Hey guys,

 

Seattle filer here! I've seen a few others on the July/October AOS pages but thought it would be nice to have single place to discuss any updates.

 

Has anyone seen any Family-based I-485 interviews scheduled/taken place recently? Visa journey's data states the last interview was in April/May...

Haven't filed yet, probably won't until November 2018, since fiance is moving here in a few weeks. Out of curiosity, how long did it take for you guys to receive EAD? I don't know how my fiance will do if he can't work for 6 months. :(

We moved in August, filled Oct 2017 and got ours Dec 22... however the timelines were much shorter last year (around 3-4 months) so we were on the early end. Its so hit or miss its hard to give an estimate but i would be prepared for 6 months just in case. Its not easy! You finance could find some volunteering to keep them busy? take up a new hobby? travel if feasible.. or simply enjoy the time off while they can! Just have to make the best out of  a bad situation

I filed mine last April and got my EAD/AP in August. It wasn’t too long of a wait but definitely find something to do. I did a volunteer work and I think it’s a good thing to add to his American resume.

I wonder what are their bases for the interview schedule . I Can’t get it  🤢 I filed earlier than my friend but she got her GC first . The most frustrating part is I don’t have any update in my case status 😪 I also have one friend she filed June 2017 and got her GC May 2018 ..  same case and same office . I don’t want to compare but I can’t help myself to  think about it.  I called USCIS many times but they just keep on telling me to wait 🙄😅
