Edward and Jaycel

Thank you!!

Thank you! I really do believe this is the most difficult step and we're so happy to have it behind us

I will second this... (or third this? ) This has got us to where we are now (Jaycel just getting her Conditional Green Card on a relatively quick timeline) and it was specifically mentioned by our Consular Officer at the embassy and our interviewing officer at USCIS that they appreciated our honesty about my brush with the law that I had 30 years ago. I can't speak to other's experiences but the people we encountered along the way in positions to make a decision on our cases were very human, were genuinely interested in our story and were very understanding of being fallible and making mistakes (and wanting to hear the circumstances around those mistakes so they could understand and adjudicate properly). Please stay here with the community and let us know how your journey progresses!

Thanks @Crazy Cat... That pic came after we wiped away a lot of happy tears that night

Thank you and no worries... I ain't goin nowhere I will be giving back to this awesome community as much as I can! Thank you!

This should be: I-485 Approved: 07/24/2025

First I want to thank this community! The advice, the pool of knowledge available here and just the feeling of belonging that most members project is such a source of comfort during this crazy process. I don't know if Jaycel and I would have maintained our sanity if we didn't have our fellow travelers to lean on. So thank you all so very much! 8 Months and 2 weeks from application received to card in hand. (And exactly 4 years from the day we started talking ) No RFEs and EAD in 51 days. Pretty happy with that timeline! Now we get a break from USCIS for the next 21 months Our full timeline in case it's helpful to anyone else: I-129F Receipt Date: 09/18/2023 I-129F RFE: 05/20/2024 I-129F RFE Response Received: 06/01/2024 I-129F Approved: 06/04/2024 I-129F Sent to DOS: 06/11/2024 DOS Case # Assigned: 07/01/2024 K1-FTP: 07/16/2024 Embassy Interview: 08/13/2024 (Approved) Visa in Hand: 08/20/2024 Entered the US: 08/30/2024 Married: 10/25/2024 AOS Receipt Date: 11/18/2024 Biometrics: 12/26/2024 EAD Approved: 01/08/2025 Interview Scheduled: 06/16/2025 Interview Attended: 07/23/2025 I-485 Approved: 06/16/2025 Green Card Received: 08/01/2025

You will not get a notice that your file transferred

It's all up to the local Field Office and their backlog. Is your office Hartford?

Thank you! I guess I forgot to update this thread but our interview was 07/23/2025 and we got verbal approval at the end of the interview. The case status changed to "Case Approved" 24 hours later on the portal. We got notification 5 days later, on the 29th that the card was produced and according to USPS informed delivery, the card will be arriving today! I hope you guys get your interview scheduled notification soon!!

WOO HOO!! 🎉🎉 Congrats!!

Keep us posted!

That's exactly what happened at our interview last Wednesday and 24 hours later we got the approval notice on the portal. Hoping it's the same for you!

Yes very quick! We had her updated SS Card in hand on Tuesday. That blows my mind

Today's stats: July 30, 2025 23:15 MDT - It's been a couple of weeks due to interview prep and helping our friends prep for their interview which happened the week after ours November 2024 Filed I-485 Stats • Approved: 19,197 (+2,283) • Denied: 1,741 • FingerprintScheduled: 62 • InterviewCancelled: 571 • InterviewScheduled: 3,779 (-1438) • Processing: 15,636 (-894) • Received: 406 • Rejected: 100 • RFE: 417 • Terminated: 236 • Withdrawal: 105 • Others: 16

We helped a friend do this. It happened to them as well but when we went in the portal and checked their profile, the address had been corrected.

USPS Informed Delivery noticed popped this afternoon and it looks like Jaycel's card should be here on Friday! 🎉🎉

Good to hear!!

Yes if they filed the I-84 on the immigrant's behalf they must file the I-865 and it has to be done on a paper form, by mail

Status changed to “Card Produced” today

Great news! Now you know you can get what you need Keep us all updated on your journey!

Since I needed Court Certified copies, I had to call the county clerk's office to find out what to do. I had to mail them a request for a certified court record for anything in my name and include a payment of $15 (I think) to do the process. I also included a self addressed express mail envelope to get it back to me.

Oh sorry from your post I thought you guys had one. Then just the I-864 sponsor has to fill it out and send it in.

Yes it needs to be filed and the joint sponsor needs to file the I-865 as well. It needs to be filed by mail. Here's the link to the I-865 page on the USCIS website which has all the instructions: https://www.uscis.gov/i-865

Best of luck and wishing you guys a speedy approval!!
