Hello everyone,
My timeline:
March 29, 2021 - I 130 filed (Nebraska)
April 20, 2021 - case being actively reviewed by USCIS for I 130
July 9, 2021 - I 131, I 765 and I 485 filed
September 27, 2021 - Medical documents submitted to USCIS for I 485
December 7, 2021 - finger peints given
December 8, 2021 - case is being actively reviewed by USCIS for I 485
After 1 year-I 765 AND I 131 approved on june 3, 2021
On june 10, 2022- EAD/ADVANCE PAROLE Combo card received.
Oct 1, 2022 file e request for case outside normal processing time for I 130 as it was now pending for 18 months!!!!
Oct 14, 2022 received an email from USCIS saying basically they are sorry for the delay and there is nothing else i can do except wait.
Oct 28, 2022 suddenly recieved an email on case status change and when i logged in it shows that "case closed" for I 765 AND i 131. This confused me as i already had those applications approved about 5 months ago in june 2022. When i searched on forums i saw that it means nothing. At some point USCIS closes those cases that were approved.
Two days later i.e. today oct 30, 2022- i just check my staus and it shows " case approved" for I 485 and approval notice will be sent.
Funny thing is I didnt get an interview. Also, my I 130 is still showing "case is being actively reviewed by USCIS."
MY Questions to all you wonderful people are:
1. What does this mean? Am i done with this endless wait? Or i will still have to go for interview? Or i will still have to wait for I 130 APPROVAL which shows being actively reviewed?
2. If i am done with everything then how long does it take to get the actual green card?
3. Will i get conditional green card (2 years) or 10 year green card? (Marriage was in May 2020= >2.5 years)
Any guidance will be heavily appreciated. Thank you in advance.
It has been a long long long wait for me of almost 19 months since I 130.
