May 2025 AOS Filers

[WCF 22]

Just to update, we had our Interview on July 2nd. It was a very pleasant experience and I enjoyed talking with the immigration officer.

We were approved on the spot and received the official "case approved" email the very next morning at 9 am.
It feels like a weight has been lifted and we are just waiting for the physical card so that we may travel internationally.
Good luck to all May filers!

Card was produced 😃 We got the notification pretty late, almost midnight lol, weird. No tracking number available though. I expect we'll get it delivered this or next week.

In the continental US you should have it in 3-4 days from the day it says card produced. It will come priority mail so if you have informed delivery, it will show up there as an inbound package. The tracking number likely will not show up on the online status until weeks after the card is delivered LOL That's what happened with Jaycel's EAD  Happy for you that it's produced! 🎉

It took about a week for me. Up to 2 weeks is reasonable time IMO

Yeah, I just got an email from USPS with the tracking number. In transit and expected delivery by the 14th, so your guess was right.

We also got notified that our I-765 case was closed due to another benefit (AOS approval). Not gonna complain that we kinda wasted $260 on nothing since we got the GC so fast but it still sucks 😅 At least we didn't apply for AP, I guess lol

[Twililord 36]

We got the GC early, came in the mail today 😄 It's a relief that this leg of the immigration journey is over, now my wife's life here can really begin haha. It's been almost exactly a year since I filed the I-129F, and I really appreciate all the help I've received from this community! See y'all around in 2 years for ROC!

Also how long does the SSN take to get delivered after EAD and/or AOS approval? I saw on Reddit that approved AOS applicants are still getting their SSNs, so I'm wondering how long we should wait until we make an appointment at the SSN office in case it doesn't end up getting sent to us.

Congrats!! I would say that if the SS Card doesn't arrive in 30 days, make an appointment to go in.

Found out yesterday that the post office lost my wife's green card. The "journey" never ends. 😂

[Keegan 24]

Update: green card approved on 7/28! Case updated to approved on 7/30. No tracking or card produced notification yet. 
 

We waited for over an hour past our app time. Officer was very kind, she mostly asked questions about my child (1.5) who was present. Asked how we met, if my husband was working. Asked about his family members. Despite all of my worries regarding the DS-3025 (not having box marked off on back, not having note of some required vaccines according to someone here on VisaJourney), nothing out of order was noticed and she approved us there.

Finished our interview at the USCIS Los Angeles field office in downtown LA earlier this morning. Scheduled for 10:00 a.m. / arrived around 9am

Very long line to get in the building, 20 minutes to get in. Went to another floor checked in there and waited a little over an hour.  I believe it was about 11:00 when we got interviewed.

 

The officer was nice and informal but direct. 

• He swore us in.
• Asked how long we were dating.
• When we met in person.
• What began our relationship. (Playing video games)
• He then asked the security questions, the ones you answer Yes or no
• Asked if we had any additional photos to add which we brought. He did not request any other documents.

 

• Overall, it was painless and wasn't unnerving at all. 
• The officer wanted to know more about my job (I work for the State) than asking about the application lol. My wife says that was 90% of the conversation and the rest of the 10% was the actual interview lol.

 

Verbally told my wife she was approved. Told us to expect Greencard in about 2 weeks.

Our officer verbally approved us and said that whatever they do in their system, there is a 24 hour delay until it shows up in our portal. Sure enough, a little more than 24 hours after we left our interview, we got our approval in the portal

Received M's green card yesterday in the mail. 

Her status did update to card produced but didn't give tracking number initially. I have USPS informed delivery and found it that way.

 

Tracking was created August 19th, mailed the 20th and arrived in mailbox on 21st 

 

Tennessee to Southern California

Jaycel's status still shows "Card Produced" with tracking number "UNAVAILABLE" and we received it on 8/1/2025 😆

Anyone else from May have no progress after biometrics? Both i765 and i485. Would be nice to talk to someone who is in same situation.
