Interview Held for i-485; More than 120 days; PD is current
Hi all,
I have an ongoing i-485 (F2A) since August 2023 and last month got a notification stating that an action was taken on my case. The case was still currently under USCIS' review though API update switched from FT0 to FT1. I am not exactly sure what does it actually mean though many posts on reddit claim that, probably, a supervisor may have received the file. Upon contacting USCIS after more than 120 days of my I-485 interview in San Jose FO, the officer on the call stated the case was under normal processing time and no action was needed. Officer didn't elaborate regarding the notification received, calling it confidential. Officer stated the normal processing time for 80% of the cases is 30.5 months so technically, the case's deadline is Feb 2027 if PD is August 2023.
Does anybody saw those notifications and attempted to contact USCIS for more information? What are the questions did you ask? Please state your FO's processing time. Does anybody received decision within 120 days after the i-485 interview? I have always maintained legal status and clean history. Some of the people I know, got their cases approved an year or couple of years ago. I know every case is different, why does officers delay the cases decisions?
I have I-130 approved since July 2024 and later on a medical RFE in Feb 2026. The interview in April 2026 for I-485 was 1-on-1 with officer and my spouse had to wait outside and no interview.
I feel kind of lost at this point as what could possibly be provided to USCIS to make a decision. Is writ of mandamus recommended at this point or shall i wait till Feb 2027? Any lead will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much, fam!
