I have not tried calling USCIS because to be honest I am not in that much of a hurry (H-1B holder) and don't want to spend a whole day waiting for someone to pick up. Also, it seems that many people on the same boat have submitted SRs and that did not help much (they were told they had to wait longer). In the absence of consistent success stories it just sounded like a waste of time.

You are incorrect on the USCIS phone waittimes- after the USCIS changed the phone system to reject calls, there's been practically minimal wait nowadays. You just need to keep saying "technical problem" to get a human operator instead of being disconnected by the voice bot. 

 

You are correct about service requests being useless. The only service request that is helpful is an expedite request but to have the sufficient evidence and the correct situation for warrants an approved expedite is difficult. The other alternative is finding a useful constituent immigration services representative with your local congressperson's office. Emphasis put on useful as some districts have poor liaisons who don't care much for immigrants while others are super invested and helpful.

Hi - My wife and I are applying I-485, I-130, I-131, I-765 but we haven't heard any updates since July 27, 2020. We submitted the package sometime in May 2020.

 

July 27, 2020 - 

I-485 : Fingerprint fee was received

I-130 : Case was received

I-765 : Case was received

I-131: Case was received

 

I called twice every 3-4 months and they said there were no updates at all yet. I didn't get the appointment to get biometrics done.

 

Does anyone know how much longer we will have to wait? I'm hoping for at least an update. I wonder if they are also doing interviews or planning to pass the people that they do not really need to interview?

 

Thank you for your help.

 

 

WE have a same situation. I send my combo 20th of January. The last update I have is we are ready to be scheduled since march 2020.

 

though I received my work and travel permit but still anxious about the interview and green card process
