January Approval Hallelujah
I finally received my approval!!! Silent approval on 5/7.
Renewal receipt: 1/16/26
Biometrics: completed on 2/06/26
Silent approval: 5/7- system updated 5/8.
EAD has expired on 3/12.
I submitted 3 separate request to expedite. All were denied. I had my representative submit two inquiries, the most recent one being on 4/26. I also submitted an inquiry with an agent over the phone on 5/4 after I reached 105 day. I received an email from USCIS the following day saying my case was still within processing times… but I finally got my approval! I have never experienced such a low point in my life. This experience really let me see who is there for me in the good and bad. I hope that we can soon have a pathway to citizenship and don’t have to deal with this rollercoaster of uncertainty.
*reposting. I deleted my initial post because I had attached an image but someone made a weird comment about my receipt number and it made me uncomfortable. So reposting without the image.
