1018 days waiting now
Would you guys consider a family based I-485 (filed conjoined with I-131, I-765, and I-130) pending over 1018 days outside of normal processing times? Our priority date is July 21st, 2023. Orlando Field Office. I submitted a service request stating the above, and they told me it’s still within normal processing times. My I-130 was approved over a year ago, 5 year travel permit and 5 year work permit approved years before that. Our interview was July 2024. 10+ congressional emails to them and they keep finding ways to stall and continue “processing” my case. Already had to submit a new medical which was accepted and the last email they responded to, was from our congressman, saying I need a new background check (been already past 60 days as well). This is my 4th or 5th background check. No criminal history, we have a U.S. born son, and we’ve been married for over 4 years with a plethora of proof that was submitted. Joint taxes, phone records, house, bills, bank statement, the absolute perfect case on paper. They’ve previously mentioned to the congressman that I am in the final adjudication process months ago, and then would do a full 180 and find new things to request or put me back into processing. I already filed to the ombudsman office, but they process my sort of case on a least priority basis. Wondering if I should consider Writ of Mandamus at this point.. #I-485 #Writofmandamus ​

EB2-NIW I-140 Approved!
Sharing my timeline for anyone in the wait! Background: MA in Chemistry, 3rd year PhD candidate in Computational Chemistry 4 journal papers, 1 conference paper, 29 citations at filing 2 dependent letters, served as peer reviewer Timeline: Filed: June 26, 2025 Upgraded to Premium: March 4, 2026 Approved without RFE: April 29, 2026 Nebraska Service Center — 40 business days from premium upgrade I had no idea where to start with NIW so I worked with Chen Immigration Law. They were patient, cooperative, and we went through multiple rounds of edits until the petition was just right. Re-read your petition and ask yourself, "Does this truly tell my story and explain why the waiver makes sense?" A well-crafted petition makes all the difference. Happy to answer any questions. Wishing everyone a speedy approval!

I-751 divorce waiver — anyone self-filed without an attorney? (already filed joint)
Has anyone here successfully filed an I-751 divorce waiver without an attorney? I’m planning to switch my case from a joint filing to a divorce waiver, but I’m a student and I can’t really afford a lawyer. I’m just trying to see if people have gone through this process on their own. For context, I filed my I-751 jointly in Oct 2025 while still legally married. We lived together from Dec 2023 to Nov 2025. However, we separated in May 2025, and I stayed in South Korea for about 5 months before returning to the U.S. On paper, we were still married during that time, but we were already separated in real life. I’m mainly looking for experiences from people who filed a divorce waiver without an attorney and how their process went.
