Hi all,

 

Everything with our process has been going smoothly and my wife received her EAD card at the end of February, right before the country started issuing lockdown measures.

 

Our next step is receiving an interview date for the I-485 application, which has not happened. MyUSCIS shows no updates (however, it shows no updates for the I-129F or the I-765 either, so it seems entirely broken) and when I enter the I-485 case number at the USCIS Case Status page, it says as of January 30th, 2020 they are ready to schedule my interview.

 

Is it safe to just sit back and wait and assume that the long delay is related to the pandemic? The processing times for my area (Washington, DC) say 12 to 23.5 months, so I suppose we are in for a really long wait.

 

Thank you

Huge covid backlog adding to whatever backlog existed prior, and field offices have been open only a little more than a week.   Time to lower your expectations.

YMMV

Pretty sure my expectations were in the right place. I'm not expecting action any time soon. I'm simply looking to reassure myself that I haven't missed anything and my assessment is accurate.
