Tips I’d give now that i’m finally done with my case
- Always do your own research. If you feel like your lawyer is missing something, check it.
- Don’t be scared to reach out to them, you’re literally paying for their service.
- And if you think they messed up, SAY something. Honestly, if I had spoken up sooner, my interview would’ve been scheduled way earlier. They told me I didn’t need to send a police certificate to the NVC… like, what?!
- Be involved in your case. Don’t go crazy, but don’t be hands-off either.
- Ask questions anywhere, in this app, Facebook, Reddit. There are tons of people going through the same thing.
And honestly, the hardest tip:
Be patient. Don’t forget to actually live your life during all of this. Your happiness doesn’t start when the green card arrives, it just continues. Don’t put your whole life on pause.
EAD CARD REPLACEMENTS? I recently lost mines, how much did you pay and how long did it take till you finally got it in the mail?

Mi caso I-485 estuvo administrativamente cerrado por más de un año y nadie me daba respuesta. Después de mucho esperar, mi abogada me recomendó enviar una nueva solicitud I-485, porque era muy difícil que reabrieran la anterior.
Apenas envié la nueva aplicación, USCIS reabrió mi caso y en menos de 1 mes recibí fecha de entrevista.
Si yo no hubiera vuelto a aplicar, probablemente seguiría esperando años.
👀 Así que si tu caso lleva mucho tiempo administrativamente cerrado, tal vez valga la pena considerar esa opción (siempre con abogado). No se queden esperando eternamente como me pasó a mí.
Mucho ánimo a todos 🙏💚
My I-485 case was administratively closed
✨ Just sharing my personal experience in case it helps someone ✨
My I-485 case was administratively closed for over a year, and nothing was moving. After waiting so long, my attorney suggested submitting a new I-485 application, because reopening the old one was very difficult.
As soon as I filed the new application, USCIS reopened my case, and within less than a month I received my interview date.
If I hadn’t reapplied, I would probably still be waiting years.
👀 So if your case has been administratively closed for a long time, it may be worth considering that option (always speak with an attorney). Don’t stay stuck waiting like I did.
Wishing everyone the best 🙏💚
