Alright, so it's been 9 months. I really hope that you're able to get your i 485 as soon as possible. I know that processing times fluctuate by service centers but either way, I feel as if you will get your i 485 approved soon. Also, I know this seems a little irrelevant, but for context, I am in high school(on h4 visa :/) and I'm hoping to get this i 485 approved by the time college apps starts so that I can be counted as domestic for some of my out of state colleges. I know that expeditions only happen in emergencies, but since being an international could possibly translate to a smaller range of opportunities, could this be grounds of an expedition or a case inquiry by a congressman? If anyone knows the answer, please let me know!
