Hi everybody,

 

Just wanted to share some good news and ask a quick question.

My wife (the beneficiary) and I (US citizen) filed her I-130 and I-485 concurrently in September, had the interview at the San Diego field office last week and just received the notice online that our case was approved! Does anybody have any idea how long it usually takes between being approved and receiving the actual greencard in the mail? I have included our timeline below, and yes, we were as surprised as anyone that our process moved so quickly.

 

9/4/2018 - I-485, I-130, I-131, I-765 RECEIVED Date

9/10/2018 - NOA notice date for all forms

9/14/2018 - NOA notice date for ASC Appointment (Biometrics) for I-485 and I-765

10/3/2018 - Biometrics appointment

10/11/2018 - Case status changed to "ready to schedule your Form I485...for an interview"

10/17/2018 - NOA notice date for "Request for Applicant to Appear for Initial Interview"

11/28/2018 - Interview at the San Diego field office completed and USCIS officer recommended approval

12/7/2018 - Online case status changed to Approved: "On December 6, 2018, we approved your form I-130/I-485..."

As a cat and dog lover I'm sorry to ear that :( 

I lost my sister a few weeks after my wedding and it was the worst day of my life, but I was glad to be with my wife, she was a great support and thanks to skype I could stay connected with my parents during these horrible times.

 

Hope to get my Green Card or at least EAD/AP soon so I can visit them. My local office processing times range from 6.5 to 20.5 months so I'm hopeful the process won't be that long.

I’m so sorry for your loss... losing loved ones so close to us, and so soon after a happy day is so hard... I really hope you can get it fast... I hope our APs at least will come somewhere in a month

Thank you.

 

I was on the process to expedite my AP when my first application was rejected. I tried to expedite again but they told me that even the situation was serious, the extreme emergency wasn't justified anymore, and denied it. I'll go when I will be able to, I don't want to spend too much energy and get more stress by fighting with them.

Hi everyone!

I don’t know if something broke at Seattle office, but on Saturday morning my case status changed to “Interview was scheduled”. I’m not sure if it’s true, because at USCIS site it says 11 to 25 months. So just waiting for the mail to come (or not to come). Quite stressed. I hope everyone is doing well.
