waiting for decision on I-485, I130 forever
My PD was Dec 20, 2017. Seattle
 
after patiently waited for 19 months I had my interview on 08/01/2019.
Since then no answer or update on my case. I called Oct/20/2019 and asked my case is out of normal processing time.

November 03/2019, online status says my case is assigned to officer for response.
 it is going to be a month soon.
 
anyone has idea how long I'm gonna wait? BTW my case is through marriage based.

I just need some courage to wait for this waiting game.

Hope you regain hope after reading my experience
On Dec 21 uscis received my package

. After a month I received a letter stated that the post office had returned a mail that uscis sent me which delayed the process of my biometric appointment.

. On April I had my biometric done.

. In May- After a whole five months I received an RFE regarding the i 864 form, they were unable to process my case because they found some deficiencies about my joint sponsor.

.June- I responded to the RFE and expecting to get a positive answer.

August 9- Unfortunately I received a second RFE, they needed the most recent year of tax return and a deadline to a month otherwise my case will get denied. So I had to changed the joint sponsor.

.Sept 19 great news. The I 765 (EAD) was approved and get the EAD card a week later.

Next day. I 485 updated to... Case is being schedule for interview.

Oct 5- updated to case is ready for interview, and received a mail about my interview for Nov 7

Nov 7. My wife and I attended the interview. In Newark NJ. The officer was nice!
But handed me a letter at the end of the interview saying that my case is held for review. I was devastated so was my wife.

Nov 9- case updated to Interview was completed and must be reviewed. That had me going insane by not knowing of how long this will take.

Bingo!! Nov 15- case updated to New card is being produced.

Now I’m just waiting patiently for the actual Green Card and praying for people that are going through the same situation as me because I know it is frustrating and stressful. Keep praying Jehovah have faith. Matthew 7:7

I’m here for any questions!!

Interview schedule question
Hi friends,

On November 1, 2019, I saw an update on my I-485 application that the case was ready to be scheduled for interview. However, it's been 2 weeks and I have not received anything in mail regarding that. I don't expect it to take longer than this for delivery. Is it possible that USPS lost my mail? What are steps should I take to address the issue?

Thank you.

Reschedule biometrics
Anyone who has had to reschedule your biometrics appointment, could you please let me know when it was rescheduled to? A few weeks after, or over a month? I received my appointment letter today, and it is scheduled on a day when I'm out of town. Before changing my flights and coming back earlier, I want to check how long the wait might be to get a new appointment.
