Anyone have a I-485 marriage based interview at Holtsville, NY (Long Island) in the last 6 months? How long did you wait for a decision?
I had my I-485 marriage based interview on Long Island on Feb 17th. It’s now 5 weeks later and still no decision. I know of others in a similar situation who interviewed at the same FO. It feels like no one is getting decisions from Long Island… Interested to hear from anyone who also interviewed at Holtsville, NY (Long Island), your experience and timeline for a decision. Thanks!

I personally know 3 ppl who went there and they were approved on the spot. I hope you get approved soon. that’s my FO as well
Ben KidmanMar 26, 2022
@My case did they get approved in the last 6 months?
Ben KidmanMar 26, 2022
@domino no red flag. I came on K-1 so all my details are already known by USCIS. I just seem to have joined the unlucky few who end up waiting months for a decision

@Ben Kidman, we had a lot in common. PD date, Holtsville, had I-485 interview Feb 10th, she said, she could have approved on the spot but computer down, so we had to do everything manually, I mean I signed manually and after the yes and No questions, we were told we should be expecting decision in mail. we went in company of our 18 months old daughter even my wife was in her military fits because she was on a military mission that day. But, I still don’t receive any mail but status changed on March 1st to actively reviewing by USCIS. it’s getting so frustrating honestly speaking.

OMG 😳 this is scary and makes me nervous at the same time 😯
Ben KidmanMar 26, 2022
Feeling the pain guys. Being jerked around by USCIS is really hard to understand and I’m equally frustrated. Stay in touch. If any of you get an update then please share, it may be a sign the rest of us are due one!

did anyone try infopass appointment after a month of interview ?
Ben KidmanApr 8, 2022
only that my EAD arrived. nothing on I-485

Rock BApr 8, 2022
@Ben .. that’s good . did you get both EAD and AP combo card ? did you follow up on your EAD or it just approved on its own timeline .
Ben KidmanApr 9, 2022
I sent an expedite request on March 17th and the approval was March 29th. I doubt the expedite had any influence on my I-765 because it was also placed for I-131 in same request but they only gave me a standalone EAD

Hello Everyone .. Anyone any update further ?
Ben KidmanApr 21, 2022
I got an update last night that my green card is being produced! approx 2 months after my interview on 17th February. Pretty sure the expedite with my congressman had a part to play
R
Rock BApr 21, 2022
Awrsome great news .. Can you pls post the process on how to contact the congressman / Congresswoman .. When you free

Rock BApr 21, 2022
congratulations @ Ben 😊
Ben KidmanApr 21, 2022
Thanks guys!
Ben KidmanApr 21, 2022
@Rock B check your local congress representative (for your county, state). Then Google that person’s name with “federal agency help”. You should see a link to their website allowing you to submit / contact someone from their office who handles federal agency casework. They will respond with a request for you to sign a privacy release form (permitting them to contact USCIS on your behalf), criteria of expedition and addendum (justifying why you meet the expedition criteria). It’s fairly easy and will usually take around 30 days for a response from USCIS
