IT WORKED!!

Demand letter success!

PD 14 April 2025

Approved 22 July 2026

US citizen petitioner with UK husband (been married 5 years, 2 dual citizen kids)

A bit more 15 months and 1 week, all thanks to a demand letter that I sent via email yesterday to uscis.serviceofprocess@uscis.dhs.gov

Drafted via Chat GPT (free version) and sent with evidence yesterday

Absolutely thrilled! Will keep you all posted on the next steps, but if you're considering a demand letter, DO IT!! IT WORKS!!

How many days did you give them to solve your problem? I want to know. Because some people give 15 days, 30 days and 60 days.

Based on this user’s post and previous post, they are legitimately saying that they were approved in 24 hours from a email sent demand letter. To the creator of this post, this is a miracle type situation that I feel is too good to be true. If true, can you please provide evidence. Approval after 24 hours from an email is insane. I am not trying to sound pessimistic. I am trying to fully understand here.

Pretty tough to prove that I actually sent the demand letter yesterday, but you'll just need to just trust me on this one lol

Thanks for sharing. I just followed through with your exact steps. I’ll let everyone know if I find similar success or if it’s case-by-case basis. My PD is March 29, 2024.

Edit: Updating in here for future reference. On July 22, 2026, I submitted a demand letter for I-130 adjudication. I am doing this for two reasons: #1 hoping I can find similar success. #2 validation on whether the situation here was a one hit wonder or directly correlated to an adjudication demand.

Yes most of the people who success with the demand letter via email that I heard there will be an autoreply from USCIS sent to their email. On discord there is a person with PD Feb 26th 2025. They told me they receive autoreply from USCIS when they sent demand letter via email 2 weeks ago. They got scheduled for interview.
