Congrats!! Wishing you all the best for the interview It's good news, things are finally moving for Seattle.
 
When is your interview?

We're still waiting (Seattle as well)
 
I saw another VJ user from Seattle updated their timeline recently for an interview next month, but they submitted their I 485 like 24-25 months ago.   So we probably have another 6-7 months to go.

I don't know about you, but not everyone has the financial means to be able to travel and go explore
I'd love to go and do things on my own, but my husband is our only source of income, we live in Seattle and it's very, very expensive. (We're paying 1.5k$ a month for a studio) I didn't choose to be in such an expensive area, and honestly I wanna move out to another state because this is very stressful and I can't even work yet.
 
Even though most of us do have hobbies, I think it comes down to the routine of having a job, a social life because of said job, and being out and about because you feel like you're actually doing something and contributing to society. 
 
We can only do so much volunteering, and spending time on our hobbies before it gets old real fast... Especially when you've been used to being completely independent financially for so long and have to rely solely on someone else to get by.
 
I'm not being mean by any means, but everyone experiences things differently! Everyone has their own struggles and there's more than one way to deal with it than one blanket solution

Received my EAD in the mail today! Hopefully my SS card will come soon as well.
 
I don't expect to get any news for the Green Card interview any time soon, but being able to work will definitely keep me busy until then!

That’s great!  We haven’t had any update since August. Our congressman made an inquiry but the response was that our applications are within the normal processing time. I guess there is nothing much we can do other than wait but good to know that you got an update. Happy new year! 

No news on our EAD but at least we know now that our RFE response was good enough!

Still waiting for any news. I called for a 3rd time to make a 3rd inquiry. She said that our entire file is still at the NBC (since August ~ we filed in June) and it hasn't been assigned to anyone.... Neither have any of the inquiries. This entire process has been so discouraging ~ all because of one part of my husband's birth certificate...

Merry Christmas, June filers. Thanks for being on this journey with me. Got home tonight after a few days visiting my in-laws and my social security card was waiting in the mailbox. USPS tracker says green card will be delivered on Friday. Best Christmas present ever 💙

My I-485 and I-130 cases were approved today!!!! 1 month and 9 days since the interview in Los Angeles! I got a text notification while cooking breakfast this morning and checked the old website to confirm the approval. An amazing gift before the holidays, my husband and I are so relieved. Now no more applications until ROC/Citizenship. Thank you for everyone on here for all the support! And good luck to those still waiting on decisions, interview dates, and EAD/APs.

Also, anyone whose local office is Los Angeles, feel free to reach out with any questions!

Please update when you get the interview notice. im seattle filer also (PD April). thanks

The case status updated yesterday (Dec 20th) to show that his 485 was approved. Yay!!
 
We are now just patiently waiting for it to be updated to show that the card is being produced and is on its way. 
 
It's been a long journey but we finally made it! 

@Joyoussinger Yay! So happy for you
 
My husband got his EAD/AP card in the mail today! Now we're just hoping to get the interview letter before the holiday. 

Congratulations 🎊🎉

The interview is over and my husband was approved! It was an extremely positive, even fun,  experience. The IO was very upbeat and gregarious.  I'll write a review, and elaborate in a while. 

My case just changed to "New card is being produced" for my EAD! I'm happy to get some good news before the end of the year. Time will fly much faster now that I can work while waiting for my interview!
 
I hope that everyone who hasn't got an update yet on their case will get approved soon as well!
