Derivative applicant approved but primary applicant pending
Hi!
My husband is the primary applicant and I am derivative applicant . I got my I-485 approved 3 days ago, while his is still pending.
Our PD is 05/2013,, and our case was moved to Chicago FO 2 before my 485 approval.
For some of you who recently were approved, have any of you been in a similar situation? If yes, how long after your dependents were you approved?
Or did you guys got approval at same time than your dependents?
What should be expected in terms of API updates?
Does the fact that I got approved means my husband should be approved soon?
Thank you all!
Share your timeline with me please!!!!
Very early days for me still.
my lawyer submitted everything on 8/11/25
I didn’t get receipts so my lawyer submitted an inquiry with USCIS and I finally got my receipts on 2/27/26
I know it’s still very early days but my lawyer said I might not hear back for another 6-8 months and I’m seeing many ppl get their EAD before that. My employer found out about my status and I’m just worried and need my EAD asap I’m so worried 😬
how long does it take to send notice after interview is scheduled
this is my status.
….. we scheduled an interview for your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust
We will mail you an interview notice. Please follow any instructions in the notice.
it’s been 5 days not seen any notice in the mailbox
EMAIL NOTICE ON SERVICE REQUEST
Advice needed. My derivative EAD renewal has been approved since Dec 2024 but no card. After several service requests, we got an email about biometrics not good enough so they need to reprint. We are yet to get a biometric appointment letter.
Can we just go to the local USCIS office and get it done?
We had our interview on Feb 10 . Mostly matched answers, but my spouse forgot the sponsor’s name and some filing fees. It’s been almost a month with no update. When should we expect to hear back?
We had our interview on February 10, and it was quite difficult. The officer spoke with me for about an hour and a half and with my spouse for around forty minutes. As soon as we went in, they separated us. Most of the answers we gave matched, from the names of our birds to the names of our family members.
However, my spouse struggled with some questions. She is younger than me; there is a five-year age difference between us. I am 25 and she is 20. The main issue was that she forgot the sponsor’s name because it is not an English name. They also asked how much I paid for the paperwork. They asked whether my spouse knew the fees for the I-130 and I-485. I assumed she knew, but she did not know exactly. Her response was that since I handled the process, she did not know the details because it was my immigration process.
So we had a few small mistakes like this, especially about financial matters, because I am the one covering everything and my spouse is not working. It has been almost a month since the interview and we still have not received anything. When do you think we might hear something? I am very worried.
