Case Processing
I-485 Finaly approved!!!
I’ve been waiting for this since 2020 when I first start my EB2-NIW process. Here is my journey:
• 2018: Entered the U.S. on L-1 visa.
• Jan 17, 2020: Filed my first I-485 (based on EB-2 NIW) while in valid status.
• Dec 5, 2022: My first I-140 was denied.
• March 1, 2023: Filed a motion (I-290B) to reopen the denied I-140.
• March 15, 2023: Filed a new EB-2 NIW I-140 and request to transfer the I-485 to this new I-140.
• June 2023: My new I-140 was approved.
• April 15, 2025: USCIS ignored my request to transfer and my first I-485 was officially denied based on the denial of my first I-140.
• April 23, 2025: Filed a brand-new I-485 based on the approved I-140.
• July 2025: Received approval of my new I-765 (EAD).
• July 17, 2025: My new I-485 was APPROVED!
Wish you all the best on your journey! Don’t give up!! When you do the right thing you will deserved!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Request for initial evidence was sent
Hello Guys, Hope all is well. My status was just updated on Next message will you get section from “ New Card is being produced to Request for initial evidence was sent”. But the actual status is still CRP. I am wondering if anyone here in the community has been in this situation? I am wondering what could it be the initial evidence they’re asking for? Please share your experience if you’re on the same situation. It will be greatly appreciated.
i485 got denied. now what?
hi everyone,
my i485 got denied because I did not write I601 for vaccine waiver in my own words.
now what options are available for me? should I reopen the case as I have all vaccines (covid no longer applies) or refill again or do both?
please post your comments.
