Started the whole process in Nov 2021.
No prior overstays or red flags. No RFE
Longest part of the process was (a) perm approval—took almost 16 months for me (form 9089) and (b) 485 — no updates since july until earlier this week.

I got my combo card approved last oct (pretty quick). Partner never did.

To those still waiting, keep your head up. Especially those going via employment—they dont make it easy. And thank you to this community for being so supportive.
