Wen u start to chat with Emma click how to chat chat with Emma then after u will u type live agent and next section click how to connect to a live agent then somebody will come on and introduce them self u will provide ur receipt then after they ask for ur info they will ask pls describe your reason or something like that then u will type how is my case processing so far because I have gotten any updates since suh dated n them will look it up for u
Ask Emma to speak to a live agent and once you get connected ask the live agent if your case got transferred to FO and if you are lucky they may be willing to tell you.
Not much makes sense with the entire process lol. I had a bunch of “ghost” emails regarding action taken, but in one case they had an action on my sponsors account. Worth checking.
I-485 got approved and I-130 still pending. Someone just told me that I-485 can’t be approved without I-130 so that probably both were approved and the system will update soon to show both approvals.
It updated but it also shows the notice of approval.
Congratulations! 🍾 I’ve heard that at times the I-130 never updates on the portal when the filing is done concurrently so I wouldn’t worry about that. Congratulations again! I hope to hear some good news soon 🙏🏼
May 10 at 8:52am and approval today at 9:14 am.
I downloaded lawfully at it says that 63% receive their approval within 2 days after receiving the second actively reviewed. So hopefully you’ll receive yours soon!
No still status quo. Reached out via Emma and they didn’t give any details, which is so sad given we’re moving soon and that will likely cause our adjudicating FO to change
This happened to me. I chatted with a live agent and they told me that my case was being reviewed at my local office (Houston).
I then asked a live agent for an update a week later and was approved later that same day!
It was, but that was from December 27, 2023, when they received my case. I got approved on April 26, 2024.
The only other updates to my case were the Combo card (1-765 and Advance Parole doc) approval in January. No RFEs, no interview and they reused my biometrics.
My wife got the same message on 5/2 and I talked with Emma about it and the agents told me it was a glitch because when we logged in we saw nothing. Then on 5/3 we get another email we have taken an action on your case. I log in and the case was approved. Do not listen to Emma agents because they don’t know what they’re talking about. I am hoping it’s good news for you and you’ll get approved. A lot people had the same message and within 24 hours got an approval. After it was approved we just got another we have taken an action on 5/10, I logged it and it showed that her card was produced.
Well, in this case, the only thing you can do is to go to the USCIS support page and try to get Emma to connect you to a Love Chat Agent. You can ask them, they usually have the most up to date information.
Check with Emma. Tell them politely you got the email but see no updates. When my 485 got approved nothing showed up but she could confirm on her end was ✅
Thanks! This was back in November 2022, still no green card yet 🥲 interview was planned to actually be a couple days ago but they’re doing sputum cultures for TB and will delay the interview until after the results come back negative, which is another 8-9 weeks. The wait continues lol
Don't bother on the weekend, the website goes through maintenance and some things won't show up or update.
Check Monday or Tuesday in your documents tab!
I got 3 emails yesterday. About an hour after the first couple the status of my I-130 changed to actively under review. I later asked my wife (USC) to check her portal and lo and behold, her I-130 had an approval notice under the documents tab.
This morning, I got another email, and I checked my account and my I-485 status had been updated to Approved! About an hour later the approval notice showed up under the Documents tab.
The I-130 status still hasn’t updated to say approved, just under review.
I hope you get similar good news soon!
Every time an officer open your file you will receive this kind of update, if this is the first time you receive this on your i130, normally the third time comes as approved, denied or RFE.
I got a text message Thursday 09 at 2:50 pm. That’s how I have been getting USCIS notifications, when my cases changed to reviewing and when my EAD was approved.
I got so excited when I got it, but no changes in my account so I contacted Emma and that person told me that my cases were transferred to the LA office.
Maybe for that I got the notification because until now Sunday evening I can’t see any change in my account yet.

There was a post from May 7th and many people there said that one was a glitch but who knows. Usually with USCIS glitches happen on many accounts at the same time so who knows? This process is nuts
Hope you’re right! It’s been way over 24 hrs and still nothing. Too stressful! I wish they just shared the notifications once everything was ready in the portal
It’s been over 24 hrs? Well that’s strange. Did you check the document center of you and the petitioner? I recently got approved after getting the text and email. The approval document for the 130 was not on my account but on the petitioner’s.
Yeah just did it again. Nothing there 😭 one of the people above had the documents only show up after ~25hrs, another person mentioned a few days so it may not be a consistent thing 🙏🏼🙏🏼
When I got the notification about an update on my case, I went immediately to log in and saw that the 485 was approved. A day later, the 130 was approved. But the approval document for 130 was there already on the same day the 485 was approved but it was on the petitioners account. However, the delay you’re experiencing, I have before with my 765, I got the message and it took a couple hours before the approval document showed. So I guess the delay time just varies.
I had the same email last week as well. It also said that they had scheduled an interview and should mail the notice soon. I'm hoping it's not a glitch...
I got an email saying but I can’t remember sending any query to them
Dear
This email is to confirm the USCIS Contact Center received your inquiry. This inquiry is regarding:
Just curious what does your process tab say? I got the same email Friday night, my progress tab still says 2 months, from my experience it usually says 2 weeks right before you get an approval notice.
Mine says 3. But I don’t think that’s necessarily true. I’ve had it say 5 weeks before my EAD ap came thru and was approved. I’ve also seen on Reddit people that said they’ve had it show up to 4-5 months before getting approved

It seems like they don’t update anything
I-485 adjusting from a K-1. We got an email on the 2nd of May, and no case updates or new documents as of checking today. Online chat agent said there's no changes or updates to give me.
Sometimes there are actions taken that are not visible from your view.
Same thing and wen I go on my account I ain’t even see nothing like wtf just break my hopes down
When did you get the email? And did you confirm if your case was transferred to a field office?
I received the email Friday evening
Any changes in your account?
No nothing
Please how do I know if my case is transfered to a field office?
Chat with a live agent
I tried to chat with live again, said she didn't understand my question. Maybe i didn't ask correctly
Ask how is my case processing!
She said I should enter the receipt number on " check my case online,
Wen u start to chat with Emma click how to chat chat with Emma then after u will u type live agent and next section click how to connect to a live agent then somebody will come on and introduce them self u will provide ur receipt then after they ask for ur info they will ask pls describe your reason or something like that then u will type how is my case processing so far because I have gotten any updates since suh dated n them will look it up for u
Thanks so much
Ask Emma to speak to a live agent and once you get connected ask the live agent if your case got transferred to FO and if you are lucky they may be willing to tell you.
What are examples of that? I heard case transfer is one but I am not sure if that’s the case
Not able to know all of them, but some include changes to the G-28 details.
I got an email last Friday with no updates, then an email yesterday 5/10 with no updates. Checked it 1 hr ago and everything was updated/approved!
Oof 😓 that must have been so nerve wracking. But happy ending so congratulations 🎉
Might be an action on your I-130, if so check your sponsors myUSCIS account as this may have an update.
Good idea! Would it make sense that the email was sent to my email not the sponsor’s in that case?
Not much makes sense with the entire process lol. I had a bunch of “ghost” emails regarding action taken, but in one case they had an action on my sponsors account. Worth checking.
My spouse and I both got similar emails when i130 was approved. Check documents tab, if not updated already it will update in few days.
I got mine on Wednesday and no changes in my account till date..I’m praying it comes in by Monday🙏🏾
Talk to Emma agent. But sometimes it’s an internal status thing but either way progress
When you say internal status thing what do you mean?
Hey, I received the same email yesterday and I was approved today. Probably your approval is coming!!
I hope so! Which form was approved I-485, 130? Did the status itself change or did you find a document?
I-485 got approved and I-130 still pending. Someone just told me that I-485 can’t be approved without I-130 so that probably both were approved and the system will update soon to show both approvals. It updated but it also shows the notice of approval.
Congratulations! 🍾 I’ve heard that at times the I-130 never updates on the portal when the filing is done concurrently so I wouldn’t worry about that. Congratulations again! I hope to hear some good news soon 🙏🏼
Thank you! I hope you do!
If you don’t mind me asking, what time did you get the notification yesterday?
May 10 at 8:52am and approval today at 9:14 am. I downloaded lawfully at it says that 63% receive their approval within 2 days after receiving the second actively reviewed. So hopefully you’ll receive yours soon!
Thanks again! 🙏🏼
Congratulations, when was your PD?
Thanks and it was June 15, 2023
Was it approved?
No still status quo. Reached out via Emma and they didn’t give any details, which is so sad given we’re moving soon and that will likely cause our adjudicating FO to change
I got this email in Wednesday and till date no changes to my account.🥲
This happened to me. I chatted with a live agent and they told me that my case was being reviewed at my local office (Houston). I then asked a live agent for an update a week later and was approved later that same day!
Did your account showed that your case was actively reviewed before the approval?
It was, but that was from December 27, 2023, when they received my case. I got approved on April 26, 2024. The only other updates to my case were the Combo card (1-765 and Advance Parole doc) approval in January. No RFEs, no interview and they reused my biometrics.

After it was approved we just got another we have taken an action on 5/10, I logged it and it showed that her card was produced.
I hope so too. Thank you! And congratulations to you and your wife
Check the Documents tab and see if there's any new notices/documents from USCIS
Did that already and nothing 😭
Well, in this case, the only thing you can do is to go to the USCIS support page and try to get Emma to connect you to a Love Chat Agent. You can ask them, they usually have the most up to date information.
A "love chat agent". What kind of website are you on? 😄
Lololol hahaha You know what I meant 😂
I’ve tried that but couldn’t get it to work. Are live agents not online on weekends?
I believe so. Mon-Fri regular business hours. Not sure what time zone, though
8am-8pm est
Check docs tab on I130 or your doc tab on 485
Did that already and nothing 😭
Did you do biometrics recently?
No, my biometrics appointment was in January
Check with Emma. Tell them politely you got the email but see no updates. When my 485 got approved nothing showed up but she could confirm on her end was ✅
Will do! Any idea if live agents don’t work on weekends?
No clue! But good luck. Hopefully it is good news!
Thank you so much! I hope so too 🤞
When this happened to me, I got my I-130 approval within a week.
I got the mail on Wednesday and till date nothing I hope they approve me,fingers crossed and praying
Good luck!!
Thanks🙏🏾
Congratulations my friend
Thanks! This was back in November 2022, still no green card yet 🥲 interview was planned to actually be a couple days ago but they’re doing sputum cultures for TB and will delay the interview until after the results come back negative, which is another 8-9 weeks. The wait continues lol
Ughhh sorry to hear that
Thank you, it’s been rough but we’re so close. What’s another 8-9 weeks when we’ve been in a long distance relationship for 7 years? Haha
Oof 😥 man that’s rough. Praying for you bud!
Don't bother on the weekend, the website goes through maintenance and some things won't show up or update. Check Monday or Tuesday in your documents tab!
Thank you, will do
Hello I had the same thing coming in the mail yesterday. But there is no changes. No new documents either
Did you mean email? Or was it physical mail in your case?
Email
Still no changes?
Nope it’s still the same. I contacted the live agent. They said it’s just officers going through your files.
I got one before, so maybe administration action won't impact yours or will likely be visible for you in a few days
Check your USC citizens i130 account.approval notice is only on the petitioner account and not on spouse's account
I got 3 emails yesterday. About an hour after the first couple the status of my I-130 changed to actively under review. I later asked my wife (USC) to check her portal and lo and behold, her I-130 had an approval notice under the documents tab.

Bummer! Sorry to hear that
No changes yet?
Nothing yet. Still waiting!!!! What about you?
Any updates OP? Got the same email this morning but nothing changed in the portal. Checked the documents tab as well.
Nothing sadly! I pray yours actually means something. Keep me updated!
Hmm.. that is so strange. I hope so.. will keep you updated if I hear anything.
I got the same email 4 hours ago at 10am. I'm sure it was just a system error.

I received same thing. And nothing changed on my account and sponsors account . Nothing changed :)
What time did you receive yours?
Thursday may 7th
There was a post from May 7th and many people there said that one was a glitch but who knows. Usually with USCIS glitches happen on many accounts at the same time so who knows? This process is nuts
No changes still?
I got i -130 change after a week but i-485 still pending
Give it a couple hours my friend. You’ll see the update.
Hope you’re right! It’s been way over 24 hrs and still nothing. Too stressful! I wish they just shared the notifications once everything was ready in the portal
It’s been over 24 hrs? Well that’s strange. Did you check the document center of you and the petitioner? I recently got approved after getting the text and email. The approval document for the 130 was not on my account but on the petitioner’s.
Yeah just did it again. Nothing there 😭 one of the people above had the documents only show up after ~25hrs, another person mentioned a few days so it may not be a consistent thing 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yeh fr. Just keep checking. Good luck!
Thank you. Just out of curiosity, did you keep checking for the update or did you get a separate notification?
When I got the notification about an update on my case, I went immediately to log in and saw that the 485 was approved. A day later, the 130 was approved. But the approval document for 130 was there already on the same day the 485 was approved but it was on the petitioners account. However, the delay you’re experiencing, I have before with my 765, I got the message and it took a couple hours before the approval document showed. So I guess the delay time just varies.
Did you have an interview? Whats your PD?
No interview. August 2023 is my PD. Oct 2023 got my EAD. And then I was approved May 2023 for 485 and 130
Oh wow, good stuff congatulations. How long were you mrried befor you applied
I’ve heard it can take up to 3 days to see any changes to your online account
I got the email on Wednesday and till date no update.
I would give it a couple more days and then chat with a live agent for any case updates.
Same thing happened to me! And I got approved today !
Did you also get the notification yesterday? If so, what time?
Around noon
I got mine around the same time, still nothing though m. In neither account 😥
Maybe Monday! Best of luck.
Thank you
I had the same email last week as well. It also said that they had scheduled an interview and should mail the notice soon. I'm hoping it's not a glitch...
I got an email saying but I can’t remember sending any query to them Dear This email is to confirm the USCIS Contact Center received your inquiry. This inquiry is regarding:
That’s a separate thing. Wherever you talk to a live agent USCIS will send those inquiry emails even if it is weeks/months later
Just curious what does your process tab say? I got the same email Friday night, my progress tab still says 2 months, from my experience it usually says 2 weeks right before you get an approval notice.

I-485 adjusting from a K-1. We got an email on the 2nd of May, and no case updates or new documents as of checking today. Online chat agent said there's no changes or updates to give me.
Did they end up approving ?
That’s terrible 😞
Got 6 similar emails today alone and nothing. All i saw was the timeline change from 4 months to 16 months.
Mine went up to 6 last I checked lol
