Good news! Finally after over 6 weeks of waiting after the RFE and no online updates, my mom's green card was finally approved. Last Friday, the status changed to RFE received, application continued processing. After I checked it again this morning, the status changed to I-485 application approved!

Still no updates after almost month the sealed Form I-693 was delivered to the field office. I really worry that it might have been lost or misplaced amongst heaps of other mail they get daily there at the office. Should I just keep waiting for another week or more or upload a letter on my...

Noone has any suggestions?

Hi everyone, It's been a while since I last posted on this forum. My mother has been waiting for her green card for over a year now. My I-130 got finally approved for her and she got an RFE for Form I-693 (medical exam form) early August to complete processing her I-485. Since we already had...

I got some really great news to share - my daughter's greencard arrived today!!! I did all the paperwork myself back mid-November and it really took quite fast to get through the whole process without any RFE, interviews or other bumps that are not uncommon. I did call the real immigration...

Sounds like I do need a real attorney.

Sure, makes total sense. It was a brief free phone call, not a full consultation, I could not really demand all the benefits for free. This attorney's contact information was given to me by a friend and she knew some people who got success with him. I just don't want to share the details. But...

Does that mean that the attorney is not really familiar with FTJ or something? Thanks TheRealCanadian.

I spoke to the immigration attorney today which was recommended to me by some friend of mine. He said that my daughter has high chances of success and I can apply myself or go through his firm, either way is fine. There may be questions asked by USCIS. When he cited the processing fees of $1490...

Thanks a lot everyone. I will look for a good lawyer in my area first thing on Monday to schedule a consultation.

Oh oh, I find that disturbing.

Oh oh, I find that disturbing.

TheRealCanadian - thank you, just to clarify that there should be no limit for FTJ dependents like in my case? If not, they cannot legally deny I-485. Am I still missing something maybe?
