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!
