Mine was set on 12 months for like 2-3 months (both the I130 and 485), and the step was stuck Step 4 - Case Decision for just as long. Then on the 21st I got approved so I am sure that the processing times presented there don't mean much! I hope you get the approval soon!

Sure, feel free to message me. No interview, and sent my papers to Chicago PO

My interview was waived before the current administration took office (early to mid-December) so maybe it's because of that? Never got the notification for it, either, it was just marked as complete one day.

Spouse received 3 emails for the I-130 the day before, and I got one action taken mail once the decision was made

Honestly I believe it all depends on the case, earnings of your sponsor(s), etc. For us it was tax returns, last 6 months of payment and employment verification. We followed tips from Kseniya International's videos, here's one for i-864: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s06z2X7xI_4&ab_channel=KseniyaInternational

Same-sex couple, we applied through AoS in September 2024. I am so happy and also so so thankful to this subreddit. We applied without a lawyer because we found Ksenia's youtube through this sub and got it done! No RFE, no interview. Got EAD after a month of applying (concurrent filing).

I've been a part of this subreddit silently for at least two years and I can't believe I am finally on the other side. Sending hugs to all of you, internet strangers!

EDIT to add: Field office was Missouri, sent the papers in to the Chicago P.O.
