Sharing Experience - GOOD Experience
Hello All,
I have been a frequent user / visitor (at one point too much). I know there are a lot of people with hard and tough experiences here but I wanted to share a positive one in case someone new is just hoping to see if there have been cases without too many hardships.

Details -

L1 Visa (me), L2 Visa (spouse) with Expiration on 3/29/18.
Receipt Date for filing I485 along with I767, I131 = Jan 29
Notice Date for above = Feb 7
All with Texas Service Center
Biometrics = Feb 26
Infopass appointment on March 8 to ask for expedite - I had letter from Company President, Financial Documents showing mortgage, childcare, car loans etc.
March 9 - Got a call from USCIS officer saying they are NOT expediting my case and it can take upto 6 months.
March 30, Me and spouse are off work as Visa expired.
Tough times ahead but we tried to make the most of it.
April 4 - Status online changed to Biometrics Reviewed. Still processing. No updates on decision.
April 25 - Another Infopass appointment asking for hardship expedite. Officer less helpful saying nothing can be done. Standard answer that it can take upto 6 months.

Contemplated going to Congressman and was looking into this. Did not follow through because...

April 30 - Online Status update - Card is in Production

May 3 - Approval Notice Received

May 9 - Card Recieved

I am hoping to rejoin work shortly as soon as next payroll cycle comes in. My wife lost her job due to this gap as her small company had to find a replacement.

Overall it has been a tough time but my message to people is to retain faith. Good things will happen.
90 days seems to be the minimum number these days.

Good luck to all. Be patient. You will get it. It is a hard time but hope is important.
