F2a Approved
Hi everyone! Just wanted to share an update on my case.
I just received a soft approval on my I-130! 🎉
I want to wish everyone who’s still waiting the very best—I truly hope you all receive your approvals soon.
Timeline:
* Priority Date: February 10, 2023
* I am from a country currently affected by the travel ban/pause.
* Everything started moving after I contacted my congressional representative and they submitted an inquiry on my behalf.
* July 1: Received my interview notice.
* July 9: Attended the interview at my local USCIS field office as the petitioner. I know this is not common for a consular case, I was surprised too
* July 18: I-130 approved (soft approval).
Don’t lose hope. I know how difficult the wait can be, but cases can still move forward. Wishing everyone the best, and I hope you all get good news very soon!
work permit renewal
Hey guys, I applied in July 2022 and am still waiting for my I-360 to be approved. I received a request for more info two years ago, good moral carácter. Last year, I received a notification that my I-495 had been transferred. I have received 2 prima facie so far; the second one expires next month. I submitted my Ead renewal last year. I have the extension till the end of February 2027. Has anybody done anything to speed this process? If so, what did you guys do? I have contacted USCIS, and they told me to reach back in July. Now they told me to check the processing times and that my work permit still shows as pending. The processing time indicates that I can submit an inquiry until November; if it keeps increasing, I might lose my job.
Any suggestions are well appreciated.
Vawa Case update
My VAWA green card interview was completed last year October 15,2025 at the Philadelphia field office and I didn't hear anything since then. I just got the update saying fingerprint was updated on your case. What does that mean? This process is draining especially with the whole shenanigans going on with the banned countries saga. Any advice or Anyone in this situation before should enlightened me

Hello everyone, I hope all of you are doing well both physically and mentally. I have an update on my I-485 application. I applied for VAWA in September 2021, and my VAWA was approved in September 2023. Two weeks ago, I received a mail for biometrics, and I went to get my fingerprints taken along with a photo. Yesterday, I received a notification in the app stating that the case was updated to show fingerprints were taken. My question, based on the experience of previous applicants, is what would be the next step—medical examination or interview? I have not submitted the medical exam since 2021.#vawa #i-485
I-485 APPROVED! F2A journey complete — full timeline (Cranbury, NJ) - AOS INDIA
It's official, approved! Wrapping up this series with the final post.
Quick context for anyone new here: F2A category, spouse of a green card holder, both of us originally from India, adjustment of status (AOS) since I was already in the US.
Full timeline:
I-130 filed: June 12, 2024
I-485 filed: September 5, 2024
Biometrics: October 2, 2024
I-765 (EAD) approved: October 4, 2024
I-131 (Advance Parole) approved: February 24, 2025
Interview: July 7, 2026, Cranbury NJ (New Jersey Central Field Office)
I-130 approved: July 7, 2026 (same day as interview)
FTA1 on I-485: July 7, 2026 (about 4-5 hours after interview)
Silent update (no new event, just updatedAt touched) on I-485: July 16, 2026, three times in one day
H008 (approval) on I-485: July 17, 2026, the very next day after those silent updates
I-485 Approval Notice dated: July 17, 2026
Total time from I-130 filing to full approval: just over 2 years.
One thing worth sharing for anyone obsessively refreshing the API like we were: the day before our approval, we saw three silent updates on the same day, meaning the updatedAt timestamp moved multiple times but no new event code showed up. At the time it was confusing, but looking back it lined up almost exactly with the case being finalized, since the actual H008 approval posted the very next day. So if you start seeing repeated same day silent updates after a stretch of nothing, that might be a good sign things are moving behind the scenes even before a new code appears.
Our FTA1 to H008 gap ended up being 10 days total, faster than most examples I found researching other people's cases (16-22 days seemed more typical).
We did not hire a lawyer. We prepared everything on our own, forms, evidence, interview prep, all of it. A big shout out to Kseniya from the Kseniya International YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@KseniyaInternational), her videos helped us a lot with understanding the forms and getting a sense of real interview experiences and petition details. We also leaned on other online resources and used AI to help organize our prep. The day before our interview, we did a mock interview with a former immigration officer through the Lawfully app, which helped calm our nerves and gave us a good feel for what to expect.

Huge thank you to this community, reading everyone's timelines and experiences genuinely helped us stay sane through the waiting. Hope our posts helped some of you too. Good luck to everyone still in the process, you've got this. 🙏

K1 Processing Slowdown
Does anyone have any idea why so few K1 visas have been processed over the past month? They were averaging at around 2,000-ish approvals per month when we submitted earlier this spring, then June was 980, and July just passed 100 and we’re 2/3 of the way through the month. Percentage approved hasn’t changed much, so it appears like they just aren’t processing applications at the same speed as before. I thought maybe the World Cup was part of it but wanted to know if anyone else has heard what’s going on. I keep praying that God gives us our approval quickly so we can finally start our life together!
