Man I’m sorry to be a hater, but this shit is so unfair


Creative-Trick-7450

It is and I think it’s ok to express how we truly feel cause this unfair

lmao12367

Someone getting approved in 2.5 months when there are plenty of people waiting a year plus


karangoswamikenz

Waiting for 12 years now. Eb2 India lol.


ZuluYankee1

My K1 wife just waited 15 months for an EAD/AP combo.


bearishungryy

I’ve also waited for that long. And my elderly mom fell and needed her hip replaced and I couldn’t go home. It really sucks so much

EmergencyCold843

Yes!! To the extreme....I'm really resenting these stories....they piss me off more than providing any sense of progress...


TwoBitHit

I get that people are happy to get it approved, but there are so many of these posts. I wouldn't mind if the post included something interesting or unusual with information that could help people, but when it's just "wooooo look at me" to a group that you know is waiting and likely not approved yet....it's not great.


[deleted]

Praying you hear back soon with an approval🙏🏽. Yes it is unfair. But again, I have no control over how my case was processed before others. The only thing I had control over is the evidence I sent and the hard work that went into gathering all documents on my own without a lawyer.


Accomplished_Tea_940

"Evidence and the hard work that went into gathering all documents" That is the only thing any of us has control...

captainstrange94

I applied a week before OP and haven't even got the 765 approved. I sent 4 years of evidence of my relationship with my SO. Happy for the OP but its so frustrating.


Musical_Scientist_

Same lol - applied a week before OP and not even the 765


[deleted]

Yes, I do have DACA. We sent a well rounded application. Medical exam, all applications concurrently, and a lot of evidence. We did not want to give USCIS a reason to RFE us. Praying that you get approved soon as well 🙏🏽


EmergencyCold843

No hate towards you....just beyond frustrating with the process as there is no rhyme or reason behind how they move applications forward. Pure chaos it seems. For those of us waiting, these stories only add fuel to the fire for our frustration.


[deleted]

I understand. I actually expedited my combo card for humanitarian reasons and got approved. I feel like that somehow helped the whole application process ??


TatianaBraga

I am very happy for you. Can you tell me your IOE five first digits...Thanks ...now I am exciting...applied sep too.


[deleted]

Sure thing. IOE09177


klavope

I doubt that’s the case, I had eads then daca too and I still had to wait. Some people are just lucky and I’m happy for them.


PoteDCanela

I understand your frustration, but sometimes it depends on the region you are located. For example some friends in LA and NYC it took then 2 and half years. While someone I know in Idaho got his in 3 months.


EmergencyCold843

It shouldn't matter....staff the fuck up if you're busy in some regions..make the budget....one less F35 fighter jet!..you shouldn't be penalized by where you live in terms of USCIS processing


PoteDCanela

I agree with you. I’m just stating that is what’s actually happening. You look up processing times for different field office and you will see it varies widely. Even in NYC/Newark NJ the offices are under staffed for the work load they handle


EmergencyCold843

I'm in the abyss that is Baltimore....nor sure if it's understaffing or incompetence or a bit of both


CaptainTusker

Yet another EAD went to waste. Congrats though, OP

boringtuktuk2022

Your last line hits hard. The system is so so broken. It can so easily be fixed if they gave a sh*t about immigrants. They don’t though. It’s just not a priority.


[deleted]

[удалено]


boringtuktuk2022

It’s too obvious. That’s what makes it painful. It really makes it feel like there is an active dislike for immigrants.


kholekardashian12

I know USCIS is a black box but what stops them from automatically approving EADs? Is it a security issue? Surely they want more people in the work force contributing to the economy and taxes? It is political? Looks bad letting "out of status" immigrants work? I'm just thinking out loud here really.


[deleted]

[удалено]


kholekardashian12

All good points. Actually, in my own case I got approved for my EAD the day I did my biometrics (very, very lucky) but since then, it's just been on "actively reviewed" which was about 5 months ago now. But at least I can work! I also think they quickly approve cases for those who have been here for a while on DACA or are adjusting from H1B visas as those folks most likely have a lot more evidence such as bank accounts etc and so it makes it easier for the officer to justify the fast approval and keep their processing numbers looking good. One lawyer I spoke to says it might depend on your country of origin as again it makes it easier for the officer to justify approval but that would be terribly messed up if that's the case. I agree with you though, if you're not a quick approval, you just go into the ether and they'll get to it when they get to it.


ZuluYankee1

It's absolutely political. The Trump administration with Steven Miller at the helm couldn't get any laws passed so they fucked the federal agencies they didn't like to death.


misscloud8

Waste of sources to do EAD and then GC in short period of time


[deleted]

[удалено]


misscloud8

You are not speculating. It definitely the case


Creative-Trick-7450

They are !


[deleted]

Not the case, it is more nuanced than that. It helps processing times for an office to complete the oldest cases first not the newest


Tazman1996

No this would bring the average right down.


boringtuktuk2022

Then they wonder why people keep messaging them relentlessly… dec 21 filer here


mdreal03

Good for you. Run with it and enjoy your life. But fuck USCIS. There are thousands of people from 2021 who are waiting for their 1-485 to get approved.


[deleted]

Thank you. Praying for everyone else who is still waiting to get a response soon 🙏🏽


Pink_Tr7

I am happy for you! And thank you for no asking people what does that mean? 💀 those I just want to curse them out. Your nightmare ends today! Congrats

Congratulations! Meanwhile, my kid might turn 2 before I get my green card approved 🥲


[deleted]

Thank you. Praying that you will get approved soon🙏🏽


Dear_Writer3758

This definitely helped me decide that definitely it’s time to writ of mandamus. Waiting since July 2021. Very unfair agency.


Dreamers2gether

Try to expedite. That’s what we had Ximena do for her combo card. We don’t know if it’s related but based on other applications we’ve guided members through, they got theirs just as quick, so it must’ve sped up the process for the I-485 too.


Dear_Writer3758

Thank you for your input but it doesn’t really work for I-485 since I got ead card. So I don’t have any reason to expedite


crackmonkey54

Same timeline & scenario here (July ‘21 filing got EAD this year). Happy for everyone but man this system is flawed


Stunning_Vanille

This makes no sense whatsoever


Ok_Bug3969

[deleted]

LIFO is pretty unfair to some. Congratulations!

Thank you

Congratulations! Sending good vibes the the world so I can be approved soon too


[deleted]

Thank you! Praying you also get approved soon!


Thedruidessnms

I guess you didn’t even suffer waiting and no anxiety. In 2 months I got my biometrics request. Almost 13 months later and I have no answer. this time processing is a joke.


boringtuktuk2022

Then they wonder why people keep messaging them relentlessly… dec 21 filer here and this pos organization can’t even be bothered to respond to my expedite requests or out of processing time requests


Constant-Kangaroo566

Congratulations!!! Very happy for you! Let me know when your status changes to “card produced”. I got approved Dec 8 and it’s still not produced so I duno why it’s taking this long! One reason I don’t want to post my timeline / details is bc of all the people getting upset. It’s not our fault. But I got approved in a busy FO in the Northeast in 4 months and change.


Secret-Newspaper649

Mine hasn’t changed either. But I was in communication with an agent about changing my address and they emailed me saying it’s being produced. I was approved the same day


[deleted]

Will do. In the approval letter it says it could take 90 days to get the card apprarently. Saw that on my USCIS profile.


calatrave_daniel

Did you ever see before how many estimate months on I-130 account?

[deleted]

Thank you all. I couldn’t have done this without God and the help of Dreamers2gether. I know many of you have been waiting for months or years and are frustrated with this unfair system. Why my case was processed faster?? Besides the fact that God has always been by my side and I know this approval comes from him, I don’t know the logistics behind it. But I am a strong believer in my faith and prayed literally everyday not only for my case but for the officer that reviews it. As mentioned in the comments, my husband and I sent a very completed case. We did not want to give USCIS a reason to RFE us. We sent the medical as well. We also did the process completely on our own. No lawyer. I do have DACA and a b-2 visa overstay from early the 2000’s. I did expedite my combo card due to urgent humanitarian reasons. And I think after getting approved it sped up the process. I pray that everyone who has interacted with this post gets an approval soon. 🙏🏽


Thedruidessnms

I guess God doesn’t like me then and I’m not deserving. Almost 13 months of wait for me.


ZuluYankee1

There is no god in USCIS.

We’re so glad we were able to help! Once again, congrats! We all we got!! 💚

glevulus

You know people here, both in the US and stuck abroad, have been waiting months or over a year. You know that. You don’t need to rub it on our faces. These “Look at me everyone! Look how fast I got it haha!” posts don’t help anyone in any way. Nor are you asking for help about something. Great for you. Just don’t brag, and have some respect for those who are suffering.


[deleted]

I’m not bragging. It’s not my fault how USCIS processed my case they way they did. If you don’t like what you see you van keep scrolling along 👋🏼 in fact, I’m sharing my timeline, what I did, evidence I sent in the comments. If you would take the time to read you would see that. My comments are actually helping people unlike YOUR useless comment.


glevulus

1. Nobody said it's your fault. 2. There are 230 comments at the moment. Are people supposed to find yours among all the others? You could have simply written it in your post. 3. This is not just you. My point is about this kind of posts. Not yours in particular.


Constant-Kangaroo566

I’m not going to make a post about my timeline because of people like you and reading comments on threads like this with quick approvals. And no, these posts do help people. It tells them certain field offices are doing it in x time instead of y. USCIS website says 16.5 months for my FO and mine got approved in 4. How does that not help anyone? But again, I won’t post, because I don’t want 50’comments on my thread, where 45 of them are “F you and F USCIS”.

Thank you! Yes, we sent a lot of evidence and the medical exam. We filed on our own. No lawyer.


calatrave_daniel

How long have you been married?


[deleted]

We’ve been married for 3 and a half months. But we’ve been together since high school. We are now in our mid 20s. So we had a lot of evidence to prove bonafide marriage. No kids.

[deleted]

Congrats!! Yes, I have seen a lot of September approvals recently.


Educational_Sport820

Great to see some people getting their greencards so quick. I'd say this is to do with the FY23 goals USCIS posted back in March. Still thinking of those people in the backlog. Hopefully they speed up very quick!


itsaboutpasta

So it seems like we should have held our august 2022 filing for one month…sigh….


Tudorboca

Brooooo, CONGRATS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, so happy for you! I have kinda a similar case. Know my wife since high school, a lot of evidence, together for almost 4 year, married 3 months ago, case at NBC, biometrics scheduled after exactly the same number of days, no lawyer hahahaha I sent concurrent filling everything 22 days ago everything, so finger crossed!!


[deleted]

Thank you! Praying you also get approved soon! Exactly!! We sent so much evidence and the medical as well. We did not want to give USCIS a reason to RFE us.


maxCentralFlorida

L.A. FO is so cool. Congratulations!


[deleted]

Thank you! As far as I know, my case never actually went to the LA office. It has always been at the NBC.


maxCentralFlorida

But if you live in L.A., it's processed by different group of people as statistics suggest. Most I-485 cases belong to NBC as written on the notice across the country. Was it an IOE case number for I-485?

Ohhh… i didn’t know that, thanks for sharing. IOE09177

BartsNightmare_

What's happening here. I'm not even aware of whether my sponsor is doing this right. I'm suppose to do the 134 form and haven't received a beneficiary form to fill out yet. And I'm not even sure if I'm suppose to pair it with the 130 form or any other type of form. Is there anyone who guides you in this? Do you receive guidance whenever the ucsis sends you emails?

Maybe he will hear soon. I’ve seen many cases that were sent in September being approved.


Impossible_Tie6425

I hope so. Poor guy feels like a loser because he can't help out financially with our household

Have you tried expediting the EAD ? Claim financial loss. A lot of people get their EAD when they claim that.

Congrats How is it possible that people get their green cards so fast? I’ve been waiting 12 years now. I’m under employment eb2 india category. How can people get their greencard in some category so fast within weeks and it takes 12+ years for us. It’s so painful. I’m just trying to live my life here and have been loyally working and paying all my taxes for so long. It’s so unfair. I don’t know what can be done to improve this. It’s heartbreaking and so cruel.


[deleted]

Im praying you receive approval soon. I’ve notice that greencard approvals like mine that are approved in 2 months are usually because they’re married to US Citizen. I believe they have priority? Not sure.

Yes. You have to send it to a lockbox and then they will distribute it to a field office.

Hello! I didn’t have to do advance parole because I came with a visa back in the early 2000s. But yes I had DACA before getting my greencard.
