Finally received my Green Card today!

I wanted to share my complete timeline because this community was incredibly helpful throughout my journey. My timeline: Priority Date: 04/21/2023 I-140 Approved: May 2025 I-485/I-485J Filed: 11/24/2025 Biometrics: 12/23/2025 Transferred to Seattle Field Office: 01/22/2026 (confirmed by Emma) Case activity: 05/17: First silent update. 05/29: Second silent update + 3rd FTA0 + I-485J silent update. 06/06: 1st FTA1 + Active Review. 06/26: 2nd FTA1 + Active Review. 06/29: I-485J Approved + I-485 silent update. 06/30: I-485 Approved. 07/09: Card Was Produced. 07/14: 💚 Green Card received in hand! One thing I learned is that silent updates don’t necessarily mean something is wrong. My case had multiple silent updates, FTA0s, FTA1s, and internal movements before approval. Looking back, they were signs that my case was actively being worked on, even though it didn’t feel that way at the time. To everyone who is still waiting , please don’t lose hope. I know how frustrating it is to watch newer cases get approved first, and I remember thinking my case had been forgotten. But eventually, everything moved very quickly. Thank you to everyone in this community for answering questions, sharing timelines, and keeping each other encouraged. This community helped me get through one of the most stressful periods of my immigration journey. Don’t lose faith. Your approval will come. Wishing everyone the very best! 🍀🇺🇸❤️
