I-485 approved !! on 4/13/23, No interview. Hoping for good news for everyone else here soon!

Its incredible how similar our timelines are and I'm feeling the same way as you 

Good question and hard to say...I do feel that, pre-covid, I had some legitimate reasons to expedite such as my fiancé living in Venezuela in the midst of a humanitarian crisis, my own medical conditions, my mental health, etc. I never pursued it since the embassy stated that they would only approve “life and death” emergency cases right now. Although, requesting an expedite is free and won’t harm you if they say no so it’s worth a shot if you feel you have a chance. 
 
I ended up on the phone with the NVC for over 2 hours (mostly on hold) but they did tell me repeatedly that my case was expedited and they just received word of it yesterday. They said going forward I need to direct all questions to the embassy and bid me farewell. It sounds like my petition will be en route to the embassy very soon. I will definitely continue to keep you all posted with how the interview goes and what we experience 💕

Yep, we are still at the NVC. They stopped sending petitions to the embassy right when we got approved. I think we should be pretty close to the front of the line so I am just anxiously awaiting the status change from CEAC!
 
Who knows how long it is going to take for them to catch up, but it is hopeful to see that they processed so many K1s for January. We gotta just keep pushing through day by day

So I had called about this and forgot to update my thread. The representative told me that it is likely a clerical error and it's not worth fixing formally, because the representative said that it cannot affect the application going forward.

This isnt a political thread.

Please take the political discussions to the CEST forums. We all have our own opinions on the past and present administrations but this thread is meant to encourage and update each other. Not to antagonize each other.

Can I share somethings with you that I learned long ago about this process?

    • "the man with the gold makes the rules"
    • it will take as long as it will take 
    • no one with any certainty can tell you when some process will be completed
    • Your sense of urgency will never be equaled to what USCIS, NVC or your embassy demonstrates
    • Your journey is not going to mirror someone else's experience - yours and theirs are not the same
    • They only promised you a YES or NO answer. Never an exact time that their decision would be completed
    • Lowering your expectations will make you a much more relaxed individual

Good luck on your journey 
 

thank you thank you thank you!
