I received an email saying there was an update for my case...only there was no update! Emma confirmed that nothing has changed. I don't really understand how we pay so much for shoddy service. Any other business would have gone under ages ago.

 

The wait continues...

Update: at 4:30pm I got an update from Lawfully that the i485 was approved! Finally!!!

Location: Jacksonville, FL

Good luck to the rest of you!

Current processing estimate for I-485 at Jacksonville FL is 21 months -- https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

 

If your case has been pending for less than that, then it is within normal processing time, nothing to escalate.  If pending for more than 21 months, you may file a USCIS case inquiry for "Out of Normal Processing Time".

 

Haha thank you for providing this. It is just comical at this point.

Still no word on our GC. We filed originally over a year ago and received the combo card a few months ago. Is there some sort of escalation for the GC? This seems excessive. Being processed in Jacksonville, FL fwiw

Finally got a notification yesterday that our combo card is approved! Still waiting on tracking info and the actual mail with that information. It only says for EAD on USCIS, but the letter says combo card.

No word on our green card application, still waiting on an interview date.

So from my understanding reading through multiple threads...

If my spouse (1) does not have an ITIN or (2) SSN yet after filing our adjustment of status from K1 (485 & 765), then I should file for an extension as a single filer and amend to family filer before October when we have one of the two numbers (hopefully SSN for stimulus).

Is that correct? This is all so confusing to me, and apologies that I'm probably asking a question being asked before. Waiting until the last minute to do taxes here...

Hi July filers, just checked my uscis account, and it now says "Concurrent Filing" for EAD and AP. I figured they were anyway as filed together, but to me this means one of two things:

1. They are finally working on our applications 

OR

2. They just updated the website

Anybody else see the same?

Since you applied at the same time for both EAD and AP you’re most likely to get a combo card. So they won’t be issuing AP separately, combo card means AP+EAD

Not the answer I wanted, but it's the answer I expected. Thank you! Hopefully these are processed by the VJ estimated dates

I'm a little turned around here so any help would be greatly appreciated. We are anxiously waiting for our AP doc and now think we may be getting a combo card with EAD. Will they issue the AP before receiving the combo card or do we have to wait for the EAD to process as well?

So I checked my account yesterday and we received an RFE for things that we have sent (in line with other people) but maybe not scanned in correctly. Much too my surprise, when I opened the letter I got today, we got a biometrics date of 10/6!

The bio date isn't in our USCIS account. I didn't realize you could get a date if you received an RFE.

Am i the only july filer yet to get biometrics appointment 😭

Nope! Me too. I think we got our NOA on July 17th or so. (twiddling thumbs)

I received an email letting me know a letter was on its way for the biometrics appointment. They uploaded a digital version of the letter that's in the mail so I was able to read it online before it arrives here. 

Awesome! When is the appointment date?

Joining! We did the combo packet.

Application sent: 7/14

Application delivered: 7/15

NOA: 7/18 (text)

Check Cashed: 7/20

The timelines seem crazy right now, certainly not the 3-5 months quoted. I'm hoping that my wife's 131 will be approved before early December as I have had an international trip planned for over a year (who knew it would take THIS long!).

Congratulations to both of you. May i know when did you join and how long did it took from the moment atty filed that Round 3 case to the time the judge approved the motion. Thanks and Goodluck to you both

Thank you! You too!

I believe we joined early February, the filed mid to late February, judge ruled at the end of the month, nvc moved fairly quickly once the embassy informed them, then upon arrival we were contacted by the embassy within days that they were working on scheduling the appt. It took about a week to get the date. As you can imagine, ymmv

May i know how much it cost you to join Round 3

Hi! It was $2,000 to join. Fwiw, after the judge approved the motion we got added to the case and our application has moved to the embassy and we received an interview date this week.

+1 Thank you for the info J&YUSCN

Wow. Really happy I got in Round 3, but hopefully they'll be able to win the motion for unilateral processing for anyone who didn't join the lawsuit. The government will not cease to amaze me at this point...

Same here! Still haven't heard anything...but I just joined the Milligan v Pompeo Round 3 and am anxiously waiting for that filing to get things going.

Still waiting here for the embassy in the UK to start accepting the documents from NVC. The unknown of embassy reopening/resuming visa processing times is very grating. Doing our best to hang in there

I'm right there with you. We're losing our patience here especially with yet another lockdown. 

Just called the NVC again to confirm we've done everything on our side to get our application sent to the embassy. This proclamation needs to be lifted. What the most confusing thing is, my fiancee is happy to go to sunny Mexico for 2 weeks after being approved - we just need the embassy to accept and process them!!

Also confused how Milligan v pompeo can only apply to those that joined the lawsuit. Can we just get a new one going?

I called today and they said that they are in fact processing visas again, however, they are only working on student visas for the next 3 weeks. There is no rush for them right now.

When I spoke to the NVC yesterday they said that the embassy was closed, and they weren't sending anything over. I am going to call them again to get that package sent over!!!
