@savolife G-28 on its own does not solve the problem with case processing. This form just notifies USCIS that a lawyer is now representing you. This may be helpful if you get RFE / interview etc. But does not speed up anything. Writ of Mandamus is one solution, and unless you do it yourself, going to cost several thousand dollars. If you end up hiring a lawyer, at least search the State Bar of <your state> directory to make sure they're real lawyer.

Notorious reputation of all Senators to be less responsive than congressmen’s staff.
And with both , you have to poke them once a week . ..so email first then call them . Don’t tell them u just did expedite or they will stop working on it and tell you to wait for USCIS to act ..just keep highlighting hardship to USC wife due to delay
 

Good you filed expedite . 
 
Not clear if you want feedback on the $600 G-28 .. but yes it sometimes also helps 

It's family-based, my wife filed for me and she's a U.S. citizen. I have reached out to a U.S. Senator, but haven't heard back in 6 weeks. 
 
I filed an expedited request for the second time 2 weeks ago, they haven't asked for any evidence. I'm willing to wait if the G-28 might do something. Thanks for your input

So you just submitted the 1040 and that’s it? Where’s the W2 that must go with it? Yes, the wife needs to sign the I-864A. 
 
You could have also updated your address by mailing the AR11 form if the online option was giving you trouble. This should have been done a long time ago, by law you’re supposed to report it within 10 days. Submit it with your RFE.

Green Card in hand! 
 

Wow that was fast. Congrats!!

I can entertain questions if you have any although I‘m not an expert. I’m keeping everyone in my prayers for faster processing! God is good. 🙏🏻

Hey guys! 
Our case just got approved on a Sunday! I hope you all get approval soon. 

Our AOS is approved yesterday February 1. The whole process took about 3.5 months. We submitted our case on October 21, 2022. 😊

I'm in the same boat and nothing has happened since November 9th.

Yes they asked. I told the guard I haven’t paid for my flight because I wanted to be sure about my biometrics. She spoke to the ASC manager and they let me in. 

Yeah the I-864 is a tricky one. I feel like I might get RFE too just because I had a joint sponsor. I got my receipts in the mail yesterday. Hopefully I get my biometric appointment soon. 

On the bright side, it looks your case is being worked on. I’d suggest you send them the RFE ASAP! What are the asking for?

Just an update guys 
 
Got a notification from lawfully app that my biometric appointment was scheduled on October 28th. So it’s only been 12 days in 😋 I’m excited!! 
 
Can I possibly ask Emma regarding my biometric appointment day? Otherwise I have to wait for the physical mail to come in.. 
My lawyer advised us not to register for an online account because that may cause uscis not to send notices to both the lawyer office and my address so I dont have access to the account to see any documents. 

Hi everyone,
 
10/20 - Filed I130 online 
10/20- AOS application sent to Phoenix lockbox via UPS
10/21 - Application received
10/27 - Money order cashed

Now waiting on the biometrics. Will the A number come with the receipt in the mail?

Congrats, your application processed very fast. I just submitted my I-130 online and rest by mail. Hoping to get similar processing time

Recently my wife and I found out that our AOS application was approved, and a short time later we received the permanent resident status card in the mail.   
 
Thank you to everyone on this forum for all the help you provided in the form of advice,  as a result we were able to submit a solid application and get approved in good time.
 
Looking forward to less stress in our life for the next few years.

We got married on 8/21 and I mailed our AOS on 8/23!  yahoo.  Relief.  
but now worried I did something wrong!  lol
