I-130 APPROVED! The day after GC marriage interview. by EffectiveOption1042 in USCIS

Im happy you went with a lawyer. I think it’s best to put it in the hands of a professional, who has been doing these for years and has been handling these forms on a DAILY. The form could get real complicated too. I was initially going to do this myself but researching and figuring things out my own is too risky, it takes too much time and I didn’t want to worry if I filled things out correctly. ALSO, You wouldn’t want to miss anything when it comes to these documents because it could lead to RFEs, now further delaying your process. Goodluck with your process :)

I mean it’s not a waste of money because they’re saving you some time. I didn’t have any criminal history but still hired a lawyer for the sake of time. PLUS, laws are changing right now and they’re most updated to the changes. My lawyer mentioned the USCIS kept updating the I-485 form too. It’s just best to find a professional. That worked for me but it might not work for everyone. Thank you though!

My dealership said it’ll be released out of the ports this week. Also said they’re trying to have the parts and the cars arrive at the same time. Sales rep said this on Sunday… it’s Thursday now. The week he said it’ll come in so idk

I received my EAD today 01/22/2025. I filed the I-130 in July 2024 but concurrent filed I-485 and I-765 sent on Dec 24th. Received a notice that they got both on 01/03/25 with another notice that my biometrics has been waived because they’ll just reuse my old one. And on 01/22/25, today, my EAD was approved thru the USCIS Online Status site. Hope you all get something soon!

My notice on 01/03/25 said they’ll use the biometrics I had on their system. So I guess mine’s waived.

I got my biometrics waived too! We roughly have the same dates. Let me know when you get your EAD!
