There's not many updates on the tracker, but it looks like right now October, November, December, and January filers are getting their combo cards. Not sure if any Feb or March filers have gotten theirs without expediting. 

With January filers, many of them are still waiting for their approvals. Again there are still some December and November filers waiting. Just hope you all get updates.

GreenCard arrived in the mail today. Yaaay!!!🥳🥳

 

For all those still waiting, I pray it comes sooner than expected and for those waiting to have their interview, just be calm and hold your documents. No need to fret

 

See you all at ROC in a couple of years.

 

Thank you God.

 

New York AOS filer.

Some USCIS statistics while we wait.

Looks like I-485 processing sped up some, and they are actually processing more than they are taking in, unfortunately they barely making a dent into a huge backlog they have for family based I-485. Hopefully the speed up trend will continue.

Have any march filers got their Advanced Parole yet? I’m hoping people are just forgetting to update their timelines because every time I look at my timeline’s estimate for AP it’s been pushed back. It’s gone from June 11th to September 9th!

Nope. Ours went from June to now October. My husband has to go home at the very end of August/beginning of September and it looks like now it won’t come by then. A total mess for us. So happy for those people who have gotten such quick interviews but it’s so sad for the rest of us

A thing to keep in mind, if someone gets GC interview, and approval, their EAD/AP applications get cancelled. I do not VJ is smart enough to take that into account, so even though they are no longer waiting for EAD/AP, the timeline keeps getting pushed back. But I do not believe I've seen any straight up non-expedite EAD/AP approvals posted so far.

Good point! Thank you

October!! Yikes. That’s not right. It should not take this long to be able to leave the US and USCIS needs to hire more staff. People have all kinds of valid reasons why they can’t be stuck here for a prolonged amount of time, and besides it’s just weird to not be able to leave a country if you wish to do so. Here’s hoping your card comes in quicker than expected.

I know. It is so stressful it’s just horrible. For those who have gotten their AP, did it just come one day in the mail?

I’ve heard of people saying it came one day in the mail without having updated online but I check my AP status online every day to see if it’s been adjudicated. And once I see it’s been approved I’ll of course be looking for it in the mail. But as I say at least one user on here has said nothing updated online but they found it one day in the mail so we should all be on the lookout for it every day.

AP approvals thread. There’s a couple of march filers on there that we’re just approved. A lot from Jan/dec.

I have check many people from October November and December who had their ead/ap approved and many of them received the cards within 5 to 7 days and a few exceed more than 8 days.

It makes me think I should have moved to Jacksonville or one of those super fast places... 😕

Why Jacksonville in particular? Is it faster? It's my closest ASC

USCIS recently implemented a change where they transfer cases between local offices in order to better balance the load, and possibly speed up processing. This might be why. Congrats, regardless. Totally worth a long car ride in my opinion. 

Curious, what does your status on website show? Did it update?
