Case Processing
I-485 at Step 4 (Decision) after reopening – anyone similar?
Hi everyone,
My I-485 (family-based) was reopened after my removal proceedings were terminated. My case now shows Step 4 of 4: Case Decision, with an estimated 5 months, and it appears my interview was waived.
I also noticed internal events like H028 (case reopened) and FTA0 (file accessed), but no RFEs or documents posted.
Has anyone been in a similar situation?
• Interview waived
• Case reopened after court
• Already at decision stage
How long did it take for you to get a final decision?
Thanks in advance 🙏

AFTER INTERVIEW ORLANDO
AFTER INTERVIEW ORLANDO
My marriage-based interview was on March 14th at the Orlando Field Office. The officer told me I would get a response within 3 weeks, but it's been months now and I still haven't received any update. It's really frustrating to wait this long. Is anyone else experiencing such a delay?#orlando #interview
Case Ready to be Scheduled for Interview
Hi all
it’s been 61 days since my case was updated to be ‘case is ready to be scheduled for an interview’. I knew through a congressman that it’s in the Washington field office and it is been more than 30 days since last communication so my congressman sent already a follow up almost 2 weeks ago but still not received any response.
did anyone have any idea about this field office?
do anyone know how long this FO will take to process the next step knowing that is a non local office for me?
Any thoughts it’s been already a long wait for me (PD March 2023, RD July 2024, Biometrics September 2024, last update October 2025. current all the time, ROW)
Vawa, only one denial letter received for I485
Happy holidays!
I am completely devastated by my case and no longer have the energy to keep fighting.
USCIS sent an RFE back in July, but I never received it. I called multiple times and submitted three separate requests to obtain a copy, yet I never received any response. Eventually, my case was denied.
After the denial, I was waiting to receive both the I-360 and I-485 denial notices to understand the reason for the decision and file a motion to reopen. I have only 33 days to file the motion, and due to the holidays, shipping alone took 8 days.
I received only the I-485 notice, it appears that the I-360 notice is lost as well. At this point, I will not have enough time to request another copy and respond within the required timeframe.
I am extremely exhausted and overwhelmed by this situation. It feels like everything keeps going wrong, and I don’t know how much more I can take.
I140 pending time
Happy holidays!
my I140 is being pending for 8 month, almost 9. I applied for EB3 as a nurse in Nebraska center. Is anyone in same situation? how long it takes for it to get approved? should I file for premium process?
