Just wanted to update here. Yesterday my AOS is approved. status updated to Case Approved. just waiting on the card arrival now.
Thank you everyone. Timeline is below. didn't include I-130 because we have our I-130 approval back in 2019. when my wife was PR.S
She became a citizen on 03/15/2022 and we filed 485.

AOS (485-765-131) Filed: 04/04/2022

765 and 131 approved: 01/13/2023

combo card arrived 01/21/2023

I-485 interview scheduled: 03/30/2023

interview date: 04/27/2023

Actively Reviewed: 08/12/2023

Approval: 11/19/2023

guys hello, I have an update on Aug 12th. status changed to "actively reviewed" 3.5 months after the interview.. how much longer? and what that means?

So yesterday we completed our interview.. was very smooth and easy.. took finger prints and photo.. asked my passport, medical and couple of questions about security.. 10min max.. 

he said he will go thru the file in the next 2 weeks and make decision.. 

I heard from 2 different lawyer that if the officer takes your finger print on spot meaning you are approved.. is that right?

 Selam, honestly I don’t have the right answer for you but you can try to upload notarized translations.. they usually require notarized documents in US.

July 2022 filer here with Atlanta FO. I got one. See

It’s not same but legit. You should respond immediately. Most likely they waive the interview and approve your green card. That’s what I heard from 2 lawyers

Saw a few posts informing of said courtesy mail this weekend. Not sure which office, but seems it was an email sent en masse.

I think this is a new era.. people keep getting emails about medical requests and marital evidences by email. Just to speed up the process

Did anyone receive an email courtesy notice about medical today? Especially newark FO?

When your AOS was denied you were out of status.  I assume it has been several years since that first denial and the other denials?

 

This is a complicated case.  Your current AOS gives you authorized stay.  Your I-131 was approved and therefore you should be able to travel and return.  My concern is what the system at CBP states about your status.  If you are flagged for X days of overstay, they may give you a hard time.  Or they may see the pending AOS and let you in.

 

The above is moot if you don't plan to travel until your current AOS is processed.  

I was planning to travel but prior situations I had stopped me to avoid re-entry ban.. juat scared id say

That is odd, obviously I 601a's are not always approved but pretty unusual, especially with a Lawyer involved.

 

Begs the question how you know there are not any proceedings against you.

I mean they usually send you a letter if you have any proceedings against you or inform you somehow. + I paid $20 to check my background on instantcheckmate.com nothing shows..

Did you do a FOIA?

 

Why was your waiver not approved.

They said there is not enough evidence for extreme hardship

No why? My attorney didn’t even mention it?

Hello,

it's complicated here but any suggestion appreciated..

I came to States under J1 (2 years rule waived) 09/15/2012 - Changed the status to F1.. while on F1, my wife's employer sponsored us for Green Card. She was on E1. 
Her status approved to PR but I got denied because didn't maintaine the F1 status for a week or so.. because I forgot to pay school fees and the school removed me from Sevis.

after couple of motion applications and re-applications I kept denied. so we decided to apply for 601A along with the I130. I130 approved no interview but 601A got denied.

Now my wife became a US citizen and I applied for AOS again on 04/04/2022 with my consular approved I130. 
On 01/13/23 I have my AP approved. didn't used it for travel still waiting.. no rfe or interview request since then.. 
what are my chance to be approved for AOS. no criminal record or anything.. no deportation letter.. it's been a year since I applied again, people keep getting rfe's for medical but I didn't receive anything yet.

Hi everyone!

 

I have a question regarding the advanced parole document.  At the end of May 2021, I applied for adjustment of status (I-130/I-485/I-765) for an immediately family member who had been in the U.S on an overstayed B-2 visa. 
 

A week ago, we received the EAD, which happened pretty fast thankfully! 
 

When we were initially applying, we had no intent of traveling so we didn’t apply for an advanced parole. But in case they don’t get the green card by June 2022, we would potentially like to travel abroad and see some friends/family. Our field office is running 12-16 months for an interview, hence the optimism. 
 

My question is: could we apply for an advanced parole document for the beneficiary? If so, would they have any issues reentering the US since they overstayed a B-2 visa? Or would the AOS not make this a concern? 

Did you get the green card? please update thank you 🙏🏽 

Just wanted to update here that I received my Combo card today 🙏🏽

I didn’t create online account and now it’s too late to create one.. 

i just want to update here guys my EAD just approved today “card being produced”

284 days later.. hopefully it’s AP! Thank God!

what happens if a petitioner becomes a US citizen. i hve a question. my wife was a green card holder when we filed I130 to be used for consular interview and approved after 2.5 years. by the time she became a US citizen. and I'm currently in the US to AOS. can I still use that I130 approval for AOS.?

I-131 Advanced Parole approved today! Just got a notification from Case Tracker saying it was approved! Not sure if it was because of an expedite or if it was just normal processing. Hope this means everyone will get theirs soon as well!🥳

Hey Carlos, congratulations. Did you send a fax for your expedite request? Cos I also requested expedite for my advance parole on Dec 6th and received an email saying that I need to send proofs on Dec 27th. After I faxed the documents on same day no news since then..and is it 2 years AP or 1?

This is insane seriously! 245 days and nothing.. I’ll place the expedite request for my 131 let’s see.. Everyone does the same thing and like 80% approved.. the rest just keep waiting..

I filed in April 2022.

 

Biometrics in May.

 

Heard nothing since. My Uscis says they are "actively reviewing" and "nothing is outstanding"

 

26th October I requested ( via Emma live chat ) an expedite and was given a ref number. Been checking MyUscis daily but nothing on there to indicate Expedite request.

 

Those of you who asked for expedite - how fast was the request noted on your MyUscis ?

 

Re the expedite - I asked for it for my EAD but I was wondering - when an applicant asks for an expedite, is it just the EAD they consider expediting or the AOS itself ?

It’s just for ur ead not aos.. no update since April 4th..

Wow! Still no update on April applicants? Huh
