GC finally in the mail, happy and relieved. Some time to relax.
Wish everyone a speedy and smooth completion of I485.👍🍀
 

We've already gathered the requested documents and are mailing it out today. I did a Google search and this specific RFE has been issued many times before to other people. And after they responded to the RFE, a few weeks later their cases were approved.
 
So we'll just send this out and I'll report back when we hear from them again.

I and my wife have been nervous regarding this process as we had been asked for an RFIE for her birth certificate (the same one we used to get her in the country was not enough information for the 485) and were concerned this would lead to a rejection.
 
Got word on Monday night her card was printed and yesterday official confirmation her case was approved.
 
Here's the timeline from USCIS:
 
February 27, 2024 Case Was Approved February 26, 2024 We ordered your new card. January 31, 2024 We received your response for Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. December 27, 2023 We sent a request for initial evidence for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. December 21, 2023 The fingerprints relating to your Form I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, were taken. November 29, 2023 We accepted the fingerprint fee for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. Our National Benefits Center location is working on your case. (Mailed on the 15th of November)   Hope this puts others' minds at ease.

Hey everyone

Has anyone else only been approved for I-765 alone and not received a 'combo' card of I-765 & I-131? I thought we were going to get that but it's okay we will patiently keep waiting for GC!
 

We received all 3 NOAs today. Dated 16 Feb. 
 
Progress. 

Well, well, well. 25 days after delivery to the dock, they cashed our check today. No text yet, but a positive step nonetheless.

Since yesterday I see "Card was produced". Like with the I-766 should get the USPS tracking number soon.

Looks like there are 3 of us in limbo. All I can guess is that our package was rejected for some reason and it takes them a few weeks to send it back. If so, at least we will know what is missing and can resubmit without issue. I hope. 

Congratulations! Seems like a really smooth process and as soon as the GC is in the mail time to relax from immigration for a while.🙂

We went to our biometrics appointment on 2/1 and have been checking the online portal weekly since but there have been no 'case status' updates. I check our USPS informed delivery email this morning and to our surprise we have two letters coming, one from NBC and the other from Social Security Administration. I check the online portal again and in the documents tab there was a correspondence sent out on our I-765 which is our approval letter. Moral of the story here I guess is to check the documents tab even if the case status doesn't change, there may be an important update posted there and the 'case status' and 'my progress' could just be stuck. Seems like others are echoing similar complaints about the updates.
 
Does anyone know if we can file our taxes with this EAD card that's coming? Or do we need the SS card? How long until a SS card comes in the mail?

Did K1 interview and you only have to answer their questions briefly. If they ask about ESTA, she should answer how it happened. Should be no problem👍

I kind of liked having information about upcoming approval. The estimates are still kind of buggy but I am sure they are working on improving it.

Very late to this...Congrats to everyone who has come this far in the process. We are a unique bunch of folks aren't we! 🤩 Bet we have some very interesting stories and a lot more in common than most of us even realize. haha! That's another discussion. Really love being part of this place and reading all of the stories everyone has to share.
