Edit: sorry, I meant I-130 and I-485 under active review, with I-765 still ‘submitted’

[Dori05]

Congrats to everyone who has had interviews.

anyone else in my boat - nothing since biometrics on 10/29, just stuck under ‘actively reviewing’ for I485 and I765, with I-I30 completely stuck under ‘submitted? Boston FO but IOE receipt number. Have not been able to successfully speak to a live agent who would tell me anything.

If you want to ask an agent write to “Ask Emma” and ask for a live agent. There you will be able to talk to an agent.

So I did my Biometrics for I-765 October 2021 and have not received an update since the status last updated to "Received Biometrics on...". So I decided to contact USCIS to ask them to expedite same. I chose to use the "Contact Emma" option and a live agent told me that I didn't need to make a request to expedite because just today, the case moved to adjudication. Now when I asked him when can I expect to receive a decision, he told me that there was no time frame and that I would just have to wait. Can anyone else tell me what's the wait time like after it has been move to adjudication?

Also, the agent also advised that my I-485 moved to the interview queue however they have not yet sent out or updated the case status to interview scheduled.

My processing center is USCIS Electronic Immigration system (IOE)

BIG UPDATE

Received update that the EAD card was being produced on February 28th. Then it moved to Card produced and case closed on March 3rd. Also on March 3rd, card was picked up by USPS and tracking number issued. Tracking update says I should get it by Monday March 7th.

AOS (for immediate relative)
Application Sent to Chicago Lockbox

My Timelines:

7/21/21 - Package sent (Filed I130, I485, I131 at the sametime)
07/29/21 - Received text messages for applications received and cheque cashed
8/03/21 - Received NOAs in mail (Receipt IOE, Processing at NBC)
01/07/22 - Bio completed - Status Updated "Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS"

Still waiting for next steps. Not sure why it has been taking so long for immediate relatives.
Also, tried talking with Agent via Emma chat but they couldn't provide more insight.

I was tracking other forums to understand timelines from similar cases...Looks like for immediate family it's fairly quick.

Is there anyone in the same boat?

[cfuru]

Interview was scheduled today!! I don’t know when it is, but there is hope!
