Slower processing time at Dallas FO?
I had my 1st i-485 interview in Nov 2024 and 2nd interview in June 2025. I was told by the interviewer I should receive a decision fairly soon after 2nd interview. Almost 3.5 months later I called them and got a reply in email saying due to workload factors please expect a delay of 6 more months.
Did anyone else had the same experience at Dallas office?
any suggestions?
Just landed at JFK with AP
The process was mostly the same, but for the first time I was asked additional questions—driver’s license, eye color, hair color, height, weight, marital status, and address. Normally, secondary inspection at JFK is in the same room, but this time I was called to a different room in the same area. There, they took my fingerprints, measured my height, and took my picture.
I asked the officer if this was a new procedure, and he confirmed it has recently changed and will now be done at every entry. I also asked if there’s a limit on using Advance Parole, and he said as long as it hasn’t expired, you can make multiple entries without issue.
They were polite and nothing extra happened.
485 Supplement J With Business Annual Income Blank
i140 has been apporved. But when filling 485 supplement J, the HR is not comfortable to share business gross annual income nor net annual income, so the boxes are left blank in thr form. If I keep filing it, will it be almost certain to get RFE? Any real-life cases here?
Thank you in advance!
