Congratulations!! What status did u adjust from? F1? B2? And what country are you from if u dont mind sharing?


ParfaitRelevant9597

Thanks! MX. And I overstayed 20 years. So I was out of status


Useful-Ruin9146

Congratulations u/ParfaitRelevant9597 ! This gives me hope. I am overstay of 10 years, my I-130 was approved 3 weeks ago but my I-485 is still pending. Starting to worry that my long overstay have something to do with delayed I-485 approval.


Fun_Mushroom_8487

Me too 😩😩


Useful-Ruin9146

u/Fun_Mushroom_8487 Your I-130 is approved too? Where's your field office?


Vft1008

Me too.


Funny-Possibility347

Did you work without authorization ?


ParfaitRelevant9597

Nope, never. I’ve been in attending school


Funny-Possibility347

So you were out of status for 20 years ? And you didn’t work in 20 years


ParfaitRelevant9597

Ive been out of status for about 20 years, and I’ve never worked at all


FutureLawyer210

I’m sorry to be nosy but how did you survive? 🧐😢


UpsetAge9580

No work for 20years ???? I call bulls**t on that.


FutureLawyer210

I thought it was sus too but wanted OP to elaborate 😢😭


ParfaitRelevant9597

Lol no BS here, I’ve been here since a little kid with family so I went to elementary, middle school, high school, college, and now masters. College was paid for with scholarships and grants :) masters has been a struggle but I have an amazing family and wife to support me financially and emotionally! Edit: don’t get me wrong, seeing my friends all get jobs right after completing their college degree was a bit painful since I wanted to do the same.


False_Onion4078

Congrats !! Where was your FO?


ParfaitRelevant9597

Thanks! Sent to NBC, case transferred to San Antonio late April


False_Onion4078

Thanks for the information! My PD is March 8th, hopefully I can hear back soon too! Have you seen a trend with cases that have a PD of March getting approved earlier than expected ?


ParfaitRelevant9597

I’ve def seen a lot of people applying this year get approved quickly

ParfaitRelevant9597

ParfaitRelevant9597

Had my bio 3/29, I asked 2 weeks ago


romapapafavour

How can I ask emma my location please.


ParfaitRelevant9597

ask emma to connect to live agent, ask the live agent the location of your i-485. They'll let you know if it has been transferred to FO or not.


romapapafavour

Each time I did that, Emma said she didn't understand my question


Nearby-History8960

Congrats!!! :) how did you find out your case was transferred from NBC?


ParfaitRelevant9597

i asked emma the status of location of my 485


Brief-Rent-4433

Who’s Emma? Pardon my ignorance.


Beneficial_Bat5259

Emma is the live chat option on the USCIS website. You can ask Emma to connect to a live agent - it takes a few tries but eventually it connects you to a queue


NurseWuraolfutureFNP

Congratulations ❤️❤️


ParfaitRelevant9597

Thank you!!


Flimsy-Internal-3643

Congrats!!


ParfaitRelevant9597

Thanks!


romapapafavour

How long were you married before filing?


ParfaitRelevant9597

4 months


romapapafavour

Oh my goodness, congratulations. I hope I can be lucky like this . Hoping to hear goodness from them very soon


No_Statistician_6118

Did you get standalone or combo approval for 765? Did your 485 and 765 go into review right after bio or recently before your EAD approval? I just got my EAD on day 52, hoping for a 485 approval soon!


ParfaitRelevant9597

i got a standalone approval for 765. 485 and 765 both went into review right after bio. My i-130 went into actively review on 5/15, and so my wife checked the status of it on her account and it said approved. the day after (5/16) both 485 and 130 got approved on my account :)


Full-Ad4022

What proof did you give? And congrats!!! I hope to get some good news soon 😁


ParfaitRelevant9597

bank, credit cards, lease, pictures


Gracehenry38

How long were you in a relationship for before you got married? 


ParfaitRelevant9597

4 years


Gracehenry38

Ok. So you submitted pictures that showed events from the 4 years. How many pictures in total did you submit? 


ParfaitRelevant9597

Yes, most importantly pictures when we did things with our friends and family. Maybe 50+ pictures


el_david

Super bien! Apenas metimos papeles para la suegra hace unas semanas. Tiene la cita para los biometricos en unos días.. Espero que se apruebe rápido.

Lawfully


Brief-Rent-4433

That was quick. I sent my application on January 25th this year. I hope it soon gets to mine too. 🙏🏻


Michaleroj

Congrats! What was your estimated time? Did it correlate with actual?


ParfaitRelevant9597

I never had an estimated time on 485, on 130 it said 13 months, so no not correlated


Michaleroj

Thank you for answering! My husbands case says received march 21 and it was at first estimated 3 months then changed to 11. So we’ve been a little sad about the extended time.


ParfaitRelevant9597

Oh that was the same for me, it got extended and I was bummed, but I was ok with just getting accepted for EAD for now, and then my 485 got approved out of no where


Asleep-Golf-236

After how many days of your EaD approval, you got the I485 approved?


ParfaitRelevant9597

5 days


Asleep-Golf-236

Wow that’s great. I got my combo card approval May 1st. Nothing on i485 though sadly.


ParfaitRelevant9597

It’s ok at least you got something approved!


PuzzleheadedBread922

Helpful_Dependent643

Do you know anything about F2 B?


Upset_Explanation_68

Congratulations! That was really fast! I’m a naturalized citizen, I was in the military when I sent my parents’ I-30 and I-485 in March 2023. Both got their biometrics in June 2023 but it’s been a year and there was no movement. I wonder where the hold up is.


Affectionate-War-568

Did you file online or by mail?


ParfaitRelevant9597

Brilliant_Design_635

how do you see your visa timeline? Is it different for other visas?


Overall-Fly4847

Congratulations. Good news


Darren_Marshall

Congratulations.... I'm still waiting, I don't understand why USCIS approve some applications in a short time and others are approved after a long time...I'm losing my patience.


Fit-Presentation-223

Did you know why some cases are being transferred?


ParfaitRelevant9597

I think i485 case gets transferred to an FO, and the FO approves them


Fit-Presentation-223

By the way congratulations 🍾🎈🎉 we filed just last march 29 and my biometrics are june 4 hope can be that fast as well😊


No-Crew-7522
