Wishing good luck to all waiting in the queue.
    Congratulations, @Fordium. Can you please provide the timeline for your case - fingerprint, EAD/AP, any RFEs, medicals, etc.?

    RD - Oct 2020
    Biometrics - Mar 2021
    EAD/AP -June 2021
    ER raised for 485 - Aug 2021
    Medicals RFE - Sep 2021
    RFER - End of Sep 2021
    485 approval - Nov 15 2021

    In between raised multiple ER's for EAD/AP and 485. Recently (early Nov) raised the issue with senator, Not sure which one worked but eventually the case was approved. Moral of the story : Keep chasing uscis until you see the end of the tunnel.

    Also sincerely wishing good luck to all still waiting, it should come soon for everyone.

    Best regards,

    We are right now in a winter wonderland as a lot of old timers have gotten their GCs and moved on. So the forum is a bit inactive. Then spring comes, new experts emerge and they help others. I am honestly just a gatekeeper and do occasionally answer what I can !

    Congratulations Ace! thats awesome news! The wait for the interview must have been very excruciating but seems like the interviewer made up for it by approving you before you got out of the building!

    Thanks Q, inspired, suninphx and bangaloreboy.

    I would say very relieved. I am also very happy that I can count on reliable people who got greened this year in 2026 for N-400 questions.

    I have to say special thanks to Spec, Idliman, YT, sportsfan, vsivarama, ak, android and lot of other fellow passengers who shared their wisdom during my time here in the forum.

    Finally greened after 15 years of coming to this country!! This forum has been a constant source of information and inspiration to me for more than a decade .
    Q, Spec, AceMan and other experts have guided so many of us here with their pearls of wisdom!

    My PD (5/23/2011 EB2-I) became current as per July bulletin this year. I didn't file for downgrade last year (fortunately in hindsight).
    I sent in the I-693,I-131,I-765,I-485J forms along with my I-485 application and it went to NBC luckily.

    Below is the timeline for me and my wife:-

    RD - July 2021
    Biometrics - Aug 2021
    I 485J receipt - Sep 2021
    Case Sent to Field Office - Nov 2021
    485 approval - Dec 15 2021

    Yayyy! What are the odds right I remember asking you for advice on what all forms I should submit with my I-485 application this July.
    Your prediction was accurate! I got my GC approved without the EAD/AP approval
