GC in hand today!

Card produced 07/26, tracking number provided is the same as a previous one (apparently they re-use tracking numbers, who knew?). Eagerly awaiting it's arrival. Again, praying for fast approvals for everyone in here!

I finally have an update after so much radio silence! Yesterday I received an email saying an action had been taken, only to find out it had changed from RFE docs received to actively reviewed. I thought it was annoying but at least something. Today, however, I received a new email again stating that an action had been taken, this time it was notifying me of my I-485 being approved!

Still nothing here either other than RFE. Responded to the RFE I recieved (June 2nd) within a few days (June 6th) using the option to upload online through MyUSCIS. Silence since then! Thankfully I am working so that is allowing me to think about it less. Hoping everyone else can get a response soon.

Recieved an email saying an action was taken on my case today. Unfortunately, it was a request for additional evidence (I-485)... I cannot think what I may have forgotten to include! Very frustrating.

Very good news for you both too! I recieved my card today (very cool looking I must say). I must say that the thought of getting a job is both exciting and daunting.

Just recieved a notification saying that action has been taken on one of my cases. Upon checking my account it now shows that my EAD card has been produced (18 days)! I'll update once it is recieved.

Still nothing after 17 days! I've read that for many people the status doesn't change till way after they received their EAD. I've also read that it takes 1-2 weeks from some and 2-3 weeks from others, my experience suggests the latter is more accurate. As soon as I have news I'll update you - please do the same if you gets yours before me 😁

Hello all! Just a little update. Attended my biometrics appointment 04/17 in Alexandria, VA. Took a grand total of 5-10 minutes to go in, find where it was, check in, and have my fingerprints and photo taken. It was incredibly fast and there were only 4-5 people in the waiting area. I am going to guess it was because it as mid-week at 12pm. My cases immediately changed to "actively reviewed". I saw something on here that made me check my USCIS account and see if anything had changed - turns out my I-765 has already been approved, with the approval date being 04/19. This whole experience is surreal as the K1 process has conditioned me to think everything takes years. Hoping for quick approvals for everyone else too!

Tried again today and recieved the information on the first try. Biometrics appointment scheduled for 04/17! Just waiting for the letter to actually arrive now

Hello all! Joining in on this too. Packet sent to Elgin lockbox via UPS 03/21. Recieved 03/25. I-797C recieved via text 03/29. Spoke to an agent through Ask Emma and recieved no information regarding my biometrics appointment info or my online access code. It was honestly impressive how useless the agent was, as when I asked for my online access code I essentially got "you'll get it when you get it" as a response. I then asked about biometrics and received the automatic response of "thank you for contacting USCIS, have a great day!". Regardless, I am surprised by how quick I recieved the notification based on the varying experiences on here.

Approved on the 30th October! Last step, flying in January after teaching this final school term 😁 Good luck to those still waiting

DS160 completed. Visa fee paid. Interview booked (30th October). Just waiting on my Police Certificate so I can book my medical - which is taking ages to arrive (paid for 9 days ago)!

Case is ready for me too! Exciting and anxious times 😁

Just recieved an email with the "in-transit" letter attached too! Getting closer to the end of this long journey 😁

Just wanted to update you @Bh_sarah and anyone else interested that we had our case approved today! Thank you for all for the support you provided. The bonus is that I am able to celebrate this whilst being on holiday in the US with my fiance 😁

I appreciate this and am hopeful this will be the case. I contacted live chat yesterday and was told up to 52 days, this new email says 45. I just didn't expect the Senator's office to respond so quickly and a response from USCIS so quickly too. Either way, thanks for the support as always!

It's such a vague statement. It could be what you've suggested or it could even mean that it's been sat in storage and is only just being sent to an officer to be worked on. I honestly don't know as I haven't seen anyone else recieve a message like this when searching around forums. I'll keep you posted regardless 😁

Update on the Senator response. Recieved this email from them regarding the USCIS enquiry: "Thank you for your inquiry, relating to the petition filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Your constituent’s case is currently in transit to an officer. Your constituent should receive a notice of action* within 45 days from the date of this response. If a notice is not received after 45 days, please submit a new inquiry." No idea what this really means but I suppose it is better than "your constituent's case is within the normal processing time"!

@Bh_sarah Don’t worry about it! You’ve done so much for us all anyway and you’ve earned the right to take it easy. I’m just glad to see your case is progressing nicely. Just an update for our application: We’re on day 515 and still nothing to report from USCIS. We have contacted our state senator, to which they replied almost immediately and assured us that they’ve enquired and emphasised the urgency of the matter. Let’s see if it actually does something! On a brighter note, I’ll be flying to see my fiancé a week today!

@Bh_sarah @Gary Rich Thank you both for the support, suggestions, and reassurance on it all. I feel bad for ranting when there are those that have probably been waiting 500+! I'll keep going of course and once it's approved it'll be a thing of the past 😁

@Bh_sarah Just wanted to say thank you for continuing to post the daily numbers. We're on day 489 (over 16 months now 😔) without hearing a thing and it is honestly becoming depressing to even think about. I check far less often than I used to but it just feels cruel to see them move onto June with so many of us still waiting (even before February). I know there are people who have waited longer so its just a bit of a rant as I am truly fed up with it all. At least I'll be spending the summer holidays with my fiancé. I hope your NVC is sorted soon and you'll be onto the next stage in no time!

Congrats @Bh_sarah! Giving me hope that our day will come soon (fingers crossed).

Eugh, it just seems like 49500 (and other earlier ones) is being forgotten about! Hasn't been touched in over a week 😔

@Bh_sarah Just got to keep moving forward. Every day is a step closer, even if we are talking tiny, tiny steps! According to your spreadsheet there are only 7 left from my range (49500), I am convinced there'll be one left and it'll be mine 😂.Thanks again for the work you do.
