friend who works at the same store and was going through a similar immigration process whose application was recently denied. Naturally, this has caused me significant concern about my own case.
I want to emphasize that my employment has been genuine and have consistently maintained employment. I am prepared to provide any documentation necessary to demonstrate the authenticity of my employment.
My wife is included in my immigration case as my dependent, and we also have a 10-month-old child who is a U.S. citizen. Because my family's future is directly affected by this case, I want to make sure that I take the appropriate steps and do not unintentionally jeopardize our immigration status.
Could you please advise me on the following:
Should I continue working for my current sponsoring employer while my EB-3 case remains pending?I want to avoid this field office since this field office is investigating our sponsor for fraud.
Would changing employers be possible at this stage, and if so, how could it affect my pending case?
Does the reported investigation involving my employer create any particular risk for my case, even though my employment has been genuine and continuous?
Is there anything I should do now to protect my case, such as gathering additional employment records or other evidence.
I have worked hard and followed the immigration process for many years, and this situation has caused me considerable stress. I would be very grateful for your professional guidance on what I should do next and whether there are any immediate steps I should take.
Thank you very much guys for taking the time to review my situation. I sincerely appreciate you all for the help and advice.
Need suggestions!! Let me get some tips if you have been through this same situation
Feb 2022 PD, BDV client here. I recently received my RFE by mail, and it’s asking for everything—new medical, Supplement J/bonafide job, employment verification, pay stubs, W-2s, 1040, employment verification letter, etc.
I’ve already contacted BDV, but I’ve heard they can sometimes take a while to respond, especially with the new attorney situation.
For anyone who has been in a similar situation, how did you handle your RFE? Did you send everything through BDV/lawyer, they prepare everything and send it to uscis or did you prepare and submit it yourself? Would really appreciate hearing your experience. 🙏

I-485.
Mi i-130 fue aprobada en Octubre, 2025, despues de ir a entrevista en Agosto, 2025… Ahora, Tengo mi segunda entrevista en tres semanas, en Tampa, para la i-485 (llene formularios por separado). Alguien ha asistido a una segunda entrevista? o que tal les ha ido en esa oficina?.. que puedes recomendarme a mi, y a mi esposo? mi inglés es bueno, pero no tan fluido (lo pienso un poquito) y llevaré a una conocida como intérprete, aunque no lo necesite en la primera entrevista, quiero estar más tranquila, que recomendación me das para ella? 🙏
traveling internationally with expired green card but with Form I-797 extension and a valid passport has anyone had any problems? would you recommend traveling?
I’m not sure and wanted to hear your guys opinions whether it’s safe to travel now or to wait, and if you did travel internationally did you have any issues?
Service Request
In 2024, I filed my C09 work permit renewal in a timely manner(2 years ago). Thus, I received a 540 day extension which expires this coming week. I contacted USCIS about it and they admitted that my petition was far outside of the processing time(which is 12 months), and filed a service request to assign it to an officer. Has anyone experienced this same type of delay? And if you filed a service request, to what extent did that speed up the approval/decision time?
