CONGRATS !!! 

I also called to expedite yesterday (131), so far my case status changed from 'case received' to 'case was updated to show fingerprints were taken' so I am a bit stressed, let's see if they ask me for any evidence.

so happy that something is at least happening.

I think I said info appointment or something like that. I read it somewhere on Reddit and it worked. Hope this helps!

Had my interview yesterday it went well after waiting for 2 hours and 15 minutes we were called, sworn in and most if not all the eligibility questions where asked after a few random verification questions from my I485 form. We had an approve I130 so issues there.  She then told me she was gonna recommend for approval and I should get my GC in two weeks. That's 7 months and 15 days ( November 8, 2021 - June 23, 2022) for NYC Federal Plaza. I will not complain. I will encourage everyone to be patient you day is sooner than you think. I am so happy this leg of the journey is completed. Best to all!!!!

Hi CADT,,,

Have you got the approval online also for your I-485 ?

Was it Queens, Bronx or Manhattan ? Mine was Manhattan - NYC Federal Plaza. I had my interview on 7th June, my I-130 got approved following day on the 8th June but no update still on my I-485 😢

Ok thank you. Sorry if I misunderstood. All interviews for these 3 areas are at Federal Plaza building but on different floors. Anyway, please let me know when you also get the approval online.

Hopefully you will get it very soon!
