Case Processing
Anyone w/ a similar situation?
Hey everybody! So just looking for a rough timeline of when I might expect my case to be approved. PD is Dec 12th, 2022 and w/ the Sept. bulletin at Dec 15th my PD is finally current! I was just wondering if anyone had a similar situation to mine and what their timeline looked like. Thank you in advance! :)

Address
My priority date is now current, and my pending adjustment of case remains at the field office in my previous state. I moved to a different state to work for my employer a couple of years ago and didn't update my address, though I explained this during my previous interview there when the officer asked about my residence and told the officer that I live in the employer state and kept the old address due to more permanent/reliable address as my fam lives there. I wonder if I update my address with USCIS now, could it trigger a case transfer to my local field office, and does that increase the likelihood of being called for a second interview here…
Approved I-485 RW
Now is my turn to help all of you on this grup. All we have a long journey to finish successfully. This app and all of you it was big support for me and received a lot of information how to direct my case. Don’t discourage be patient and request to USCIS to review your case. I drew they attention to my case and finally they worked on my case. Your time it will come soon don’t give up. God is good. Let me know if you have any questions.
I wish you the best luck to everyone!

update on my 485 today, need insight
so I applied as the widow of a US citizen. my 360 was filled and approved separately. they have my physical exam form and biometrics was done 6/24/26. the same day there were 3 different FTA0 updates for the background checks. ( highly unique first last names, there's only one person with that name combo). today there was another background check update that they have received results from my background check updates, also marked FTA0 .
is this a good thing, are they looking at my file? Louisville field office, interview likely waived like it happens with most i360 widow filers.
Oath Ceremony done. N-400
Today, my immigration journey officially came to an end.
After 7 years — from filing my I-129F in 2019 to finally completing my N-400, I can proudly say that I am officially a U.S. citizen!
A chapter has officially closed, and a new one begins.
To everyone still waiting: I wish you all the very best. Remember, delay isn’t denial. Keep the faith, stay patient, and most importantly, don’t give up. Your day will come!
case moved to field office
Has anyone gone through a similar situation? I changed my address on USCIS site on Aug 27. Then, the next day I chatted with a live agent who told me my i485 application was transferred from NBC to Dallas Field office on Aug 24 and was last reviewed on Aug 25. I’m worried that this change of address will further delay my case as it will require my case to be transferred again to the field office of my new address.

USCIS classified my 8-year-old stepdaughter as “ADULT CHILD OF USC” on I-130 receipt — has anyone seen this?
I'm a U.S. citizen and filed separate I-130 petitions for my wife and my minor stepdaughter.
My stepdaughter was born in January 2017 and was 8 years old when her I-130 was accepted by USCIS in April 2025.
I recently noticed something strange on her I-797C Receipt Notice. Her date of birth is listed correctly as 01/05/2017, but under “Preference Classification” it says “ADULT CHILD OF USC.”
I'm trying to figure out whether anyone else has experienced something similar:
Have you had the wrong preference classification printed on an I-130 receipt?
Was it only an error on the I-797C, or was the case actually classified incorrectly in USCIS's system?
If USCIS corrected it, did your original I-130 continue processing under the same receipt/filing date?
How long did USCIS take to respond to the typographical-error request?
The thing that reassures me somewhat is that USCIS has her correct 2017 DOB on the same notice, so the notice itself clearly shows that she was a minor when the petition was filed.
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has dealt with a similar I-130 classification error.
Green Card approval.
I am here sharing our journey just trying to help someone who maybe lost the hope. It’s not easy, but hold on to God because He is the only One that turns the impossible to possible. Our PD was 2/22 Nebraska SC, Religious Worker. In 2023 they Denied my Green Card, because they said I lost a biometric appointment, but I didn’t, I went with my husband same day same time. They lost my biometrics and had to filed 2 appeals proving that I was in my biometric appointment. They denied the first one and accepted the second one. More than a year past and I lost my permission to work. In 2025 in August they sent to me a request for evidence, medical only, 1 month later they sent to my husband to. In August 4th this year we received a message “Card Produced” and August 12 “Card Sent” . My husband received the card and approval letter at home. Mine never arrived. I tried to call, send messages looking for a tracking number, and discovered with EMMA agent, they delivered my Card in a wrong address, and if I couldn’t get my card I had to wait for 8months to receive another one. I went to this address that we never heard, and finally got my card. I don’t know what happened and why, but I wish and pray God bless all of you and your families, and if this is really important to you, don’t give up because if God brought us to this place He will be with us all the time.
Updating family information on Form I-140
I have a clarifying question regarding an RFE I am responding to. I made an error on my original Form I-140, and USCIS has asked me to submit a corrected form.
Since filing my original EB-2 NIW petition, I have had another child. Should I include my new child’s information on the corrected Form I-140 that I will resubmit to USCIS, and address this update in the cover letter accompanying my RFE response?
