Good day Family,

 

I did an e-request for a service outside of the normal processing time yesterday and noticed my I-485 has moved from VSC to MSC based on the last 3 letters on the reference. I just want to find out from people with similar experiences how long it normally takes from here to the local office for final processing. Thank you.

I sent congressional inquiry in Feb 2022, they confirmed in March 2022 that I485 file is in local office (St. Louis). No word since then. Sent another congressional inquiry in July 2022, no response to that yet. VAWA I360 approved in Nov 2021.     

Divorced US citizen spouse in December 2017. 

Filed I-360 on Nov 12, 2019

Filed I485/ C31 EAD / AP in Feb 2020 (Stupid lawyer filed C31 instead of C9, and I didnt know EAD codes, didnt know about this VJ forum either)

On H1b status since 2014, H1b 6 years expired in May 2020. Out of status / Period of authorized stay since then. 

Amended EAD petition to C9 and filed expedite request for same in mid-may 2020. 

C9 EAD approved June 4, 2020. 

Biometrics done in Oct 2020. 

I485 case transferred to NBC for "faster processing" on September 30, 2020

Filed C9 EAD / AP Renewal petition in February 2021. 

Initial Advance Parole (from Feb 2020 application) approved in June 2021. 

C31 EAD production update - Nov 1st, 2021. 

C31 card delivered to attorney's office on Nov 8, 2021. 

I-360 case approved status update - Nov 22, 2021. 

No RFE throughout.  

Senator's office confirmed via congressional inquiry that the St. Louis office has received the I485 file and is currently awaiting interview scheduling - March 7, 2022

C9 EAD renewal card production case update - July 20, 2022 (took them just 17 months to process)

C9 EAD / AP renewal approval case update on both cases on July 21, 2022.

Combo card delivered to attorney's office on July 27, 2022

Medical exam RFE Drama: Second congressional inquiry sent in early July 2022 for I485. USCIS responded on 8/12/22 to this congressional inquiry that they issued an RFE on 5/24/22 and were waiting for my response. My lawyer denied receiving RFE and there was no such update on online USCIS portal. Lawyer's old firm was safe mailing address on my case. Lawyer changed firms a year after I hired her but did not change mailing address for my case with USCIS, she said she had a deal with her old firm to forward all her clients' mail to her new firm. Old firm denied receiving RFE. Sent another congressional inquiry requesting copy of RFE on 8/17/22. I also got medical exam done on 8/17/22 as I assumed RFE was for medical exam (thanks for this forum's insights.) Yelled at lawyer and threatened her with dire consequences. On 8/18/22 my lawyer's old firm finally found scanned copy of RFE in their "archived scans" (whatever the duck that is) and emailed it to me. It was indeed RFE requesting medical exam. On 8/20/22 I mailed medicals sealed packet with copy of RFE to St. Louis field office. Also sent a notarized letter with the packet - updating safe mailing address to my home address and informing St. Louis field office that I fired my lawyer. Sent similar letter to Vermont Service Center on the same date. 

8/23/22 - Fedex confirmed delivery of medicals packet to St. Louis Field Office. 

8/26/22: Case update on I485: New Card Is Being Produced

8/29/22:  On August 29, 2022, we approved your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS

9/3/22 green card delivered to attorney's office (they didn't change safe mailing address despite my written requests to FO AND VSC.) 

9/6/22 VSC returned AR11 and my letter requesting safe mailing address change. In their letter they said something to the effect of "you can do this online, we wont do it via snail mail request etc." Just posting as an FYI, its weird. Also received I485 approval notice on the same date.

Your current status update. 

I check case status daily, no RFE update. I check with attorney every couple of weeks as well, no medical RFE / medical deficiency letter / interview letter so far. Current / most recent status update on I485 (checked just now): 

-------------------------------------------------

October 21, 2020

Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken

----------------------------------------------------

Plan is to wait till November to give the slowpokes a solid year to adjudicate I485, then will send medical without RFE and file mandamus if no response by November. In the interim I bug them every three months through senator's office.

Have you received your RFE yet? 

Not yet. 

I usually recieved their letters after five business days. 

Two days later after that RFE updates, I received another update on my case as follow: "Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken"

Hello Family,

If the processing time is 26 months. 

That means they are now actively working on ending May and beginning June 2020 filers.

I hope they will answer you soon. I have been waiting since 2017 for i-485 but my i-360 was since 2018 and it got approved in April this year. I cannot wait any longer and I pray God makes it happen sooner than later.

Your timeline is exactly mine but mine still under the required security checks.
None of my cases has been approved yet 😭

I got 1rfe and 1 PF till2023.

hope we can hear some good news in name of Jesus 🙏

Oct 2019 still waiting, reached out to congressman, looks like USCIS provide same response to everyone, “pending security check, can’t provide decision before it’s done…”. also reached out to ombudsman, looks like they don’t even follow up anymore for case outside processing time: “we will not close your inquiry, but we cannot promise to provide you with immediate individual case assistance at this time.” I don’t even know what to do next. I’m desperate
