Our congressman helped us a lot during the K1 visa (5months at TSC, probably would have been twice as long without his 'interest' in our case), I hope it will help too.

Stay Strong ! :)

If I don't mistake they consider the date they filed it in the computer, not the day you sent it. I sent it on 05/18 but count from 05/20 on. This could explain it :)

you're actually right, coz that's what the rep from tier 1 told me...and talk about updates, mine changed from "New Card Is Being Produced" and after an hour to "Case Was Approved"

Card was mailed out today. Hope to get it by next week.

One question please, I don't understand the I-485 timeline. I see a couple who have gotten interview dates so I want to know when I should expect ours. Because I plan to spend Christmas holiday with my family back home. Is it possible to have interviewed before then?

Has your case status changed to "ready for an interview"? If so, then check the processing times of your local field office to give you an estimate on your interview time (for my local office they've just approved a I-485 from a year ago, so I think I'll be waiting a while!). Some people don't even get an interview, but apparently this can take a lot longer.

Highly unlikely, December is only 4 months away and there is a 50/50 chance of either getting an interview or an interview waiver letter.

Interview is faster to a GC than the interview waiver. Also some received waiver letters and then still got interview appointments.

With waiver letters it takes about 12-14 months to receive your GC, with an interview it's sooner, 5-7 months or so.

I wouldn't plan any travel unless you feel safe enough to do so with your AP, it should be fine for most but personally I would wait.

I-485 is all over the map currently with very long wait times.

Most of the 4 months fast interviews you see are adjusting from other visas, usually not K1's, though possible for a few here and there.

And yes there are 2 USCIS Case Update apps which is by the way only available in playstore...recommended it to some friends who are iphone users but they said they cant find the application. They're convenient to use coz u dont have to go to the website and type your case #, those apps just gives you update whenever theres changes on your case on the uscis website ?

I know how you feel. The employer gave me 2 weeks to get my documents before I lose the offer and one week as passed and I feel like tearing my hair out :clock: . The wait is killing me! I might be checked into a hospital soon because I am going crazy lol.

Oh god, hopefully you'll get it soon! Just got a status update that the card has been mailed to me today :) So they work on Saturdays?
