Case was approved :') PD: 9/6/2018
I finally got my green card... kind of hard to believe, since I basically gave up on it after the 1.5 year mark. My life for the past 2 years revolved around waiting for it. I was scared to travel (didn't leave the US once), waited forever for my EAD, was anxious about work/EAD expiring, then the processing times went 3x over the pandemic...
Reading people's experiences on this forum kept me sane this whole time, so naturally I had to share my journey with you.

Here's my info:

Marriage-based to USC. Chinese citizen.

First service center: Newark, NJ
9/6/2018 - PD, submitted i-485, i-130, i-765
1/13/2019 - RFE for i-485 asking for more financial documents. I replied immediately.
4/12/2019 - Expedite request for EAD through congressman (to start work as a doctor in non-profit hospital)
4/13/2019 - EAD being produced, received card 1 week later.

7/1/2019 - Change of address to Queens, NY
7/30/2019 - Ready to be scheduled for interview
8/5/2019 - Interview scheduled
9/10/2019 - Had interview in Manhattan. All went well, but was NOT approved on spot. No such thing I guess.
11/10/2019 - 1st SR, no updates
1/10/2020 - EAD renewal submitted
2/10/2020 - EAD renewal approved. New card in production, received 2 weeks later.
3/1/2020 - 2nd SR, no updates

6/20/2020 - Change of address to Philadelphia, PA
6/25/2020 - 3rd SR, "Your case is being delayed blah blah necessary security checks"
7/19/2020 - MY BDAY
7/20/2020 - New card is being produced (were they trolling me this whole time?)
7/22/2020 - Case was approved

Processing time: 22.5 months. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones. Now it's up to like 36.

* One theory I have is that changing your address and service center location may trigger something to happen to your case. Happened to me, but just a theory.

To everyone who's still waiting: Hang in there! I flat out gave up and was planning my life back in my home country already... this process is just cruel.

Seattle ASC office Biometrics
We submitted our package on 2/21. Did not get a biometrics appointment before shutdown. No updates on i130, 485, or 765. Only communication received was the courtesy letter for medical. Just noticed our local field office just updated Google 2 days ago with new office hours. Right now it seems they will only be open on Tuesdays 8am to 4pm. Hoping things get better soon

i485 and i693 medical exam
I mailed my i485 on July 13th, 2020 after I got my i130 approved. I read I also have to take the i693 medical exam and there's 3 ways to file it... send it along with i485 which I cannot do it's too late, send it after I get a receipt for i485, or bring it to interview. I made an appointment for August 10th, 2020. I want to get it done as soon as possible. I was wondering how you guys did the i693 process and do you think it slowed down or speeded up the case mailing it instead of bringing it to the interview? I just don't want to get a RFE because I heard getting a RFE delays the case since they give you time to provide more evidence.

DACA- TODAY IS A SAD DAY FOR DACA RECIPIENTS
Hey guys today is a bad day for Daca recipients. Daca is currently under review and due to push backs from the administration on daca, Dhs is immediately suspending and will deny all intial requests for Daca. Plus they will also be denying all ead and advance parole applications based on Daca; and the length of daca has been reduced from 2 years to 1. Talk about putting a group of people in Limbo. To all Daca recipients stay strong. Here is a link on the announcement. It is also on uscis homepage as well.
