Regarding I-485 after Vawa approval
Hi Fam ,
I just want to confirm with you guys if anyone got their i485 approved after Vawa approval. I haven’t seen any I-485 approval lately . My Vawa was approved in Jan 2025 and I still waiting for the decision on my I-485. I haven’t seen a single post about I-485 . please share your experience
after interview case is pending
hi everyone,
if anyone experience similar situation please advise
interview was done back in Dec and the officer wasn’t quite sure about my second job as I am currently working part time with sponsor on mutual understanding. I gave her reason back in 2023 the business wasnt doing great so we mutually decided and I started working part time. after 3 months or so I found another job which pays twice then my sponsor with benefits so she asked me why would you like to work full time with sponsor if you have great job with benefits, I work in automotive industry and I am really interested in cars so I gave her that reason she said I need to discuss with supervisor so I am putting your case under review, it’s been more than 80 days nothing changed.
anybody know how long it takes to get a decision?
or anybody had similar situation and got approval?
thanks in advance
GC approved while date is not current!!!!
My EB-based I-485 was filed in 2022 when the priority date was current. The primary applicant was approved, but as a derivative applicant I received an RFE. We responded, but by then visa numbers were unavailable, so the case stayed pending.
Later, my LPR spouse filed an I-130 (F2A) and when the Final Action Date became current in Oct 2025, I filed a new I-485 under F2A. I had the F2A interview last week, which went well.
However, yesterday my old EB I-485 showed “New Card Is Being Produced,” and today it says “Case Approved,” even though my EB priority date is not currently current.
How can an EB I-485 be approved when the priority date is not current, especially while another I-485 under F2A is pending after interview?
