Concurrent Filling F2A - expected decision soon?
Hi All,
I have i-485 & i-130 pending since last year Sep 2021. (I got EAD and AP approved in May 2022)
I-485 has been actively reviewed since Nov 2021.
I-130 just got an update that is being reviewed after being "case received" status over 14 months.
Do you think I should expect a decision sooner? Has anyone gotten similar changes?

Sal SalDec 27, 2022
yes you should
Abhinav GandhiDec 28, 2022
Approved today

congrats @abhinav!! what is your field office and service center? do you know if the case was approved directly from the service center or was moved to the local field office before approval ?
Abhinav GandhiDec 28, 2022
boise, id field office
i talked to emma agent last month, i was told that my case was moved to field office on 11/29/2022
anonymous 1986Dec 29, 2022
thanks @abhinav. seems like Boise i485 wait time is 25.5 months and you got the approval in about 15 months. which is great. Gives some hope to me as my field office is San Francisco with 29.5 months wait time. I am assuming your case was at National Benefits Center (NBC) before getting moved to Boise?
Abhinav GandhiDec 29, 2022
yes..
from what I understood by talking to multiple times of emma agents that NBC completes the background checks first; then case is sent to FO. and they make the decision regarding interviews. if interview is not needed and medicals are already there then case is approved.
regarding wait times, it was 15 months before last fww

how do you know your FO?
Also, how do you reach the Emma agent??
Abhinav GandhiDec 29, 2022
based on zip code..
keep on typing “live agent” during business hours on weekdays
anonymous 1986Dec 29, 2022
thanks and congrats again! just checking @Abhinav, was this the only i485 you had for the spouse or was there an Employment based i485 that was pending as well separately?
Abhinav GandhiDec 31, 2022
it was family based. it was only my petition

Hi Abhinav, may I ask how long it took between the day your i130 was “actively reviewing” to approval of your GC? thank you and congratulations on your green card!
