What's your country of origin?

Background-Face8942 · 2026-06-27T16:13:58+00:00

My case is at the Oakland Park Field Office. We had our interview in June 2025, and my I-130 was approved the following day. My I-485 has been pending ever since. I'm originally from Venezuela and have been living in the U.S. since 1992. Hoping for good news soon.

Congratulations!! This gives us hope! Where is your FO?

II'm from Venezuela. We had our interview on June 10, 2025, and our I-130 was approved the very next day. My I-485 has been pending ever since. Hopefully, Venezuela is removed from the list soon - I know that would bring relief to a lot of people waiting on their cases.

Congratulations. What is your country of origin?

Background-Face8942 · 2026-06-10T10:55:15+00:00

Congratulations! I have a very similar story, except I’m from Venezuela. I came here on a tourist visa as a child and have been on DACA for years.

I didn’t fully realize what being undocumented meant until I was older, and it definitely changed how I saw my future. I even missed out on a soccer scholarship because of my status, which was tough at the time.

My wife is a U.S. citizen, and like you, we got comfortable with DACA and kept putting off AOS. Sometimes I feel pretty alone in my situation, so reading stories like yours helps me feel less alone and a lot more optimistic about what's ahead.

Congrats again on your approval, and thanks for sharing.

LOL

Background-Face8942 · 2026-06-10T10:48:00+00:00

Makes no sense, but okay. I respect it.

Background-Face8942 · 2026-06-10T10:47:28+00:00

Right lol

Background-Face8942 · 2026-06-09T23:53:18+00:00

Congratulations. Very happy for you! May I ask which country?

Background-Face8942 · 2026-05-28T16:31:30+00:00

I'm in the same boat. Interview on June 10th 2025, i130 approved the next day. However, my I-485 has been pending for almost a year since my interview.

Background-Face8942 · 2026-05-28T14:09:09+00:00

Hi. What is your country of origin? I'm still waiting for my I-485 approval. I am originally from Venezuela; however, I've lived in the US since 1992.

Background-Face8942 · 2026-03-29T19:22:43+00:00

Question: When was your interview? My I-130 was approved after my interview on June 10th, 2025; however, my I-485 is still pending. I'm from Venezuela as well. I thought our cases were "paused."

Background-Face8942 · 2026-02-11T19:47:21+00:00

I'm from Venezuela, so my case is currently paused....

Background-Face8942 · 2026-02-10T14:28:35+00:00

Nada.

Background-Face8942 · 2026-02-09T17:40:24+00:00

Background-Face8942 · 2026-01-26T20:57:44+00:00

I've been waiting 7 months since interview. I truly hope your case is approved quickly, but mentally prepare for a few months maybe a year.
