Case Processing
How long does it take for passport to be issued?
Hi guys, good morning! My husband had his interview on November 5, 2024. He got approved! Glory to God! 🙏 On the paper they gave him, it says that they will issue the visa within 10 working days. Is this accurate? By the way, your moment is coming! We waited over 2 years to be at this stage. Thanks for your help!
EB2 PERM Approved - PD Sep’22 Applied Oct’23
Got approved tonight.
My case fell outside of normal processing time at the NBC in August 2024 after I called USCIS. I submitted 1 request through my local congressman in September without success from USCIS (basically a all good and normal just wait) 2 requests by myself , one in August and one in September with the same message. I received the answer for the second request yesterday (negative) and submitted a request to the ombudsman office this morning but it does not matter now because tonight my case is approved.
Good luck to everyone still waiting, USCIS has proven that they don’t tackle cases in order they receive but use a stack instead so if you haven’t been approved within 6 months there’s no incentive for USCIS to approve you any time soon anymore as it will impact their median processing time.
Another pattern I have noticed through 30 datapoints at my company is that applying concurrently leads to faster approval time on average. I think it’s because cases will end up being transferred so it will basically put the application at the top of the pile at the service center.

Thank you Jesus the wait is over 🙏🏾
Thanks you Jesus, green card in hand after waiting for over 2 years 🙏🏾
had my interview, was nervous but it turned out good, we got a really nice interviewer…note to anyone scheduled for interview bring all correspondence that you received from uscis and the passport with the stamp when you entered the US, they asked me for that…didn’t have the letters but I had my old passport. questions she asked was
where and how we met
each others dob
our address
she asked my husband my kids name and asked him the second child’s dob
the letter I got was for my I-130 but we also did the interview for the I-485 and she told us on the spot that it was approved…if you have any questions that I didn’t address feel free to ask…and for those waiting long I pray your wait is not too much longer 🙏🏾
then it was just a conversation after asking if we wanted kids together, what we did for our last anniversary, our home town in ja cause she has relatives from there

Oath Ceremony
I had my Interview October 7th and the Agent told me I had passed the Civics Test and that he will recommend me for approval for the Oath Ceremony. I have noticed that some Applicants get their Appointment for the Ceremony within a few Days and as of today I have not received any Updates. It still says Scheduled for an Interview. Anyone else had that happen too?
Thank you
when scary time will over!
it is close for 4 years, I applied for vawa green card . case still pending and no any update and action. my vawa got approved on February 2024, uscis made lots of issues on whole my case, wrong contry of birth on my EAD took 10 months to fix it by involving Congrssman office, missing medical rfe , time clock was passed, again involving congressman office to find out missing rfe. now field office has my rfe , again no any update from them . Oh God my stress level is very high, when is going to be over.
Approved, but not sent to NVC yet
Both USCIS my I 797 and have said that my case was approved and "sent" to the NVC. I contacted the NVC and they said that they haven't received my case.
How long did it take for your case to be sent to and received by the NVC?

finally some good news
This entire process is just about having the right support systems around you to keep them positive affirmation for you to keep going forward. otherwise it’s beyond exhausting.
Took 6months after my embassy interview to finally get my approval.. 1year after my i130 was approved.. and 2yrs 5months after I started the process..
Find you the right support system & Hang in there all
