Looking for advise from someone who has obtained greencard through marriage to another greencard holder.

Is it necessary to maintain non immigrant status after filing of AOS? I will be adjusting from B1 business visa.

I just got notice to do interview next month at Santa Ana FO.

Pd Oct 2025.

Anyone recently had interview experience at Santa Ana?
I heard they do separate interviews with their spouse and also check your phone?

Thank you

Hi everyone! I’m looking to hear from people who have been in a similar immigration situation and successfully received their green card.

Here’s a little background on my case:
Entered the U.S. legally on an F-1 student visa.
Applied for asylum in 2020 while still on OPT. My asylum application is still pending.
Applied for TPS in 2021 and was approved.
Married a lawful permanent resident (LPR).
Filed my marriage-based I-485 in April 2025 while my TPS was valid.
My husband has applied for naturalization, but his N-400 is still pending.

Has anyone with pending asylum successfully adjusted status through marriage to an LPR rather than a U.S. citizen?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who also had TPS or experienced a gap between their previous immigration status and TPS approval.

I’d love to hear about your experiences, timelines, and whether your adjustment of status was approved.

I’m seeking professional legal advice as well, but hearing real success stories from people in similar situations would mean a lot.
Thank you!

Anyone got their i 130 with pd 2025 F2A category?? Via consular processing only

Hello My case status on the main myUSCIS portal hasn't changed, but when I look at the raw API data (⁠case-service/api/cases/⁠), the ⁠updatedAt⁠ field changed to October 13, 2026.
My Timeline:
Priority Date: August 13, 2026
I-485 & I-765 Submitted: August 21, 2026
Biometrics Scheduled/Completed: September 18, 2026
EAD (I-765) Approved: October 01, 2026

Has anyone had back-to-back API updates like this shortly after EAD approval? Did this mean your file was being transferred to your local FO, or was an interview/RFE coming up next?

Hi everyone!

I'm hoping someone here has experienced something similar because even my lawyer hasn't seen a case quite like mine. I'll try to keep it short. Location: San Francisco.

My timeline:

• 2020: Applied for asylum and waited 5 years for an interview.
• Feb 2025: Got married.
• Aug 2025: Applied for marriage-based AOS (I-130 and I-485).
• Nov 2025: Asylum interview scheduled, but my asylum lawyer successfully postponed it to prioritize my marriage case.
• Jan 2026: Attended my marriage-based AOS interview. Everything went smoothly, but both cases remained pending with no decision.
• Feb 2026: Apparently, my A-file was transferred to the Asylum Office (I only found this out later).
• July 2026: Asylum interview rescheduled. My lawyer tried to postpone it again, but asylum office refused. I attended, and my asylum was approved on July 31!
• July & Sept 2026: Requested congressional inquiries regarding my pending marriage-based AOS.

Here's where things get confusing.

In September, I received this response from USCIS through my congressional representative:

"Our records reflect that the constituent's A-file has been with the Asylum Office since February 2026. On July 31, 2026, he was granted asylum.
His A-file will be returned to the San Francisco Field Office in due time. Please note that the family-based Form I-485 is well within normal processing times."

My questions are:

1. Does this mean USCIS hasn't been processing my marriage-based AOS because the Asylum Office has my A-file?
2. Why hasn't the Asylum Office returned my file after approving my asylum? Is there any way to contact them and request that they send it back?
3. I'm now at 14 months since filing my AOS and almost 9 months since my marriage interview. Should I consider sending a demand letter, or is there something else I can do?

I know I can apply for a green card based on asylum one year after approval, but I've already invested so much time, money, and energy into my marriage-based AOS that I really want to see it through. And also I know the green card based on asylum is taking years to get resolved.

I'm honestly exhausted and extremely anxious. After almost 7 years dealing with immigration, I find myself waking up in the middle of the night just to check my USCIS account.

Has anyone experienced something similar, especially having asylum and marriage-based AOS pending at the same time?

Any advice or personal experiences would mean a lot. Thank you!

Green Card not produced

My wife’s Interview was on October 1, 2026 at Newark, NJ in the F2A category.

I130 - Approved - October 1, 2026 (Same Day)
I485 - Approved - October 2, 2026 (Next Day)

Today is October 17, 2026 and her card still has not been produced.

Can anyone else please share their delayed timelines?

Already reached out to Emma and it has been useless as they say it can take 30 days.

A lot of people who interviewed on the same day or even after have received their cards in a week maximum.

Thank you!
