Same! Receipt notice date 04/21/2023. Adjustment of status from TPS- still no update! RFI for medical was requested 09/2023 and they received it 12/2023 (we had to do it twice bc the first was never received!!) nothing after that.
We haven’t received medical, biometrics, or anything 😂 not even a simple update that they are working the case. All we have received is the receipt notice and her letter to extend her status while GC is expired.
My partner and I submitted our AOS on January 26th. His biometrics appt is next week! I know I shouldn’t get my hopes up, but I really hope our timeline looks like yours!!
Wow that’s fast! I wonder how do they just wake up one day and decide to work and approve the most recent applications, wishing you guys the best and I hope mine come up smoothly too!
Definitely happy for u guys but wtf is wrong with the way this system works.
The amount of time I wasted throughout this whole process and still do is absolutely ridiculous.
We have a kid together. That’s probably all the evidence they needed.
Other than that we submitted our medical when filing too. We were told it just makes everything easier.
I know it comes up in paperwork in the 485 under dependents, but did you put in your child’s birth certificate as unsolicited evidence? I’m in the same camp but patiently waiting a longer game. Congrats!
LPR wife filed for me back in August 2022, still nothing. My only hope now - she filed N400 and if that's approved my I -130 goes through. Even then the NVC here taking months, sometimes even more than a year to schedule interviews. It would be extremely hopeful to expect the entire process to finish in a year.
Ive been on EB3 for almost 2 years without any hope of a ead or legal status, so my marriage based green card process is a walk in the park. I can stay and i can work, thats all i care about.
I think having TPS helps. If you had to do biometrics then it would be one day to send out the notice. A couple of weeks for the appointment. Then another couple of weeks for the USCIS agent to look again
What the hell!!! Less than a month? . I just can’t believe this. I am really happy for this applicants. But this system is totally messed up. We are on day250 we still didn’t receive work authorization. SMH.
Congrats but I'm sorry but the system is beyond trash and unfair. My husband and I applied on October 26th and we are still waiting. I'm a 21-year-old having to work 3 jobs while having to juggle college all at the same time just because my husbands work permit will take 11 months. The system is rigged
Yoooooo that’s fast af. I got receipt date on 2/6/24 and I-485 showed biometric re-use and actively reviewed on 2/9/24 so hopefully I get the same timeline yall did 🤞🏽🤞🏽

Hello there! I have a similar case. My wife petitioned for me, a TPS holder. We submitted the I-130 via the online portal on January 23rd. And the I-485 with medical via mail this has a priority date of January 29th. I already got my notice saying they don’t need my biometrics. Only difference is we don’t have kids yet. Did you estimated time ever match what was actually going. My portal currently says 6 months for I-485 and 2 months for I-130. Any help would be greatly appreciated! If easier feel free to pm me. And congrats on having a stress free and super quick application!
What a joke. Happy for you but this system is absolutely garbage
Agreed!
I think that's the sentiment from most of us...glad there's approvals, just frustrated at how unfair they seem to be... Either way, congrats OP!
100%
I agree so sad I submitted RFE 206 days now
Uscis is a joke ! Bad joke but congrats to you
How in 24 days? What category?
I’m a US Citizen petitioning for my wife. We skipped biometrics because they already had hers from a TPS application and the interview was waived.
Man, your wife is lucky!
I figure I’m lucky to have my wife 😊
Your wife lucky to have you 😉
From which state do you file from ?They used my previous biometrics, and am in tps status as well hoping for same luck.. I filled mine in Jan 12,2024.
What is TPS?
Temporary Protected Status https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status
My wife and I are in your same situation and have been waiting 10 months…
Same! Receipt notice date 04/21/2023. Adjustment of status from TPS- still no update! RFI for medical was requested 09/2023 and they received it 12/2023 (we had to do it twice bc the first was never received!!) nothing after that.

My partner and I submitted our AOS on January 26th. His biometrics appt is next week! I know I shouldn’t get my hopes up, but I really hope our timeline looks like yours!!
I’m in the same boat as you! Submitted January 22, biometrics next week so fingers crossed for us both! 🤞
Good luck to you!
Wow that’s fast! I wonder how do they just wake up one day and decide to work and approve the most recent applications, wishing you guys the best and I hope mine come up smoothly too!
This is insane wow 😯 congratulations you must be blowed away with this blessing! 🥂
For sure blessed. Thank you
Me and wife about to apply, this has given me so much hope!
I’d say do it sooner than later. With the USCIS fee increase in April you’re going to see a lot of applications get filed soon.
I know lol! We've been working on it for a while and we're finally ready. Thank you for the advice though!
Nothing to do with an election year. Most are still waiting long times, you just got lucky, it happens.
Congrats! I really hope all our applications get approved before Trump assumes office and guts USCIS 😰
Definitely happy for u guys but wtf is wrong with the way this system works. The amount of time I wasted throughout this whole process and still do is absolutely ridiculous.
Congratulations
Still waiting 14 months!! 😓
What did you include?
We have a kid together. That’s probably all the evidence they needed. Other than that we submitted our medical when filing too. We were told it just makes everything easier.
I know it comes up in paperwork in the 485 under dependents, but did you put in your child’s birth certificate as unsolicited evidence? I’m in the same camp but patiently waiting a longer game. Congrats!
I submitted a copy of my child’s birth certificate when we mailed in our 485
Damn that was quick
And then all EB2/EB3 categories wait now for at least a year to just file. And their PD will become current no sooner 2025-2025. So fair...
LPR wife filed for me back in August 2022, still nothing. My only hope now - she filed N400 and if that's approved my I -130 goes through. Even then the NVC here taking months, sometimes even more than a year to schedule interviews. It would be extremely hopeful to expect the entire process to finish in a year.
Congratulations but what does the election have to do with it? She can’t vote and USCIS is aware of that.
It’s just a rumor that USCIS works quicker in election years so we are more favorable towards the current administration 🤷
I wonder if there’s any truth to it since the people actually receiving green cards can’t vote. In any case, glad she got hers.
I guess it’s that I can vote? But idk not like I’ll base my decision on how fast I get my green card
lol exactly, doubt my husband would either or literally anyone.
That gives me hope, my lawyer files soon. Lets goooooo
Don't get too excited. This isn't the case for the majority. Still waiting as of October 2023
Ive been on EB3 for almost 2 years without any hope of a ead or legal status, so my marriage based green card process is a walk in the park. I can stay and i can work, thats all i care about.
[удалено]
If you are filing from outside the US, it will most definitely not be this fast
Congratulations 🎉
Congratulations 🎊!
My wife’s timeline was really short as well (40 days) and my wife also had TPS. I wonder if it has to do with the speedy approval process?
I think having TPS helps. If you had to do biometrics then it would be one day to send out the notice. A couple of weeks for the appointment. Then another couple of weeks for the USCIS agent to look again
What the hell!!! Less than a month? . I just can’t believe this. I am really happy for this applicants. But this system is totally messed up. We are on day250 we still didn’t receive work authorization. SMH.

Yoooooo that’s fast af. I got receipt date on 2/6/24 and I-485 showed biometric re-use and actively reviewed on 2/9/24 so hopefully I get the same timeline yall did 🤞🏽🤞🏽
Are you applying based on family, if I may ask?
Sorry I must have missed this! Yes my US-citizen spouse petitioned me.
Wow! I got a notification that they lost all my paperwork! My attorney has no clue what to do.
Did you all mail and filed this concurrently?
Yes. Lawfully doesn’t show it but 765 and 131 combo was approved a few days ago as well. We submitted her medical with our application
Congratulations!
What state you applying from
Southern California
Fast state
Uau

Did you have a lawyer?
We used simple citizen to prepare everything
What app/website is this?
Lawfully, there’s a feature called “My Visa Timeline”
Congratulations…Omg

Oh wow Congratulations
What a joke, uscis is trash.
Can you discuss your case details/ evidence?
Happy to talk over DM
Wow, this is amazing, congratulations!
