I-485 Marriage-Based (CR1/IR1) — Interview Waived on MyProgress, but Emma says “In line to be scheduled” (Houston FO)
Hi everyone, I’m posting to see if anyone has had a similar experience and if their I-485 interview ended up being waived.
Important background:
I filed my I-485 (marriage-based) and later found out I was in removal proceedings (we did not know at the time). Because of that, my I-485 was administratively closed and my Advance Parole was denied due to USCIS not having jurisdiction. The good news is that my removal proceedings were terminated/dismissed by the Immigration Judge, and USCIS regained jurisdiction over my case around Oct 20, 2025.
Timeline / details:
• I-485 filed: May 8, 2023
• EAD approved: December 2023
• I-130 approved: January 28, 2025
• Medical exam: submitted with the original filing
• Married: November 2022
• Petitioner: my wife is a U.S. citizen
• No RFE so far
• I uploaded my Immigration Court dismissal/termination order to my USCIS account
What’s confusing me:
My MyProgress tab previously showed Step 3 (Interview) as waived, and it looked like I was already on Step 4 (Decision). But when I contacted USCIS/Emma, I was told my case is in line to be scheduled for an interview at the Houston Field Office.
Question:
Based on these facts (approved I-130 + court termination letter uploaded + no RFE), is there still a chance my I-485 can be approved without an interview, or does being “in line to be scheduled” mean the interview is basically guaranteed?
The other thing is, would I get a conditional green card under these circumstances?
If anyone had a similar situation (especially with removal proceedings being terminated), I’d really appreciate hearing your experience.
Thank you!
