I-485 MyProgress Tab

[alliejourney 61]

Is anyone familiar with what the steps on the myProgress tab might indicate?

 

We filed August 2nd, they received it August 5th, and husband attended biometrics on October 3rd. Then, mid-October the myProgress tab finally showed up and put us in Step 3 (attend interview if needed) with a timeline estimate of 2 months. This morning I logged in and Step 3 has now been marked complete, and we're on Step 4, Case Decision, with a timeline of 12 months. I know the time estimates are famously inaccurate, but I'm curious about what this might mean in terms of whether we may receive an RFE during this case decision time? If they've decided he doesn't need an interview, have they only scanned it enough to determine there's no red flags that may trigger an interview, but we could still get an RFE? Or have they reviewed everything thoroughly enough that we're essentially just in the queue for an approval or denial?

 

I know nobody can know the workings of USCIS, just looking to speculate and hear from others who may have some knowledge of what could happen next based on this tab!

From everything I've read, that probably means the interview has been waived and you are on your way to approval! Sending good thoughts your way... please update this thread with what happens next!

Thank you, that's what I'm hoping! I've heard they do waive the interviews more often than not these days, so I'll be interested to see how things play out from here. I guess I'm curious how they determine whether or not an interview is needed, and whether they'll ask for additional evidence from us AFTER determining that an interview wasn't needed!

I wouldn't trust anything the My progress tab shows tbh. I was scheduled for an interview and it was showing that I was on the last step, meaning I already attended the interview even though I had not. But praying for you to have the interview waived 🙏

I hope as well this means you won't have to do an interview! I'm a bit confused with the new format what "case decision" means. Is this referring to the visa as a whole in that once the case is decided your partner will have a visa in hand. Or, does it just mean "case decision" as in whether or not your application will be moved to the visa center?

This is for adjustment of status once inside the US not a visa application

Same situation here - no progress since mid November 2024 (case decision  phase  - step 4). Any updates on your side?

My wife just had her biometrics today and immediately after finishing it marked step 3 complete for attending interview as well. Hoping that's a good sign.

No updates from me! I filed August 2nd. Looking at the monthly AOS threads, I've seen January 2024 filers start to get some approvals, but also I think someone from June. So I'm checking myUSCIS every day but realistically, as long as all goes well and no RFE, I'm not expecting any updates until summer 2025. Hoping for sooner, of course! 😁
