My parent's I-130 got approved today. It was waaaaaay over normal processing time so it was high time.

 

The I-693 RFE received date changed from Jan 27 2023 to Feb 2 2023. I wonder what that means....

Parents I-30 remains pending. My mom's I-485 keeps getting RFE due to the medical portion. USCIS has already extended the validity period for the I-693, but they keep screwing up. My mom has already forked thousands on multiple Civil surgeon exams. I'm at my wits end. 😞

Why? What happens to her I 693 each time its submitted to USCIS?

 

Edit: Are you submitting the I 693 in sealed envelope along with the RFE letter to the address that is mentioned in the RFE letter? I know its basic but sometimes we are so  focused that we overlook it by mistake.

my mother's i130 is stuck at Vermont Service Center. I485 is stuck at NBC. It's not even forwarded to the Field Office. I130 normal processing time window will be closing in May so I hope to raise an inquiry afterwards.

got a text today that something happened to my I485 app. I checked it and it has gone from active voice to passive voice for "reviewing" to "being reviewed". Then I checked the I-130 on the whim which was also changed to being reviewed with the date updated to today. But in the documents tab, the approval notice for I-130 was already present. USCIS also sent me a status email which mentioned that the status for I485 was in "Initial Review". But right now I485 is at "being reviewed" in the online portal. I am guessing that the next step would be an rfe for the medical test since the old ones sent are already more than a year old.

As of yesterday, no RFE has been issued yet. I expect that they will issue an RFE for medical although I sent the I693 but that would have been deemed "expired" by them. I did live agent chat on Emma and they told me yesterday that the interview waiver had been removed. So they will schedule an interview for the case. The case is with the local office and the processing time is 21 months. So the interview call has to come before June, I guess if they want to honor their own 21 months time-frame.

Decided long ago,  not to post anything on here until my approval, so finally, here it goes. After 632 days of patiently waiting, my case has finally been approved!!! Glory be to The Almighty 🙏🏽.

 

This community has been a huge resource in navigating this immigration journey on our own and I couldn't have kept my sanity and patience without the members who have shared their experiences. Thanks to everyone in this community who have contributed. 

 

To anyone still waiting to be approved, be patient and your day will come soon.

Small word of advice...I kind of nudged USCIS into making a decision, or so it seems, by randomly uploading evidence to my USCIS online account on each of my pending cases(I-130 and I-485). On May 27th, I uploaded evidence to my I-130 case and 5 days later that case was approved. I thought my I-485 would be approved concurrently but that didn't happen, so on June 6th I uploaded the same evidence to my I-485 case,  by June 7th my case status changed to "Case Being Actively Reviewed" and this morning I woke up to the approval notice. I don't know if that caused them to look back at my case or if it's just a coincidence but anyone still waiting can always try that and see where it leads.

Congratulations and to all that have finally received approval. My dad filed I-130 and I-485 in September 2021 and his case is still pending. Meanwhile, my mother filed in October 2021 and her green card was delivered in May 2023. 

 

Anyone else experiencing extreme delays?

For India, they ask for Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) if fingerprinting doesnt work out.

 

Must be something similar for your country too. Good luck! Hope things work out for your parent
