Hi! On July 30, 2026, USCIS updated my case from F2A to IR1/CR1, but they haven't approved it yet. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for the case to be approved? I'm outside the United States.

It has been more than 3 years and am thinking to expedite my case but I don’t have too much knowledge about this. I contacted the USCIS already and asked them about it but the information was not so much. If someone knows about the process please comment below.

our I 130 was approved 2 weeks a go, after a week they send me a call in letter to go and sign adjustment of status form have anyone ever went through this? please Help.

Is there anyone that submitted RFE medical and have been waiting for more than 60 days with no update? It has been 65 days for my case...Cincinnati field office Just wondering if they already reviewed applications and only need medical to give final decision or do they need medical and then start to review applications?

what’s going on??

When was the last time an sijs green card case was approved? I don’t think I’ve seen a single approval in the past two months. Are they only approving religious workers, or what’s going on?

Advance Parole was approved. I’m wondering why they just not approve my Green Card? I do not want to usted the AP

final decision after submitting the RFE

Hi everyone, I wanna share my timeline and hopefully got your opinion. we submitted the AOS on 2024 with I-130 and I-485. we got the interview on 4/30/2026. on August 12th, I got the approval of I-130. Then, I got the RFE of Form I-864 ( Financial support). However, we did bring to the interview and they scanned but they asked for that again. Anyway, I did submit on August 13th. Now I am waiting for the final decision. Do you guy know when I can get the decision? my FO is in Dallas Tx.
