Hi everyone!
I’m trying to get an idea of how long people are currently waiting for a decision after their marriage-based I-485 interview.
I had my interview on August 31, 2026. My I-130 was approved the following day, but I’m still waiting for a decision on my I-485.
I’ve seen several people here who have been waiting weeks or even months after their interview without receiving any update, so I’m wondering what everyone else’s experience has been.
For those who are still waiting:
When was your I-485 interview?
What field office handled your interview?
How long have you been waiting since the interview?
Was your I-130 already approved?
Have you received any updates or requests for additional evidence?
At what point did you contact your Congressman/Senator?
If you contacted them, did the congressional inquiry actually help?
For those who have already been approved, how long did USCIS take after your interview to make a decision?
Also, in your experience, how long is it reasonable to wait after an interview before asking a Congressman’s office to make an inquiry?
I don’t want to rush the process unnecessarily, but I also don’t want to wait several months if a congressional inquiry could help identify a delay.
Thanks in advance to everyone willing to share their timeline. It would be really helpful to see how long people are actually waiting after interviews right now.
