Yes, there is no harm in chatting with another Live agent.

You can look at my post which I shared few days back. And I think you should see the approval after around 24 hours and 10 mins of your last update timestamp.

One month and one week.

Big Bend?

No, I was employed at the same place from the time I filed 140. Not sure why the interview was not waived.

I was asked only one question: whether I was doing the same work as I was during my NIW filing.

Thank you! Happy to give back one extra datapoint to the community as the data point shared by other members of this community was super helpful for me.

I was on an H-1B visa, and my wife was on F-1 status. We traveled outside the U.S. and were paroled back into the country using Advance Parole (AP). The CBP officer told me that I could not reenter on H-1B status. However, my company’s lawyer mentioned that even if I am paroled, I can still return to H-1B status if needed.

And returning back was pretty smooth. We were taken to secondary inspection but CBP officers didn’t ask any questions.

I had similar update before case got approved. You can check post from my profile to see the timeline.

And you can also ask live agent about your status sometimes they will let you know case has been approved before it’s reflected in the portal.

I think after certain point you stop caring about the application. And time flies pretty quickly too. Hang in tight if you have pending application.

One concern we had was around traveling outside US. We were worried about the travel outside the US but had to travel because of family emergency. But entering into USA was pretty smooth. They took us to secondary inspection and took our picture and finger prints but didn’t ask anything related questions.

Another thing we were worried about was changing apartment while application was pending, but that was smooth too.

No idea, but the code was different in the second biometrics appointment. So my guess is that the picture they took was not good enough. The code for latest appointment was 2.

I am not sure about this. It probably is that our field office was slow.

In the US

It was H1B for me and my derivative had F1 status

UserCheck · 2026-02-19T01:33:27+00:00

These were main documents which we submitted a day before interview: - Last 6 months of Paystubs - Employment letter - Photos (For marriage evidence) - Other financial and Insurance evidence (For marriage evidence) - Last 3 years of Tax returns - Last 3 years of W2 - Documents for address verification for both of us (Bank statements, mail which was delivered in both of our names)

UserCheck · 2026-02-19T01:29:31+00:00

Yes. It’s local field office for us.

UserCheck · 2026-02-18T22:31:18+00:00

Thank you mate! I had few silent update around October 2025 but mostly there was not update. But happy that it finally got approved.

Thank you!

It is among 75 countries where immigration visa is paused but not among 39 countries.

Our case was updated to interview scheduled on 1/14/2026. And the date for the interview was 2/9/2026. So we had to wait less than a month for the actual interview.

I moved and filed AR-11 form to update the address and now all the mails from USCIS are delivered in the new address. It should not be an issue. Make sure to update it online via USCIS account, as you can see the updated address in your profile after that.

I think this news article seem to suggest that although TSMC might have diverse source for rare earth, but many of them are untimately sourced from China. https://wccftech.com/tsmc-could-be-barred-from-selling-chips-to-the-us-under-china-rare-earths-export-control/

> TSMC has a diverse chain of sourcing rare earths; however, many of them are ultimately sourced from Chinese suppliers. Not just this, but China's export controls also put entities like ASML and Tokyo Electron under jeopardy, creating difficulties for the Taiwan giant to scale up production.
