Started this journey in 2022 (PWD) . It’s been a long wait, especially after spending the whole year waiting for file I-485.
My 485 was sent to the Kansas City FO at large batch transfer (12/23/2025) and then transferred back to the Dallas FO (4/23/2026) for interview. After 106 days finally approved and waiting for the physical card now.
I would say it’s always darkest before the dawn. Don’t blame yourself too hard, it is all about PROCESS. It’s been an incredibly difficult and exhausting journey, but you’re going to make it. And You’ll cross that finish line. ❤️

Interview Done,everything was fine thanks to god 🙏🏻 🇸🇻
Everything went well!!
Everything went well. First, they had me raise my right hand and take an oath. Then they asked me questions like my name, address, age, the date I first entered the country, where I entered, and whether I was inspected upon entry; after that, there was a whole bunch of yes-or-no questions. These were the security questions that appear on the I-485 application. Since I don't have a bad record or any DUIs, I answered "no" to about 90–95% of the questions. He was marking off each question as he asked it; the lawyer told me that sometimes they don't ask every single required question and skip a few, and in this case, he did skip some.
I struggled a little to understand a couple of questions because of his accent—it sounded African—but whenever I asked him to repeat a question, he did so without any problem; he was a nice guy.
Since the lawyer who accompanied me handles Special Immigrant Juvenile Status appointments, the officials already know lawyers like her; he would ask her questions and they would chat, which helped calm me down a bit.
In the end, he said I would receive a decision by mail, though he didn't know exactly when I'd get it because he had a heavy workload. Now, all that's left is to wait for the decision.
The lawyer said that the moment I receive the approval, I’ll officially be a resident and can start working again, even if the card hasn't arrived yet. Since my work permit is expired, she said she would look into whether I could keep working with that permit (I had applied for the permit at the same time as the residency), though I don't think so—Trump got rid of the automatic extension policy, unlike under Biden. To get in, I needed the interview appointment letter and my ID; we went through X-ray screening and then to a window where they took my photo and gave me a ticket with a number, and finally, the man who interviewed us called us over.
TODO SALIÓ BIEN!!
Todo salió bien. Primero me hicieron levantar la mano derecha y jurar. Después me hicieron preguntas cómo ni nombre,dirección,edad,fecha que entré al país por primera vez,donde fue, si fui inspeccionado al entrar al país,y después un montón de preguntas de si o no. Fueron preguntas de seguridad que aparecen en la aplicación i485. Cómo no tengo mal récord ni Dui dirá que el 90-95 de preguntas que hizo respondí que no. Cada pregunta que me hacía la iba marcando y pues me dijo la abogada que hay unos que no hacen todas las preguntas que tienen que hacer y se saltan algunas y en este caso se saltó algunas.
Me costó un poquito entenderle en un par de preguntas por el acento de el que es cómo de África pero cuando le pedía que me repitiera la pregunta me la repetía sin problema y pues buena onda el hombre
Cómo la abogada que fue conmigo se encarga de citas de visa juvenil cómo que ya los conocen ellos a los abogados y pues el le hacía preguntas a ella y se ponían a hablar y eso me calmó un poco
Y pues al final dijo que iba a recibir una decisión por correo solo que no sabía cuando la iba a poder recibir yo porque el tenía mucho trabajo que hacer y pues ahora solo toca esperar la decisión
Dijo la abogada que desde el momento que reciba la aprobación ya sería residente y que ya podía trabajar de nuevo aunque no me haya llegado la tarjeta todavia.Cómo mi permiso está vencido me dijo que iba a averiguar si yo podría seguir trabajando con el permiso(yo apliqué para el permiso junto con la residencia) aunque no creo porque lo de la extensión trump la quitó y no era cómo con biden Para entrar necesité la carta con la cita de la entrevista y mi id,después pasamos por los rayos x y después nos pasaron a una ventanilla donde me tomaron una foto y me dieron un ticket con un número y después nos llamó el hombre que nos entrevistó

My c31 ead expires sept 29 and its been over a year since I submitted medical and almost 2 years since my vawa was approved. I was told by my HR this week that I will be removed from the schedule after the 29th. Am so stressed out, I was trying to get an expedited request for my ead renewal but it seems the lawyers office is moving slow. When I call them about the 5th of Sept it wasn't submitted yet and seems like they wanted to reprimand me for sending an email and putting everyone on it that I was expecting a call back about the documents I submitted for evidence to see if it will help the expedited request. I still was not notified if expedite request was sent. I previously asked about mandamus and they said i was still within processing time smh. I dnt know what else to do.
I’ve done my interview since august 14,2025 still waiting case saying currently processing. I believe my God going to grant me favor for those who still waiting just remember God still working🙏🏾

APPROVAL
I-485/I-30 APPROVED! 🎉💚
We’ve been married for about a year and only knew each other for a few months before getting married.
Our timeline:
June 1 — I-485 received
June 13 — Biometrics scheduled
June 29 — Biometrics completed
August 6 — Interview scheduled
September 10 — Interview completed
September 15 — CASE APPROVED! 🎉
Our interview was very easy. The officer was friendly and joked with us. He didn’t ask any relationship questions or even look through the huge binder of evidence we brought. He told us our I-130 was approved and that he just had a few internal things to finish on the I-485.
Five days after our interview, our I-485 was approved! The whole I-485 process took about 3½ months. 💚🇺🇸
How are people with later PDs getting interviews?
Hi everyone,
Been seeing a lot of posts on different forums that people with PD of even july end are getting interview invite already. current FAD is april 2022.
Also, there was a BDV post that someone from Nepal got approved with PD of May 2026.
Is this a positive news? Do they not have inventory left from 1st quater of 2022 now? If that’s the case we might see a big jump in both FAD and Filing date this Oct bulletin. Looks like its moving fast as people are getting their GC months after applying for AOS.
share your thoughts.
LA Field OFfice- still waiting!!!
Hello,
Anyone else still waiting for approval after submitting a medical RFE to the LA Field Office?
I’m EB-3 Unskilled, PD 11/11/21. My medical RFE was issued on Aug 11, I submitted it on Aug 25, and it was marked as received on Sep 1. Still waiting for approval.
I’ve seen several similar cases get approved already. Is anyone else in the same boat? Any idea why some cases are taking longer after the medical RFE?
case have been approved finally, my turn !
just found that my case was approved 5 days ago, but the status on lawfully app hasn’t changed. The app seems not reliable as expected.
So I recommend you to check the official website from time to time.
my employer is going to fire me by the end of this month, because I always complain about the work culture and low salary. we are like slaves tied with status and other workmates are submissive like sheep. I really don’t like this employer.
I haven’t had any unskilled job offer right now.
Is there anything that would impact my citizenship?
Deferred Action for SIJS, work permit!
Deferred Action for SIJS . My case was approved in april 2025 . i did not received my DA or EAD , is there anything i can do . i have to pay hefty fee because i didn’t leave my student status yet. Also on my approval letter it says its conditional approval only.
