Case Processing
mistakes in i130, scared of denial
we submitted our i130 in January 2026 and realized a month later that the petitioner made a few mistakes on the form.
we sent a cover letter correcting our mistakes.
do you think we can be denied?
our mistakes:
Error 1 – Petitioner’s Parent Information (Page 3, Sections 24–35)
I mistakenly entered my wife’s parents’ information instead of my own. Please note that my mother is divorced and remarried, resulting in a legal name change.
Error 2 – Petitioner’s Address History (Page 2, Sections 13–15)
a few mistakes we made
Error 3 – Petitioner’s Employment Information (Page 4, Section 42)
Employer 1
My employment status should've been listed as student but I put a past job by mistake
Error 4 – Beneficiary’s Intended Address (Page 5, Other Address and Contact Information)
Section 12.a. should indicate “Same”, as the beneficiary intends to live with me but we left blank
Error 5 – Beneficiary’s Entry Information (Page 7, Section 46.a.)
The correct visa classification should be “B1/B2” rather than “UN – Unknown.” The beneficiary is a Canadian citizen who sees me on a visitor’s visa.
Derivative Asylee I-485 (any suggestion?)
All of us (my wife, the main applicant, my daughter and I) filed our I-485 application in March 2024, my wife got approved in January 2025 and daughter got approved in August 2025.......mine changed 4 months ago in April 2026 to "Case Is Ready to Be Scheduled for an Interview (Last system update was 119 days ago)......total time is 886 days with no decision......
A Senator expedite request was submitted 2 days ago due to urgent family medical reasons.
For anyone with a similar derivative asylum timeline, how long did your case stay on "Case Is Ready to Be Scheduled for an Interview" before you received a final decision or an interview waiver? how long did it take for your final approval?
thanks

Filed Mandamus... Government Wants Another 60 Days?
My I-485 has been pending for a little over 2 years. I finally got tired of waiting and hired a lawyer (paid a little over $3k) to file a writ of mandamus. Today is Day 58 since filing, and my attorney forwarded me an email from the government lawyer. They asked if we'd agree to give them another 60 days, saying USCIS intends to issue a decision during that time.
My attorney said it's pretty common for the government to ask for an extra 30 days, but asking for 60 days isn't something they see very often. They think USCIS might just be backed up.
I'm leaning toward agreeing since it sounds like at least they're finally working on my case.
Has anyone else gotten a 60-day extension request after filing mandamus?

Expedite Request
Hi everyone. I’m looking for some guidance from anyone who has successfully submitted an expedite request to USCIS for urgent humanitarian reasons, specifically for a pending waiver.
My case has already been pending for approximately 53 months since may 2022. Unfortunately, my family in Colombia has just been severely affected by the recent earthquake. My parents lost their home, other members of my family have also been affected, and one of my sisters is currently missing.
I am extremely worried and desperate to be with my family during this emergency. I would like to request expedited processing of my pending waiver based on urgent humanitarian circumstances.
Has anyone here gone through a similar situation involving a natural disaster or serious family emergency?
If so, could you please share how you submitted your expedite request, what evidence you provided, and whether you submitted it yourself, through an attorney, through USCIS, or with congressional assistance?
I would especially appreciate hearing from anyone who has successfully expedited a waiver or another USCIS case based on humanitarian reasons.
Thank you so much. Any guidance or personal experience would mean a lot to me right now.

Status date updated from 5/8 to 8/11 ("Currently Processing"), but PD isn't current yet?
Hi everyone,
My Priority Date is June 15, 2022, which is not current yet according to the Visa Bulletin.
Previously, my status was "USCIS is Currently Processing the case" as of May 8. Today (August 11), I received an email update, and when I logged in, the status text remained identical, but the date updated to today: "USCIS is Currently Processing the case" as of August 11.
I immediately panicked thinking it might be an RFE, but there is no update about an RFE, and nothing new has been uploaded to the "Documents" tab.
Has anyone experienced a date refresh like this when their PD isn't current?
Could this be a pre-adjudication?
Was it transferred to a Field Office (FO)?
Or did an officer just open/touch my file?
Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
i-765 automatically revoked
I've received an automatically revoked i-765 after receiving it in 2025. I booked a trip to visit Jamaica next month (Sept 2026) do you recommend that I cancel it? Should I be worried about the auto revolt?

USCIS case status suddenly changed to show that USCIS received correspondence and is reviewing it
Hi everyone. My VAWA case has been pending since April 2023. Yesterday, August 10, my USCIS case status suddenly changed to show that USCIS received correspondence and is reviewing it. I haven’t submitted or sent anything recently. Has anyone experienced something similar, and did you have a positive outcome afterward?
inquiry for time processing for AOS I-485
Hello,
I got a response from USCIS today for the inquiry I submitted a month ago and they said if I don’t receive a decision in 90 days to submit another inquiry.
my case is at Columbus field office and my PD 4/28/2023 , had my interview 2 years ago.
anyone knows how long will it take them to work on my case after they responded to the inquiry? or has the same experience?
