Hi guys, I just received my Green Card today. Interview was indeed waived.

You're welcome! You're lucky you've made friends there! Been here for more than a year and I only had a friend. Hahah There you go! A lot of people also told me to do vlogging, but I hate seeing myself in a video nor a whole body picture so it was a no for me. 😂😂😂 I'll subscribe! I hope you'll receive some good news about your case soon.

18.5 months for Raleigh. I know some places have higher estimated times. I just actually started working last July. There are times when I was really, really so frustrated that I just can't help but cry. It was struggle for me because I am not used with not working and having the freedom to go wherever I want and having my own money to buy things that I like. In my case, I can't even drive so I felt like I was stuck in our home whenever my husband is at work. And we don't have a proper public transportation where I live. You might've read/heard this before but find a hobby that you like or watch some things to past by times. Avoid social media if you can (because in my case, there were a lot of times that I felt sad that my case is not progressing whenever I read someone got their combo card or GC in less than 6 months). Or if you want, you can ask your senator/state rep for help regarding your case. (I've seen a friend that did this, she filed this year, got her combo card and GC within 4 months). I just don't know what are the reasons they stated. I never tried this route because I don't really have any reason to expedite/ask for help.

Thank you! I understand the frustration. I got my combo card 9 months after filing. Then my I485 is approved 1 year and 1 month after filing. My timeline's pretty long too because Raleigh's office is either slow or has a lot of backlogs.

Thank you! Will I receive another change in status like Card is Being Produced or something to track my green card? It has been 1 year and 1 month since NOA1 for this approval.

Hi guys, just updating my case again. My I-485 status is now "Case is Approved". Does this mean they waived the interview? Thanks!

Thanks !

Hi guys, just want to post an update. After almost 9 months, my EAD is finally approved and card is being produced. I think it is also a combo card since I saw the Combo approval document in my USCIS account. Is that correct? Also how many days have you waited until you received the card? Thanks.

Thank you. It is very disheartening sometimes. We even tried to expedite but nothing happened.

Congrats to all thosw having their interview scheduled and EADs approved. I hope I won't be the last one to receive anything in this forum. 🥲

Me. I did my bio last Nov. FO is Raleigh, NC. Idh EAD yet too.
