Congrats Zenzone!

Question: To those who have received GC after 180 days of AOS, what are your thoughts on job change within ~3 months of receiving it. Whether this will have any impact during naturalization interview process?

I hear mixed reviews about it. I think changing jobs within the same employer should be just fine while changing employers also tends to mostly fine but some people had questions during naturalizations from what I understand.

Thanks for the wishes and kind words folks, I wish you the very best of luck if you are not yet greened to get over the finish line soon!

Folks, my status got changed yesterday to new card being produced. Still waiting for spouse status update.....still in fingerprints received status.

The RFE response was mailed to the local field office on July 1st. Quick turnaround in less than a week.

Hopefully card arrives without much drama.

Friends,
Finally... After waiting 15+ years on Visa, my GC got approved.
I'm an silent viewer of this forum, did very few posts. Thanks everyone .
Best wishes for everyone who's waiting for GC. Hoping the wait time will be reduced and most of us will be greened soon with spillovers.

Ace, I am loudly thinking about the exit strategy and a GC for Oct 2020 filers. The processing time for I-485 in TSC is 25.5 months (2 years) to 50 months (4 years). This means that you cannot open a Service Request next year for expediting. It is crazy. Don't know how you guys are going to push for a GC next year. If the application went to a local center, then Newark, NJ has 18 months mean processing time (I had to look in grenncardly.com for a friend). The applications that went to local ASC's should get approved before Oct 2022 for sure. Don't know what the TSC guys with downgrade are going to do.

Sanders? early budget proposal also called for $126 billion for processing immigrants for legal status. Hope is a good thing. Stay positive. Something will open up.
