Case Processing
i485 still appears as denied in the USCIS system, even though its approval should follow the I-601’s approval.
My Form I-485 was denied because USCIS failed to link my pending Form I-601 waiver to my adjustment of status application. I immediately filed a Form I-290B Motion to Reopen or Reconsider and provided USCIS with proof of the I-601 filing, even though USCIS had already accepted the application and issued me a receipt notice. The I-290B was granted, and two weeks later my Form I-601 waiver was approved.
However, my I-485 still appears as denied in the USCIS system, even though its approval should follow the I-601’s approval. This situation is extremely frustrating, especially since the I-485 decision is typically dependent on the outcome of the I-601. My concern is that, just as USCIS initially failed to link my waiver to my I-485, they may also fail to recognize that the I-601 has now been approved.

Received action was taken on both on August 6 but hasn’t received anything on documents so far. Is this normal. When should I expect documents to show up or is this just a glitch?

Action on Case. AOS
I got a couple of emails back to back saying “We have taken an action on your case and it needs your attention” but when I logged and checked I did not see any updates. Is this a false email notification? or have there been any cases where people have seen updates a day or 2 later. No API updates as well. Please advise. 🙏🏼
Greened 💚 Approved While Overseas
Finally my turn. I hope this post helps someone like this community has helped me. Leave comment if you have any questions.

PD became current on April 2025.
My green card was approved while I was overseas with an emergency advance parole. I was abroad for 6 weeks due to a family emergency and returned to US yesterday morning (Aug. 8, 2025) through SEA. While I was abroad, I got a USPS informed delivery email that USCIS sent me something. I checked the case status and saw that my card was mailed to me.
Hold on to it, everyone. I was tempted to give up so many times but I'm glad I sticked with it. The end is near.
