It’s been 2 months now since my husband and I got reunited.I’m sure most people here would understand what I mean by being separated from your spouse for so long.He applied for the green card since 2019 because he lived in Germany and waited 3 years but didn’t get it until last year when I made research about it I was told there was a professional at the USCIS that could get it done and he got it in less than 3 weeks after I had to pay the service fee of $2000 to the whole process.And now it’s been the best few months of my life ☺️
Wow I’m happy for you I have been in the US couple of times, I got a non-immigrant green card some years back but now I want to switch to an immigrant green card and ever since I applied it’s been 2 years now and all they tell me whenever I give them a call is that they are done with 80% of the whole process so I don’t know why the 20% remaining is taking more time
¿Qué está pasando con el USCIS? Solicité la tarjeta verde recientemente, pero con lo que he escuchado de la gente, creo que necesitaría su ayuda para recomendarme al profesional que lo ayudó.
I submitted the 1-90 application for green card renewal in July 2020. Got my extension notice for 12 months. Did my biometrics in September 2021. My 12 month notice has already expired so now I am (like many others) in a bureaucratic limbo because my green card is expired, and my 12-month extension has expired too. I'm waiting for either the new green card or the 24-month extension to arrive in the mail, but so far nothing! I feel trapped! What should I do?
I have an expired green card. It already expired November of 2020. I've already applied for the renewal, and as of today I still haven't get my renewed green card. I got an extension letter for 12 months, and now 24 months. But as of November last year from November 2020 to that date it has been 24 months already. And I still haven't gotten my green card.How can I contact the professional who helped with yours?
7 years and we’re still waiting. Waiting 5 years now on removal of conditions. Waited so long my wife became eligible to file for citizenship, which is what we’re doing
It's been 22 months since I-751 and the 24 month extension is about to expire... time to call to setup an appointment for another extension... This is getting ridiculous
years or decades ago they would justified the increase in fees of the applications to make the uscis more efficient and hire more folks.It never happened.
I'm a US Citizen but I'm watching this video on behalf of my best friend who is waiting a green card on 2022 and is been 6 months already and is something we discussed here and there so I will also forward this video to him. Anyways your knowledge of the process makes common sense and logic so thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge. 🌺
@Tiny Water Droplet - I turned in my green card in September 2020 because it has an incorrect name. it's May 2022 now and I still haven't received my green card yet. It's a horrible feeling because you can't do anything without a green card.
I have been in the process backlog for 12 years and put my adjudication around 20 months ago. There has been complete radio silence since 13 months. Literally nothing. the process is excruciating as I am unable to take any action or travel.
This info is so helpful. I also read My United States Immigration Story by Andrianee Ray and found that very helpful. The process is listed in a step by step format and you are shown copies of the documents used.
My wife took her interview on nov, 2021 and she passed. They told her to wait 2 weeks to get her green card and stuff back. It is july, 2022 and still nothing yet.
I'm reading comments about guys crying because it takes six monts or two years. Men, i'm waiting for mine since 2016 and my father has been living in the U.S (he's a U.S citizen) for more than thirty years.
My green card has an incorrect name. It's been 2 years and 5 months and I haven't received my green card yet. I called them one time and ask some questions and they told me my green card will deliver in 16 days but it turns out they lied because it's been months and it hasn't come.
Hello and thanks for commenting. Unfortunately, they are still processing cases from 2015 for your category, so waiting is the only option at the moment. We completely understand the frustration. Hopefully the backlog reduces soon and your case moves forward.
Thank you for your amazing video! I live in Florida. Filed CR6 485 & 130 in July 2021 and interviewed May 2022. Then endless waiting so far. Interview was clear and straight forward. At the end of interview, officer told us he needs to issue RFE since my lawyer did not submit evidence through the website so we just need to upload those when we go back home. Then we did it but so far no decision. I am staying in the US with F-1 and have EB3 case denied due to interview no show. I was concerned if the delay is due to the denier. The lawyers that i asked said the category of greencard is totally different and it should not affect current 485 in negative way. Do you think my previous denied case will affect to my current case in negative way?
Hello and thanks for commenting. You can send us an email to info@hackingimmigrationlaw.com or give us a call 314 961 8200. We'll be glad to see if we can assist you with your case.
Make sure that the documents are submitted, not just uploaded. It’s a different status!!! There is a non intuitive way to submit, some kind of a button.
But what about the differences between local field offices? My case is sitting on somebody’s desk since this February after we were called in for an interview (the last step of the process) And not moving at all since then. My husband and I talked to a lawyer feeling nervous if something went wrong, and she said that she has several clients waiting for 1 or 2 years after the last interview, especially in the Baltimore field office. That was kind of assuring because our case is not exceptional, but puts us into a uncertain situation wondering when we can travel again 😢
So the bad news is that it will take forever for my wife to get her green card, but the good news is that I don't want to be an American or live in the United States anymore anyway. ...I probably shouldn't say that in the interview (or to my wife).

My best friend is 75 and has had a green card since 1950 (yes she should have become a citizen). Due to financial reasons she let her card expire in 2008. I helped her file and paid for the I-90 10 year renewal in January of 2022, she had her biometric appt March 2, 2022. At that time the processing time was 9 months. Now it is August 2023 and it says she can't even inquire until November 2023 - it was September 2022 originally. At this point, she has given up hope of getting it renewed. Her drivers license has expired and she can't get a license until her green card materializes. Her Italian passport also expired - yes she knows that is bad but again she had no money to renew it. Her social security is $800 a month. It just seems insane that this agency is still stuck in prehistoric technology in the year 2023.
Processing time should be a month and to make it that fast spend whatever money is necessary and get the immigrants to pay for it. They will be happy and we would have solved a decades old problem. This will also create jobs for thousands of Americans.
$2000, if it meaningfully speeds up the process, seems reasonable to me. I would imagine that most of these fees will be paid by US Citizen/permanent resident sponsors anyway, instead of immigrants. As long as it doesn't slow things down for people who don't pay the extra fees, I really don't see the harm here.
Well, if they have the money to pay USCIS to speed up the process then why not? In my country, Americans and whoever else wants citizenship / passport can go thru a program called 'CIP - Citizenship by Investment' and get their Passports and Citizenship certificates in about 3 months. The only thing that is required to activate it, is that passport holders must travel to the country, get their passports stamped, and take the Oath of Allegiance. From there, they are required every year or other year, I think... to spend at least a week here.
i live in Brooklyn NY And i got told I would get mine in 60 days! it's been 80 + now and nothing happend haven't even recieved my "welcome Letter" yet i lost hope :( it's just the fact that i can't even get a Job to support my self it's crazy !
I’m American born applied for a visa for my wife in 2019. I’ve had two kids since and still no sign on us getting a visa to enter the USA while living in a foreign land for 3 years until we can enter 😢
You got lucky. My wife got first green card with conditions in 2 years. At the 7 year mark, she still was waiting for removal of conditions. She started citizenship process December 2021 and we’re still waiting for appointment which the update says should be in 6 months from now. 5 years of waiting for removal of conditions. We’ll never know how long it was going to really take since she started naturalization process

You have a long road ahead of you, my friend. My wife and i applied for her GC in 2015. In 2 years she got her first GC with conditions. That GC expires after 2 years and you have to petition for removal of conditions which will then turn into the 10 year GC. We waited 5 years and still no update on removal of conditions. Waited so long that she became eligible to apply for citizenship before she even got her 10 year GC. She is in the process of citizenship now which should be a lot faster. We’ll never know how long the 10year GC was going to take. And we’re both 35 and look like a normal couple. Went on interviews, requests for more documentation, etc.
@@B-Killin i am in the same situation! But i wasnt sure if i can apply for citizenship withouth having received my 10 GC yet, i havent been interviewed yet either and they did my biometrics on march 2021, was your wife abke to get the citizenship without having received the 10 year gc? 🙏🙏
@@dawnrlln Its all behind us now. She became a US citizen in January 2023. Once you become eligible for citizenship, that was a lot faster than removing conditions of the Green Card. Although, i did write to my state representative to see if he could help speed things along. We were hitting wait times without updates on the citizenship process, so i wrote to him. I got a letter back from his office saying they will inquire about us to the immigration office. I kid you not, four weeks later my wife had an appointment date with immigration.

Jim, do you happen to be able to tell what’s going on in the SSA also? I entered the country on an immigrant visa in early February, got my green card a month and two weeks later and I thought that was long enough. But the social security card is taking even longer - I have not heard a thing from them and, despite having made more then 50 phone calls, I still don’t know what is up because different call gives different answer about the status of my card…
Im still waiting for my GC. I got denied 3 times already. Now im waiting for interview again but in my home country (im I-601 waiver now). Its been 197 days since my lawyer filed the docs. Im stressed about this situation and spend lots of money for lawyers. My boss wanted to fire me twice because of my situation of not being able to leave the country. I dont have EAD as it expired 4 yrs ago. Its so unfair for people didnt come illegal to this country but those who enter here illegally, the process of their papers is even faster. 😪

What about the renewal process for Green Card? I am waiting for a year now and still haven't received response. What is the "normal" processing time now?
My wife's is already 11 months waiting on her renewal card , everytime we check on status it keeps saying that they checking on it and that there is nothing outstanding, whatever that means if they need anything else will let us know, very slow process.
I went my interview may 12th 2022 (family based)and the officer said i approved your case and you’ll receive your green card in 2-3 weeks but I’m still waiting for my approval it’s been 13 months since my interview and I don’t know what to do.

How long does it take for millionaires to get their GC? I read an article that the rich and famous get through quicker which is wrong on so many levels
Hello please why my case status change to interview cancel same day that I attended my interview,I already attended the interview so why case status now saying interview cancel
So it's a 2 tier system.. One for the rich and one for everyone else. I feel like this will extend the back log further for everyone else that can't afford it because of all the people cutting the line
It kind-of already is. You have investment green cards which require a minimum investment of $500,000 or more into the US economy. Plus, out of two people with “weak” cases, the person with more money can hire an attorney, while the one without, can’t. Personally, My wife came in on a K1. We have been waiting for 7 months. She hasn’t even gotten her work permit. If I had the option of paying them $2,000 so that we could have our interview within the month, I wouldn’t write that check without any hesitation. To me it is worth it. Whether or not it’s worth it to you, is up to you.
if I got RFE and responded timely but dates regressed (EB2 employment based) , do they hold a visa for me or do I have to wait until dates get current again.
I think paying an extra cost to express your greencard would be great because the good would out way the bad, as in, that extra cash would help to hire a lot more workers with a few of them just strictly dealing with express, i think this would strongly benefit persons who are not in the express line as well by speeding up your turn in line, remember here, this extra cash could hire a whole lot more workers to tackle this massive backlog, I would strongly recommend this move.
They already raised the fees for most of the applications. They almost doubled all of them. It seems to me they just need to hire more people. Ironically processing times under Trump were so much shorter than they are under Biden. Let's hope that the current administration finds a way to resolve this soon.
Hello, I did my application online and my payment didn't go through. My application status still says " draft in process". I don't what to do. Do I resend application and fee or wait for a respond, but how long? Any suggestions will truly appreciate it. Thank you. Take care.
Hi Sir, I wonder if you can help me with my case, I have my I-797 notice of action extension of my green card for 2 years, my conditional PRC is already expired on March 2020, filed my I-751 on December 2019, got my I-797C biometrics done on August 2021.

As someone who is waiting nice to hear the truth about USCiS. Thanks
I'm going on 14 months.. quite frankly this is bullshit
Processing time should be a month and to make it that fast spend whatever money is necessary and get the immigrants to pay for it. They will be happy and we would have solved a decades old problem. This will also create jobs for thousands of Americans.
$2000, if it meaningfully speeds up the process, seems reasonable to me. I would imagine that most of these fees will be paid by US Citizen/permanent resident sponsors anyway, instead of immigrants. As long as it doesn't slow things down for people who don't pay the extra fees, I really don't see the harm here.
Well, if they have the money to pay USCIS to speed up the process then why not? In my country, Americans and whoever else wants citizenship / passport can go thru a program called 'CIP - Citizenship by Investment' and get their Passports and Citizenship certificates in about 3 months. The only thing that is required to activate it, is that passport holders must travel to the country, get their passports stamped, and take the Oath of Allegiance. From there, they are required every year or other year, I think... to spend at least a week here.
What’s your country?
Good night Jim, nice seeing you
Any idea how long it's going to take to clear the F2B backlog at the embassy in Manila so they can send new cases from NVC?
this is happening right now, 2,500 premium processing fee for certain categories. January 2023
❓️❓️l lose my Green card but I already applied for naturalization so l need to renew my Green card before getting naturalization or no❓️❓️❓️❓️

Had my interview on Oct 19, 2020 and still no response to this day… 🤦🏻♂️
What? Is that for the 2 years or 10?
You never know what you can get smh my sister’s renewal took almost 2 years but mine took 3 weeks, I don’t understand how they work…
When did your sis renew, just asking because its been 15 months and havent recive my green card
Can a family sponsored apply for a jumpstart program?
I’m American born applied for a visa for my wife in 2019. I’ve had two kids since and still no sign on us getting a visa to enter the USA while living in a foreign land for 3 years until we can enter 😢
Sorry to hear this. You should sue them. Has your wife had her visa interview? Jim
Many people doesn’t know how painful this is. We first started in 2016 and had to apply again in 2021 and the pain is soooooo real 😢
Thank-you alot for Immigrant service news
Yes that’s true where is my green card??I got my I-485 case is running for 22 months now
Mine was sone in 3.5 months, the condition was removed in 10 months and citizenship was done in less than 2 months
I came on K1 from canada. My K1 did take about 8 months
You got lucky.
My wife got first green card with conditions in 2 years. At the 7 year mark, she still was waiting for removal of conditions. She started citizenship process December 2021 and we’re still waiting for appointment which the update says should be in 6 months from now. 5 years of waiting for removal of conditions. We’ll never know how long it was going to really take since she started naturalization process

Did they call her for an interview after her biometric.
Does this apply, also, to green card renewal?
Hi Jim I have a question if you've had a greencard for less than a year can you get an educational grant and is it considered a public charge?
Great question
I became a resident November 2021 and i got my green card but it had a problem, instead of saying “Ml they put F, so i sent it back and its almost a year and they haven’t returned it with the right gender. It’s frustrating

I have the same problem. I mailed back since 2021 February . Till now nothing has bn done .
I'm waiting for my husband's green card. He's going crazy trying to be patient. It's been over 6 months.
Why isn’t the ceac fixing the error when trying to pay fees to proceed 😩
Does this affect those applying through marriage too? 🥺
You have a long road ahead of you, my friend. My wife and i applied for her GC in 2015. In 2 years she got her first GC with conditions. That GC expires after 2 years and you have to petition for removal of conditions which will then turn into the 10 year GC. We waited 5 years and still no update on removal of conditions. Waited so long that she became eligible to apply for citizenship before she even got her 10 year GC. She is in the process of citizenship now which should be a lot faster. We’ll never know how long the 10year GC was going to take. And we’re both 35 and look like a normal couple. Went on interviews, requests for more documentation, etc.
@@B-Killin i am in the same situation! But i wasnt sure if i can apply for citizenship withouth having received my 10 GC yet, i havent been interviewed yet either and they did my biometrics on march 2021, was your wife abke to get the citizenship without having received the 10 year gc? 🙏🙏
@@B-KillinHi! How’s the process of citizenship for your wife?
@@dawnrlln Its all behind us now. She became a US citizen in January 2023. Once you become eligible for citizenship, that was a lot faster than removing conditions of the Green Card. Although, i did write to my state representative to see if he could help speed things along. We were hitting wait times without updates on the citizenship process, so i wrote to him. I got a letter back from his office saying they will inquire about us to the immigration office. I kid you not, four weeks later my wife had an appointment date with immigration.
@@B-Killin Wow that was awesome! Thank you for your reply!
Thank you for this information.
You are most welcome!

Jim, do you happen to be able to tell what’s going on in the SSA also? I entered the country on an immigrant visa in early February, got my green card a month and two weeks later and I thought that was long enough. But the social security card is taking even longer - I have not heard a thing from them and, despite having made more then 50 phone calls, I still don’t know what is up because different call gives different answer about the status of my card…
Set an appointment with them, and see them physically.
You do not need appointment to go to SSA now for social security card related issues. Go to your local office.
Hello, my husband with an immigrant visa in August, glad to hear that it comes so fast.
Im still waiting for my GC. I got denied 3 times already. Now im waiting for interview again but in my home country (im I-601 waiver now). Its been 197 days since my lawyer filed the docs. Im stressed about this situation and spend lots of money for lawyers. My boss wanted to fire me twice because of my situation of not being able to leave the country. I dont have EAD as it expired 4 yrs ago. Its so unfair for people didnt come illegal to this country but those who enter here illegally, the process of their papers is even faster. 😪
Does this apply for replacement cards? Thank you.

If USCIS received the application for greencard of employee and got the receipt number, what’s the next move? Am I closer to get a greencard already?
What about the renewal process for Green Card? I am waiting for a year now and still haven't received response. What is the "normal" processing time now?
My wife's is already 11 months waiting on her renewal card , everytime we check on status it keeps saying that they checking on it and that there is nothing outstanding, whatever that means if they need anything else will let us know, very slow process.

How long does it take for millionaires to get their GC? I read an article that the rich and famous get through quicker which is wrong on so many levels
Hello please why my case status change to interview cancel same day that I attended my interview,I already attended the interview so why case status now saying interview cancel
So it's a 2 tier system.. One for the rich and one for everyone else. I feel like this will extend the back log further for everyone else that can't afford it because of all the people cutting the line
It kind-of already is. You have investment green cards which require a minimum investment of $500,000 or more into the US economy. Plus, out of two people with “weak” cases, the person with more money can hire an attorney, while the one without, can’t. Personally, My wife came in on a K1. We have been waiting for 7 months. She hasn’t even gotten her work permit. If I had the option of paying them $2,000 so that we could have our interview within the month, I wouldn’t write that check without any hesitation. To me it is worth it. Whether or not it’s worth it to you, is up to you.
if I got RFE and responded timely but dates regressed (EB2 employment based) , do they hold a visa for me or do I have to wait until dates get current again.
I think paying an extra cost to express your greencard would be great because the good would out way the bad, as in, that extra cash would help to hire a lot more workers with a few of them just strictly dealing with express, i think this would strongly benefit persons who are not in the express line as well by speeding up your turn in line, remember here, this extra cash could hire a whole lot more workers to tackle this massive backlog, I would strongly recommend this move.
Meh, then the express lane will become the only lane used.
They already raised the fees for most of the applications. They almost doubled all of them. It seems to me they just need to hire more people. Ironically processing times under Trump were so much shorter than they are under Biden. Let's hope that the current administration finds a way to resolve this soon.
Hello, I did my application online and my payment didn't go through. My application status still says " draft in process". I don't what to do. Do I resend application and fee or wait for a respond, but how long? Any suggestions will truly appreciate it. Thank you. Take care.
