Thank you! So the long processing times (10-18 months) I'm seeing for family based AOS in USCIS are because of waiting to get I130 approved first? with that being said should I send an email to kind of get officer's attention to the case being already approved to not expedite but at least skip the waiting time people normally have for the I130 approval, as I have a priority date of 15 March 2022? It's a family based application - I485 - based on my approved I130. I have a company lawyer office but they are not really helpful, they already wasted 3 months as they forgot that I still have to file I864! They don't really help here they are just doing their job that's why I was looking into getting maybe an attorney or sending a message to my congressmen to get it somehow moved based on my I130 approval. Do you normally receive RFEs before a biometrics is scheduled or after you do your biometrics? I assumed that they scheduled my biometrics so they won't be asking for RFE. For the last question, looks like I'm still in NBC and haven't moved to a specific service center yet, do you have any idea when I can know this piece of information? Because service centers vary in processing times.

Hello, I was waiting for my interview at the embassy in Cairo for CR1 marriage visa and green card (Have approved I130 and DQ since June 2023), however my company transferred me inside the US with L1A visa. They have filed for me the AOS and asked for the I130 approval notice and I received the receipt notice for I-485 yesterday with biometrics scheduled next week. Questions: 1- Will have an already approved I130 notice make the process much easier? I have a priority date in the notice of March 15 2022 when we started our immigration journey, would that make it faster than the normal processing times I'm seeing of 12-18 months? 2- If the answer for number one is no, If I get a lawyer or attorney to support with that would it make a difference? 3- We had a baby 3 months ago when I entered the U.S! would that be a strong evidence where I can send the birth certificate and email them to move my case faster? 4- What is the normal timeline and events? I know it's receipt notice then biometrics then an interview, is there anything I'm missing? 5- I received the receipt notice with national benefits center in the bottom, is that my service center? Because I can't see any processing time for this service center. Thank you and sorry for the long post!!

Hello, My company has blanket L1 processing and is going to schedule an appointment for me I checked in Travel state website and it's saying that wait time for interview is 5 days which is what i told my company, however i tried to go in Cairo Embassy website and see available appointments if i wanna schedule one, I found out its saying first appointment is 12 March 2024!!! Is this true or when i go through it will be reduced? Thank you, desperately need good news!
