How likely is it for marriage green card to be approved before 2026?

That said, our CR-1 just became an IR-1 because we've now been married two years. It's been 724 days since our priority date.  Everything had delays.  Original interview was in April. Had to do sputum testing which took 4 months. Now, after having been told she was approved, it's under Administrative review going on 50 days.  At this rate we'll make the Guinness  Book of World Records pretty soon.

Silver lining:  no ROC!

where's your field office? some office is faster than the other.

You've already been waiting 9 months. It's exceedingly unlikely that you'd still be waiting until 2026. 2024 is a safe bet.

Yeah I don't mind 2024. I hope that it's early 2024 though. We'll see.

I bet you’ll have it by the end of the year. But your case is already unusual as normally people receive EAD and no AP. So, there is the possibility your case is in the hands of a new officer who is about to seriously mess up your case because your file fell behind their desk… 

Anyway… IMO 2026 is just someone probably reading the average timelines for all marriage based AOS from your location  and not taking into consideration you’ve already waited 9 months

Exactly.
