I-765 was approved today, saw in online portal.

 

I-485, still being reviewed.

 

 

AOS submitted end Nov and biometrics done end of Dec.

Received work authorization card and SSN shortly after this post.

 

Contacted a live agent earlier this week via chat and asked "if my case has been reccomended for interview?"

 

Agent notified me that my interview has been marked as waived.

 

Online portal still says "Case is Being Actively Reviewed by USCIS"

 

Not sure what to make of this, but hopefully a speedier GC approval!

 

Anyone have experience with this?

Looks like some filers from the group thread of September are getting approved without interview! Lets see, but not going to get too excited...

I see most people getting interview waived a lot recently. Maybe that might be your case. Figures crossed 🤞

Hi Nov 21 filers.

 

Have any of you seen movement on form I-131 Advanced Parole?

 

I'm getting impatient....

Update on my case: I had my interview about 3 months ago but haven't received an update. Our attorney says it's a bit unusual since our interview went well, but nevertheless it can still take up to 120 to get a decision. We'll hit 120 says soon so hopefully we have some update by then. On the plus side we were able to get the combo card through expedite request! I already had work authorization, but the AP part is great to have. I'll be traveling to CDMX next week!

 

AOS Timeline.

Same, haven't gotten anything on Advanced Parole. Not so Advanced anymore...

We got our EAD but it wasn't a combo card.

Hey everyone, is there any movement for anyone regarding the i-485? Is there anyone else here in Virginia using the Norfolk office?

 

For those who got their interview waived, did you say specific wording to the live chat or did you just check one day and your case was updated?

We're November filers and just had something strange happen.

• Had our interview in June - our interpreter didn't show.  The interviewer decided that a hastily-arranged substitute didn't meet his standards and the interview was canceled, with a follow-up NOA indicating that it would be rescheduled.
• Have heard nothing from the USCIS on the application or new interview date, but in the meantime a family situation almost requires us to travel back to Thailand (we didn't apply for AP with the AOS submission).
• Last week we submitted the AP application with the hopes that we could have it expedited after it is received.
• Today we received two separate NOA's for the I-485.  The first one notifies us of a rescheduled AOS interview mid-October.  The second one cancels the same interview.  The Notice Date on both is the same.

It seems that these NOA's arrived too quickly to be related to the AP filing - the Notice Date is about 4 business days after I mailed the I-131.  But I can't imagine a scenario where an interview would be scheduled and then canceled on the same day.

Have you received any notices on yours? My husband is still waiting, I contacted "Ask Emma" yesterday to see if any updates could be provided, but the live agent said there is no time frame.

We are in the same boat, they been silent on our case. My field office is so slow.

Got an RFE this morning for marriage certificate. 

Had filed this with the application originally, but going to resend it later today.

 

It says I can either mail it in for scan and upload the information online, if applicable. When I log into my USCIS account it has a section to upload docs. Will do some research on this forum to see what is best action.
