I-485, EAD I-765 time processing 235+ days

[max23]

Hi all, just wanted to share my case so far:

I'm married to a LPR, I submitted my I-485 along with the I-765 (Category C09) on Oct last year

Received Date: October 04, 2017
Notice Date: October 12, 2017

Notice for Biometrics Appointment: October 20, 2017
Biometrics Taken: November 8, 2017

Since October my 765 case (with National Benefits Center) has been stuck in:

"Case Was Received
On October 4, 2017, we received your Form I-765... "

--
Since October my 485 case has been stuck in:

"Fingerprint Fee Was Received
On October 11, 2017, we accepted the fingerprint fee for your Form I-485, ..."


According to USCIS website the processing times for I-765 is currently 4-6 months for family based, I am almost now 8 months (235 days) and still waiting for my EAD or any update, I've read the forums and there are several users saying they've been waiting for 200+ days, anyone has been stuck on "This case was received" or "Fingerprint was received" for so long? is it normal?

Thanks all, and good luck!

Hi, those processing dates are for adjusting when married to USC. For LPR you must wait for an immigrant visa to become available which could take much longer.

you can't file an Adjustment Of Status unless your visa is available.

On Sept 2016 my I-130 was approved (F2A), my date became current (available I assume) on Oct. 2018 is that what you are referring to?

@Sam Archi My I-130 F2A Application was approved on Sept. 2016 and my priority date became current on Oct 2018 is that what you mean by "unless your visa is available"?

And yes, we have the same date Oct 4 I will keep you posted, please do the same yourself
Would you mind sharing what's the current state of your I-485 and I-765 on USCIS website? Are you getting a Case was received too?
Thx.

I'm at 263 days or 8.5 months for c(9) EAD and no online info available. Fingerprints done in end of September. Get a validation error when try to check case status, so I've been relying on calling the 1800 number. What you're experiencing is normal. Last week, one of the USCIS officers on level 2 told me to "blame the president" for long processing times, but she also appeared to be in a crappy mood.

Level 1 told me today that normal processing is about 5-6 months, more in certain locations (cali, NJ, NY).

It's been 2 weeks and haven't received any update nothing, NADA! :S it's very frustating...


Also my out of processing time request via phone has not been answered or anything.

I'll keep you updated too, Thanks.

You need to contact your congressman or woman and see if they can assist you. USCIS seem to speed things up when politicians are involved.

Keep your hopes Up!

I'm sorry to hear that @Sam Archi, but I hope you are able to solve whichever the issue was and will have your case approved soon 🙏

Did you expedite your case with congressman or a job offer? I still haven't received any update on my case, Thanks for updating me on your case.
