Case Processing
H-1B Sponsorship With an Expired Passport as an Asylum Applicant
I’m currently working in the U.S. and exploring employer-sponsored H-1B sponsorship. My passport has expired, and due to my current circumstances as an asylum applicant, I’m unable to renew it.
Would an expired passport prevent an employer from sponsoring me for an H-1B, particularly through a change of status from within the U.S.? Has anyone dealt with a similar situation?
Looking for information based on USCIS rules or personal experience. Thank you.

Did anyone get a second biometrics notice - I-485?
We filed our I-485 in Aug 2022, we then did biometrics in Oct 2022, got our I-765 and I-131 and then it retrogressed. Our case became current in April 2026, got rfe on Aug 12th, 2026, case updated to ‘RFE response received’ on Sep 16th. We got the same ‘RFE response received’ status again on Sep 23rd and then case status changed to ‘a notice was sent’ today. In the mail, we got a new biometrics appointment today. Did anyone get a second biometrics appointment like this?
Case requested USCIS to send notice - Last Update after I sent RFE (medical)
Filed EB4 I-485 back in Jan 2020, case was reopened in June 2026, and after responding to a medical RFE my status just changed to "Case Required USCIS To Send A Notice" as of Sep 25, 2026 — no detail on what kind. Anyone seen this happen at a similar stage on an EB4 case? Trying to get a read before the physical letter shows up.
Case Approved
Alhamdulillah it’s been a very long journey and today I got the good news. wish everyone success with their process, keep your head high!

initial review
Hi everyone,
I’m an asylee waiting for my I-485 (Adjustment of Status) to be processed.
Here is my timeline:
• I-485 filed/received: 12/06/2024
• Biometrics: 12/27/2024
• RFE issued: 02/21/2025
• RFE response received by USCIS: 04/09/2025
• No major updates since then.
Today, 09/25/2026, I received an email from USCIS saying:
“On September 25, 2026, we issued a notice for your Form I-485”
The case status still shows Initial Review
What do you guys think the notice could be? What should I expect?
Thanks!

I Still Can’t Believe I Have My Green Card 😭🙏🏾🇺🇸❤️
Hi everyone ❤️
I still can’t believe I have my green card. Every day I wake up and look at that green card like, wow, this is really mine 😂. After everything I went through and all the years I waited and prayed, sometimes it still doesn’t feel real.
I promised myself I’m going to use this blessing wisely. I’m going to school, I’m working on my future, and I’m preparing to join the U.S. Army and serve this country. I don’t want everything I went through to be for nothing. I want to make something good out of this opportunity God gave me.
And for everybody who is still waiting, please don’t lose hope. I know it’s easier to say that when you already have your approval, because when I was waiting, there were days I was tired too. Days I cried, prayed, got frustrated and wondered when my turn was going to come.
But God did not forget me, and He has not forgotten you either.
“For with God nothing shall be impossible.” Luke 1:37
“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” Psalm 30:5
I pray that everybody still waiting gets their good news. I pray God gives you the strength to keep going even when you feel tired of the process. Keep praying. Keep believing. Keep doing what you have to do.
I’m telling you, I still look at my green card like… God, You really did it. 😭🙏🏾❤️
All glory to God. 🇺🇸🙏🏾❤️
