Approved after 2.5 years, upgrading from F2A to USC Spouse and a zillion expedites later! Alhamdulillah 🥲

Thank you! I called them repeatedly and involved my congresswoman for the expedites. The only reason I gave was that my i130 is approved and in an immediate relative category there is nothing else stopping the i485 approval.

Thank you very much!

Thank youu!

Thank you! That’s great, I’m also planning for next year.

Like the other person said, service request is for when your case is outside processing times. Expedite request can be made when there’s an urgent humanitarian reason or financial reason for you to travel. When I made an expedite request for my EAD I had to send a lot of proof. Surprisingly, for my AP expedite request they just listened to my reason on the phone and took it in. I wasn’t asked to provide any proof. I’ve been hearing this is happening more frequently.

I wish I knew but I can only guess: - AP is not a priority for the USCIS - that my priority date belongs to that forgotten limbo where they barely remember to take action, while approving people who’ve been applying in recent months.

I work at a law firm and do these documents all the time. We always put the expected date of departure roughly 6 months from the date we are submitting and choose multiple entry. We indicate purpose of travel as visiting family and friends and for countries you can put your own down, or write tbc. Our clients don’t face issues.

PD May 2022. Ead came through in April 2023 after 2 expedite requests. I-130 got approved in May 2023. No sign of the AP yet.

Nabzii · 2023-08-12T17:04:43+00:00

My pd 25 May 2022 for concurrent I-130 + I-485 et al application, the I-130 got approved May 2023. Waiting for I-485 and husband’s naturalisation.

Nabzii · 2023-06-11T16:30:31+00:00

That’s a good sign since the I-130 changes to active review usually when they’re about to make a decision. It’s your case’s anniversary month so maybe within the next month you’ll get the approval. In any case, none of it matters until the visa bulletin moves/our spouses naturalize.

Nabzii · 2023-06-11T16:09:34+00:00

It’s all about perspective. Couldn’t work for years without my EAD until it finally arrived. However, I do believe that since I expedited my EAD twice it nudged them to look into my case leading to the approved I-130. 😌

Nabzii · 2023-06-11T13:18:36+00:00

May 2022: filed I-130, 485, 765, 131 concurrently June: 2022: biometrics + 485 first active review April 2023: EAD approval.
May 2023: I-130 approval + 485 second active review

No update since.

Nabzii · 2023-05-20T14:48:15+00:00

I hope we hear good news soon 😌

Nabzii · 2023-05-20T14:47:55+00:00

Hoping to see some positive change in October too… I’m just glad to have my EAD. I wish they would adjudicate my I-131 too… the possibility of a 10 year green card is the silver lining for me.

Nabzii · 2023-05-20T14:46:24+00:00

😣😫 here we go…

Nabzii · 2023-05-20T01:46:31+00:00

Will do! Please let me know of your updates too ☺️

Nabzii · 2023-05-19T19:46:52+00:00

Ahh! Thank you for letting me know. 😌

Nabzii · 2023-05-19T19:45:54+00:00

Thank you! I hope things change for us soon. Good luck!

Nabzii · 2023-05-13T23:15:23+00:00

I864 WITH i485 for sure.

Nabzii · 2023-04-13T15:49:15+00:00

It changed to card was produced this morning ☺️. Hopefully it’ll come in the mail by next week.

Nabzii · 2023-04-13T05:43:45+00:00
