I'm not sure if this would help you track your status or anyone that do not see updates on the website uscis.gov .

 

Mine worked because they sent an RFE and on uscis.gov it doesnt show. But on this other website it does show the date that they sent the RFE.

I have an account with this website as well. it shows the same thing i have no idea how the process these cases. I saw people got approval for may 28, while people are waiting with PD April.

How will I know when my PD is current to apply for AOS? Thank you.  

 

@Reynizzle Sorry for the delay in the response.

You have to check the second chart in the Visa bulletin.It shows filing date and for your category(i believe it is F2A) it shows a date.

You can do AOS ,only if you are in the USA with a valid status.

Yes and they said your case is outside normal processing time so we will send e-request for you and i got the same response that I attached earlier. I told them that i know people who got approval with priority dates after dec, 2016 and they said you cant relay on that cause each case is treated in a different way and it also depends on the country too...but i was't convinced!!

There are many people with PD May 2017 who have received their approval notice, and only 2 so far from June. I have seen these updates in a Facebook group I am part of.

That’s unfortunate, but be patient. Our time will come too. My PD is in July so I have a couple more months of waiting.

I just replied to the RFE that I received. Is it a good idea to submit my AOS regardless or should I wait to hear back about the RFE? My PD is April 10, 2017. I’m already late for my AOS. 

 

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Do you mean adjustment of status? I don't know how long the wait it at your local office, so I'd suggest you check that before applying. You might add another year to your wait. Can't you go through consular processing? By the time you receive an approval and your case is at NVC, your PD could be current. We are talking about 3-4 months at most.

Well, I don’t think it’s 3-4 months , I would say closer to 6 months mark, but in case If he mentioned in his I-130 form that he is willing to go through AOS process, then his case will never be transferred to NVC, therefore , additional I-824 form has to be filled (application for action on an approved application ) , which itself takes   8 months to be approved

It's not clear what's you're referring to as time frames. I think he can receive an approval in 2-4 weeks assuming he provided everything they ask for. After that he has to wait 2.5 months for a case number. It would take 3-4 months, I don't know how you came up with 6 😶 And considering the current VB + steady advancement in the next 3 months = his PD current in July ( 4 months from now roughly). It's a pretty much done deal, even if the VB slows down.

As to AOS, he needs to file i-485 and the processing time varies depending on the local office. But I'm hearing its rarely under a year. So it's gonna add quite some time, and hence my advice to go through consular processing instead.

 

P.S. You don't mention in i-130 whether you are going through AOS or not. You got that all confused. You file i-485 and that stops the petition from proceeding to NVC.
