Why is waiting so hard?

Hi everyone,

I filed my marriage-based AOS package at the end of December 2025.

My timeline so far:

  • January 10, 2026: Biometrics appointment was scheduled
  • January 24, 2026: Biometrics completed
  • March 15, 2026: Interview was scheduled for my I-485
  • April 19, 2026: Interview completed / case changed to actively reviewed
  • About one week after the interview, I received my I-130 approval notice by mail

It has now been about 3 weeks since my interview, and my I-485 is still pending. There is no RFE, no action required, and no new documents online.

For people who applied around December 2025, how long did it take to get your I-485 approved after the interview? I know every case is different, but I keep seeing some people get approved the same day or a few days after, while others wait weeks or months.

Trying not to stress too much, but it is hard lol. Any similar timelines?
