Green card approved in 68 days, interview waived.
I received a notice of approval of my i-485 (through US citizen son) today. This came as a complete surprise as I was expecting a Notice of Interview. Here is my timeline:
Receipt notice - April 27
Biometrics scheduled - May 7
Biometrics completed - May 28
Case approved - July 2
I am from one of the "restricted" countries, but have lived in the US for a long time in another visa category.
I'm grateful for the information from posts in different sub-Reddits, which helped to manage my expectations and navigate my journey. I eagerly await my GC in the mail!
Thank you all
