Derivative applicant approved but primary applicant pending
Hi!
My husband is the primary applicant and I am derivative applicant . I got my I-485 approved 3 days ago, while his is still pending.
Our PD is 05/2013,, and our case was moved to Chicago FO 2 before my 485 approval.
For some of you who recently were approved, have any of you been in a similar situation? If yes, how long after your dependents were you approved?
Or did you guys got approval at same time than your dependents?
What should be expected in terms of API updates?
Does the fact that I got approved means my husband should be approved soon?
Thank you all!
