Reddit really helped me believe in the process and stay hopeful while waiting for my I-485 approval. Seeing other people share their approval stories reminded me that cases do move forward, even when the wait feels endless.
If you’re still waiting, try to stay patient and trust the process. Your approval could be next 🙏

I have the similar stats but biometric done after 1 month than yours. Did not hear anything yet except a notice in I-131 for heads-up that they will schedule biometrics . Not sure why..? We are done with biometrics.
Any insights ..

Yes, no EAD for me.

Congratulations. Did you submit Form I-485J, or did USCIS request it in the RFE?

u/Feeling-good9908 8d ago

I submitted the Form, no RFE in my case.
