[bonbon243 0]

Hi!!

I am glad i found this site.

I really was getting anxious about my I 485 case. Now that i read posts and comments, i am a little bit relieved. 

I am not sure how I can post my process timing about my case in here. Do i need to start a new topic or reply to this post to a comment?

But here it is 

AOS+AP+EAD mailed to Chicago IL

Package sent on 11/06/2017

NOA: 11/09/2017

BOMETRICS accepted : 11/15/2017

EAD/AP BEING PRODUCED :02/16/2018

EAD/AP RECEIVED:02/24/2018

we forgot to file a tax or sponsor paper so they requested for evidence.

Last update from them was 

RFE USCIS RECEIVED on 01/17/2018  (is this where i am supposed to start the countdown?)

Our National Benefits Center office will begin working on your case again. We will mail you a decision or notify you if we need something from you

My EAD is about to expire, so i am in a process to renew.

We don't know in what office our case Is and We are still waiting on the interview date. 

I was reading the comments and noticed that i have to redo my medical exam again.

Fingers crossed for you - just a matter of time. I doubt there can be that much disparity in back log between Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Thanks! Yeah let's see. As you well know, it's been an agonizing wait, and my wife can't wait for me to take her to visit Australia. We'll have to keep patient I reckon

I hear you - I'd been hoping to make it home to the UK for Christmas but unfortunately won't be the case. It'll be worth it in the end. Keep us updated!

😩

 

If you don't mind my asking, were there any issues during your process that resulted in the long wait? Or is it really just an 18 month wait now in Manhattan?

No issues at all. No RFE. To my knowledge, this is the new standard (at least I haven't been given reason to believe otherwise).

Hey guys, how much time went by between you getting the text/online notice saying your interview had been scheduled and you getting the notice in the mail with a date?

For me it was about 8 days

I went to interview on Dec. 3, and got the 'case under review, waiting for further notice' sheet as we were the last couple that day, all interviews were backed up that day and our interview only lasted 15-20 mins - passing 5pm that night - so the Officer just asked us some basic questions and collect all the additional supporting documents we prepared. The officer did say that our case is 99.9% chance to be approved.

 

So we waited the entire week - as of last night (Saturday, 12/8) my case status still didn't change - and now, Sunday (12/7) at 11:10pm, I was just refreshing the webpage and saw my status changed to 'Case Was Approved on Dec. 7th'. Not sure why the webpage was updated on Sunday, but we're very happy of the result!

 

My case receipt date (PD) is 12/14/2017, so it's almost a year that we got approved. Actually a lot faster than I expected knowing how backed-up USCIS has been! I filed in Queens and got interviewed in Manhattan. Looks like the New York Office is moving forward.

 

Good luck to all of you who're still waiting!!
