I-485 Approved - August 2012 Filer

[Jon&Clau 1]

From tracking other posts here, it appears as if the NBC is working on August 2012 filers WITH Interview waivers...local field office approvals with an interview are probably much shorter.

Our wait time was exactly 9 months and 4 days, so if you filed after 8/1/2012, expect a 9 month wait.

Thank you! My mom filed hers on 8/6/12.

Thanks for update and congrats! Our NOA is 8/27/13 and got an RFE (They lost medical DS Forms) a couple weeks ago. Even if you are a late August filer they could be looking at your application very soon.

Yep, AOS approvals appear to be all over the board.

YMMV.

Good luck to all. Our receipt date was Sept 25, 2012, and is being processed at the NBC at Fort Summit Missouri . We have no idea at what point our i-485 is in the process. My wife is so frustrated when she reads about green cards being issued within 3 or 4 months including an interview in the process. Any words of wisdom? Thanks to all !

Richard, at this point, you probably won't get an interview, so if the NBC is processing I-485's 9 months from the your NOA, you probably won't hear anything until the end of June. I would just keep looking at the posts that roll in for people who are getting approved and see what their NOA dates are...that will tell you how fast or slow the NBC is working on 485's.

Best Wishes!!

Thank you for the update. This post really calms my fear and nerves. We filed our I485 in mid-October 2012 and the USCIS website already shows our case as being outside the normal processing time. A few days ago, I called USCIS and they said that they would give us an update on our case in 15 days (but I don't believe anything they say).

And Richard, my wife feels the exact same way as your wife. She is frustrated and, at times, feels worthless because no company will hire her without a green card (eventhough she does have an EAD). She also can't drive because my state won't give her a license without a green card. This process is completely ridiculous.

Can you get license using AP card, which is a immigration document for 1 year, if not already applied, apply now. Why no job with EAD, need to try little harder, it can happen, talk to recruiters in the field she's in, or change the field to one that has lot of recruiters.
