I-485 Green Card | Process, Timeline and Steps  

I applied for my I-485 on April 3, I received acceptance notice from USCIS a week later and on April 21, I received my biometrics appointment 🎉

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

I love America

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-130 & I-485 is fill up in same time if someone married an US citizen and lived in United states. Please let me know sir.

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?

Fact remains once you apply I-585 your valid B1/B2 visa stands cancelled. Logically it seems true isn't it

Very helpful thank you ✨

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!!

I submit my case on January 2023 and received a letter for reference of evidence in October 05, 2023. How much take time for final decision please.

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?
