This was a great video! Just got my i-140 approved, and found this video while doing researching to prepare for the next steps. Thanks for posting it in this amount of detail
The Dominican Republic submitted my fiance medical exam on a CD. USCIS rejected the application for this reason. They will not look at a CD and you have to do the exam again. Terrible, so make sure to get a paper copy in your packet.
I sent my paperwork to Nebraska service center via USPS priority mail. They received it couple days later on June 17 2024 and I kid you not they printed out the reciept notices the very next day on the 18th and just 3days later the notices were in my mailbox. I guess now, as of July 2, am waiting for my biometrics appointment for my I-765.
We were never told to file a i485 we were told the greeen card will be sent in the mail after few weeks when my wife enters the US ! Her biometrics were done at the japanese empassy … before we came to the US , Its been a month since she has been in the US called USCIS and they told me to call Homeland security homeland security dont answer their phones
The Concurrent Filing “Estimated Time Until Case Decision” went up from 7 months to 10 months and this increase in processing time went up once before!… Any reason for this and what is the USCIS doing for all these months?… Is the file just sitting in a queue to be accepted and the Green Card mailed out because there’s a backlog or are they looking for reasons to reject the application?
I think the wholesome reason is the load. In 2023 based on estimates USCIS processed around a million cases. More the backlog higher the processing time!
Hello Praneet, Very useful channel. Thank you. My fiance's k1 viance visa processing was completed. She came to US. After marriage, we appled for her Green Card in 1st week of June. We received Receipt of our application and also letter for biometrics appointment. Do you know after Biometrics appointment how much time it takes for getting green card?
I apply my asylee based I 485 on February 23, but still I don’t get any receipt latter, I don’t know why, my lawyer told me I will get it 2-4 weeks, but still not getting this, can you tell me why it delay?
It could be several reasons! One plausible reason could be the load of applications sorting. For some people it is taking around 6 weeks to get receipt.

Thank you so much for video.What are the options for an aged out child of an F4 category parent,who was included in original approved application but is now more than 21 years,who wants to join his parent in USA?
I think for this you should contact an immigration attorney but from my understanding he/she will have to get a VISA and then apply for GC. Please confirm with attorney.
Bhai i got my marriage based advance parol on work permit but i have asylum withdrawal panding so can i travel home country my case is not in immigration court shoud i withdrawal my asylum case
Hey brother! I forgot to send the i864 with my parent's i485. Can I send it now with i485 recipe paper, or I have to wait RFE letter, Sometimes they denied without RFe notice
I have B1/B2 Visa and my LC is under process - Once the LC is approved and submit the I-140 (still outside the US). When my PD is current so i can travel to USA on my B1/B2 Visa then file the I-485 ?
hi praneet my son lives in the uk i130 was approved 10mth ago I want my son to continue the process here in the usa using the i485 he is 22yrs will he av access to school..ssn...added to my medical or allow to work whilst waiting
First question would be if he is a UK citizen and as his immigration petition is with USCIS I m not sure if he may travel to USA. I think it will be best to consult with an immigration attorney.
hi @MeetPraneet, I was on F1- opt 4 years ago and now on H1b. On all the forms for Marriage based green card should have to mention the Alien Number from OPT from 2020 or can I leave it blank?
Hi! My priority date is Feb 3 2023 for I 140 and I 1485. My status here I94 ends in Dez 2 2024, after 7 years in L1. Do you think I will need to go out of the country to complete my application? It’s on premium, but the PD still in January 15th and lawyers are saying that might not move till October. If the visa bulletin move in mid September, Do you think I will have time enough to wait for adjustment of status until my I94 ends in dezember ? Thank you!!
Thank you for yr info I had my Biometric done got EAD ADVANCE PAYROLL APPROVED BUT SUDDENLY GOT MAIL CURRENTLY WE PAUSE YOUR CASE VIEW VISA NO IS NOT AVAILABLE. I AM UNDER EB2 KINDLY CAN U TELL ME AFTER ALL STAGES WHY THEY PAUSE. IT HAD HAPPENED LAST 12th of DEC .I131 WAS APPROVED IN OCT 3OTH
This happens when your Priority date has retrogressed. This means a VISA number is not available for you at the moment. Nothing to worry about. USCIS will start processing your case once you PD becomes current
Hey, my mother has entered USA on a visitor’s visa and her I-94 is valid till 04/22/2023. I have submitted an I-130 online for her and have got the I-130 receipt notice. I have mailed her I-485 application to USCIS which was delivered on March 15th. USCIS will issue me an I-485 Receipt notice once they start working on my mother’s I-485 application but that may take some time. My Question is, Will my mother be able to stay legally in USA after 04/22/2023 if she does not get the I-485 receipt notice till then. Thanks
What would happen to my Combo Card if my I-485 is "administratively closed" due to the unavailability of visas for 4th preference Special Immigration at the time of filing and fees refunded? Can I still use the Combo Card to travel abroad, or is it automatically cancelled?
My case got denied after interview, I appeal it and now has been reopened. How long do I have to wait now? I received the new receipts for the reopen case. Thanks
Dear Yared, If it’s been 5yrs since you filed your I486 then first to check is if your PD is current or not. Also you should contact your local congressman’s office for help.
Great question! If you are waiting for I485 adjustment then you will be status until your case been adjudicated. You should not travel unless you have your AP which is advance parole.
I think your job code and responsibilities should not deviate from the job on which you got your i140 approved. Please consult an immigration attorney.
Hi… my i 485 form says that i need to submit a sealed copy of marriage certificate which the immigration has to open. But i am unable to get that copy from the court or state capitol. They said that they don’t provide the sealed marriage certificate. I need it to prove that i got married within 90 days of coming to US. What should i do? From where i will get the sealed copy? Someone please help me
Hi we are under EB2 and having current priority date our biometrics are submitted and we got EAD cards also we filed for green card on October 23 rd and we got EAD cards in December 2023 after that nothing when do we get green card any suggestions on this
Dear Mercy, if your PD is current with respect to visa bulletin then USCIS will adjudicate your case soon. It takes 5-8 months atleast to get the GC adjudication. All the best
If you have B1/B2 VISA then you cannot file for I485 or Adjustment of Status until your EB-1 A or EB-2 NIW I-140 is approved. Also, you can come to US on a non immigrant VISA like H-1B to pursue your GC journey.
@meetpraneet I have B1/B2 visa and my brother is ready to sponsor me. If I go inside USA, can I file I-485 directly? Or are there any other steps? Could you please explain me this. Will be a great help Thanks in advance
Hello sir I want to know that my spouse is a us citizen so he have to fill I- 485 form or it will come directly for my green card???? Please help me regarding my case.
