I-485 / I-130 - Scheduled for Interview

[TwoSwifts 16]

Hello All,

 

I'm sure all of us who are "in-waiting" pay attention to the estimated times for acceptances, biometrics, interviews and the like. I know those are based on the most extreme case averages mostly. I'm not certain this would be any metric for anything, but my wife and I filed in early January of 2025, and we just got an update to both our I-485 and I-130 cases. Both elements have now had an interview scheduled for early July. We're excited that it seems the progress is much quicker than expected given we were originally told 15-18 months to even get an interview or potentially receive the GC. We understand that it could be some time after the interview before the GC is mailed, but we're thrilled this seems to be moving along rather reasonably. Is this time frame aligning with others in our same situation?

My wife already has her EAD, so that was adjudicated prior. The disappointment was that we filed an I-131 for Advanced Parole, and now it appears we may get the GC before the Advanced Parole is even approved. Only reason we did that was because we were told the Advanced Parole would most likely come before the GC. The downside there is the money spent for the form, to not even get the cost out of expenditure. All that matters to us is that we get some of this process behind us and can happily continue forward!! 😊🙏😎🎶
